No this was an eclipse, common mistake. An apocalypse is an archaic term for a chemist or pharmacist.

A chance for @bradorsomething, son of Gondor, to show his quality!

When we refer to the grounded conductor (the neutral), it does have a reference to the ground potential of the building receiving power. But the current generated by the power plant seeks the least resistive path back to its source, and the grounded conductor provides a path back to the generation plant that carries no voltage potential for electricity to draw towards or away from - the wire simply accepts the flow of energy to or from the power plant, to complete the circuit without changing the voltage potential.

There is also a grounding wire, which is green or bare, which is present in building in the US to allow anything electrified by stray wires to complete the circuit and trip the breakers in the panel. This wire joins to the grounded conductor (the white colored neutral) at the main panel where the utility provides power… utilities use the neutral as their ground, so current completes the circuit back to the power plant through the neutral.

When I say “the circuit looks for a path back to its source,” I’m playing a little fast and loose here… the current seeks the most potential to complete the circuit pathway. This path is almost always the return path to the power plant.

Join us next week, when I explain that lightning doesn’t care much about our wire at all, because at that scale it’s like the ocean caring about a moat at a sand castle!

It makes people click the link, that’s all it has to do any more.

It would be really nice for these cowards to just hide behind the democrats and let them pass the legislation.

I feel the republicans know who the problems are but refuse to clear their own house to stay in power. History books won’t be generous to any of them for this, traitor or their defenders alike.

As war becomes more and more total, it will eventually devolve to any target in russia being viable. And russia has not much lower to drop in response.

Seems reasonable to find a person to look the other way in Kaliningrad; “the mountains are high, and the emperor is far away.”

At some point it’s just a cruise missile.

This is required when the pilot is flying blind.

Lemmy never fails to confuse me with its civility. I hope it stays here forever.

Keep grinding

I think my home in oregon has appreciated $300k in the last 5 years, and realistically I could probably hold out for another $300k over that based on location and improvements. It’s ridiculous, and I say that as a beneficiary of all this insanity.

I’d appreciate a spiral, because a healthy new party could come out of the remains; I see more of a slow death, attempting to drag everyone and everything down with it.

If the courts dictate the medical restrictions, the courts can provide the associated care.

I don’t think I’ve seen a true state-military attack by Iran outside of seizing ships… I wonder what a Shehed strike would mean geopolitically if it was directly from Iran.

Everyone watch out for crazies at any gatherings. Crazy Americans are generally armed.

Is “Republican” a motive?

Can… can it be one? Please?

So you have chosen… death.

They’re prepared to fight, they just haven’t thought it through. Which is why they’re prepared to fight. Doesn’t stop them from the terror attacks they’ll commit before they’re killed or locked up.

Man that’s good story telling.
