In fact, forget the blackjack!

Why is this not knowledge taught in school?

It is the first time i hear about it and i have never thought of it, yet it makes total sense and could make the difference between life and death in a storm damaged area.

That's so interesting. Thanks!

Any cable that's not where it's supposed to be, just stay away 👌 Even if it isn't visibly cut there could be a short somewhere

Honestly I think you gave the experienced adult answer to what was a high school or even middle school science question.

that just sounds like a weird interview.

"you're qualified for this position if, and only if, you can answer a useless question with only a rudimentary understanding of the subject and no critical thought"

if true, you dodged a bullet

The dog breed?

I think people just don't understand ohm's law. They seem to think voltage and current are unrelated to each other.

Hence the signs saying "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE"

It's a very dumb saying. If you don't have the volts you won't get the amps to kill you that's ohms law.

However, there are plenty of harmless high voltage scenarios as well. Situations with high voltage, but no power.

So really you need both.

Its the "power" that kills you. Power depends on you as well as voltage.(Your resistance determine the current and time period of current flow also matters)

In static electric fields, sure. But the real world has rapidly changing electric fields, and mapping concepts like voltage or resistance to a time dimension starts to require imaginary numbers (and the complex analogue to resistance goes by a different name of impedance). And once you're modeling electricity through those concepts, you can have high current in a particular moment in time where the voltage might not be high. Or where the implied voltage is very high but was actually more of an effect than a cause.

In other words, if you're simply talking about "resistance," you're already in the wrong domain to be analyzing electrical safety properly.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal…

sadly, I never was good in music class and my sense of rhythm is bad

First one isn't even metal. But yes. Not doing that is why anyone even remembers Party Cannon.

I can't see femtanyl in there even after you told me what to look for

There's a Youtuber who has a series of videos trying to decypher metal band names.

It's quite fun

Does the last one say "Seth"?

It's a big example of a Jacob's Ladder (the climbing arc of electricity seen in science labs in movies).

The problem I have with it is that it gives a false sense of security and how the world works. Most people think lightning rods attract the lightning and direct it into the ground because of this. 1/3 of the world has 220v and 110v connected directly into their showerhead without any idea why they don't die from it.

Diala works great for... Cooking... Steaks. I don't know where to go with that because of how nope it is.

YOUR PUNY AIR CANNOT CONTAIN ME MORTALS, YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ME GREAT PILONS IN VAST SWITCH YARDS TO APPEASE ME!

(Angle grinder sounds)

Wait... Is that a copper bus bar and a pipe? PATHETIC! NO BUS BAR IN A PIPE CAN MATCH MY ELECTRIC FIELD STRENGTH, I WILL FLASHOVER THE MOMENT YOU ENERGISE -

(Hissing sound of a gas filling a pressure vessel)

What are you doing? WAIT, IS THAT SF6?! NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST SMOOTHER ME IN AN INERT GAS WITH A HIGHER DIELECTRIC STRENGTH, I HAVE RIGHTS! NOOOOOOoooooo

(Muffled screams)

In typical conditions, an electrical arc forms when the electric field strength exceeds the dielectric strength of the medium (like air). In a vacuum, there is no medium to ionize, which theoretically makes it difficult for an arc to form. However, electricity can still arc in a vacuum under certain conditions, such as when high voltages are involved or when the electrodes are extremely close together.

I'll see what I can fit into my next design

Oh. Well guess now you have to take me to a gay bar?

Is that how I can do it?! I've been looking for something for my nostril hairs lately...

Sounds the same to me
