Yep.

The highest DC voltage I have been near is around 1000V, it didn’t buzz, but 1000V AC also doesn’t buzz…

Maybe, but he can also rip your arm off and beat you to death with it…

When wrestling with a toddler, your stance doesn’t really matter.

Yes, but it isn’t hosing down with rain…

In some way it is comforting, you know the power is where it is supposed to be… Walking around a 11kV switchyard that buzz is good.

Yes, but I believe you about the fart.

At approx 3kV/mm, you would have to be pretty close to a 10kV fence.

Humidity plays a big role as does the frequency that the fence is running on. But you would be pretty safe standing a meter away, on that dry sunny day in the picture.

Also above a point, the high voltage causes the conductors to buzz.

Agreed.

And the causes are probably broadly similar; lack of education about how to cook, lack of time to cook, lack of education on healthy food, too much food advertising, ultra-processed foods are too common, healthy foods are expensive…

No, but your weird obsession with ridiculously unhealthy food is somewhat interesting.

So the answer is to not visit the US then.

If you liked The Expanse, check out For All Mankind.

It feels almost like a prequel, set a couple of hundred years before the events in the series.

Hell, the villains have more character development than protagonists in other shows.

Also Uncle Iroh, it possibly the greatest male role model in TV.

I came here to say this.

We “don’t exist” and we want to keep everybody believing that; don’t dry to go to New Zealand, it doesn’t exist.

I was smarter than my teachers regularly; looking back, some were impressed and wanted me to do well and some were threatened…guess which I remember as the good teachers.

What is the flavor “it looks like orange, but is actually just a tub of shit”

You are correct, the US needs to increase speed limits to even things out again.

No, most religion is people who don’t have the capacity to understand the universe looking for answers to the great questions.

It is also people defending that they were indoctrinated into when they were kids. Looking this if you remove the people who end up non-religious there is a 86% chance that you will match the religion of your parents; if they are both of the same faith. There is a good reason that we indoctrinate kids; it works…really well.

I indoctrinate (instill into) my kids into; thinking education is important, reading is fun and questioning and critical thinking is right and proper. We all push our beliefs onto our kids, it is nice when we see it reflected back to us.

THIS

I work with tech; other than in my home office; there is no tech in my house.

The voice activated things…just no. I looked into Mycroft, which looks interesting, but is till a solution looking for a problem.

I have 3 hungry boys to feed, I’m not sure I could carry all of our groceries in one trip. , 😁

Most NZ supermarkets just stack the boxes at the front after the checkout.

Are also keep a few in the back of the car.

Or boxes; we use boxes. Carrying 3 - 4 boxes up stairs is much easier than 10 bags.
