  I think that’s actually a good example for how I see it. If you could push amps, you’d fill the capacitor without having to pull from the other side, but that doesn’t happen, only a tiny amount of current gets in depending on how strong the other side is pulling, which is very little.

  In any case this is just mostly about colloquialisms and convention, because neither is an accurate description of the physics behinds it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨owo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m lost. How do you “push amps”? Technically it’s just Ohm’s law, and “pulling” or “pushing” are only colloquial terms, but in regular usage, a device “pulls” or “draws” a specific current.

  The definition of voltage kinda supports this, because voltage isn’t something that exists at a single point, like pressure - you can measure pressure in a single point of a fluid, for example, but not so with voltage: it’s the difference in potential between two different points.

  I’m trying to think of something like a taser gun, where you’re kinda trying to “push amps” through some body, but even then there’s two barbs that need to hit, if one of them fails you don’t get the jolt (as far as I understand it, please correct me if I’m wrong), so if anything you’re “pulling” the current across with voltage.

  For some reason this reminded me of a “in between two ferns” interview, I don’t remember with who, where Galiakcnshjjkzzzz goes “I hear you’re very reserved and hate personal questions. So when did you first get your period?” and I thought that was so stupid that it was hilarious.

  Also with how expensive a plot of land is these days, no way we’re splurging for individual accommodations.

  Perhaps we could consider investigating the train of circumstances that have led you to sleep naked in the past, as I feel it may shed some light into the volatile rectum situations.

  Why are feet the human radiator?

  One would expect that an extremity that is so far away from the core areas, with its limited blood flow and lack of any particularly relevant component, would be supremely inefficient at radiating heat.

  That is until you wake up feeling like an ice cube and grumpy enough to shoot the first thing that looks at you funny because one foot was uncovered.

  Best I can tell, the criteria for calling something “cheese” in America is containing 51% cheese.

  That’s just ridiculous. Either it’s cheese l, or it’s a product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BIG (like Americans) IF TRUE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My understanding is that cheddar is yellow, not orange, unless they add colouring specifically to make it orange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BIG (like Americans) IF TRUE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also horses, and not being murdered by their companions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BIG (like Americans) IF TRUE⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s done since it’s not real cheese.

  Oh I misread it as front right/passenger wheel, my bad. Yeah that doesn’t leave much alternative.

  Which is kinda stupid since that car’s front wheels are probably closer to the curb than many trucks’ driver side wheels are even when parked properly…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it fits...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  OP could park nose first into the curb. Checkmate.

  There’s absolutely no way that could have happened. While Sauron was defeated on the slopes of Orodruin, the movie scene where Isildur and Elrond climb to the ledge of the fires isn’t in the books.

  Elrond recounts what happened that day to Boromir, much later:

  Isildur took it, as should not have been. It should have been cast then into Orodruin’s fire nigh at hand where it was made. But few marked what Isildur did. He alone stood by his father in that last mortal contest; and by Gil-galad only Círdan stood, and I. But Isildur would not listen to our counsel.

  ‘“This I will have as weregild for my father, and my brother,” he said; and therefore whether we would or no, he took it to treasure it. But soon he was betrayed by it to his death; and so it is named in the North Isildur’s Bane. Yet death maybe was better than what else might have befallen him.

  There’s no way Elrond could have picked up a grieving Isildur who is holding his dead father, carried him kicking and screaming, and yeeted him off the precipice.

  Imagine, in the hour of such a pyrrhic victory, with Gil’galad and Elendil bodies still warm after their sacrifice, trying to murder the new High King of the Dúnedain and, technically, the ruler of both Arnor and Gondor over having claimed a ring? That’s a whole new war right there between what human and elven armies were still standing…

  He has to scrape Jake Paul off of his legs a lot, that looked like hard work.

  Of course! The smooching had me giggling like a teenager.

  But also, I’m so impressed by just how much stage presence Christian Boyle and Jeremy Jordan have! I’m not dissing anyone, far from it, I love the whole cast so much, but those two are made for live acting, they have that bigger than life quality or something.
