  • Yeah you were talking about 100s of Amps. A human body won’t conduct that without a lot of voltage/potential difference. You don’t even need 1 amp to kill you though.

    Yeah if there is exposed and grounded pipe work present that changes things somewhat. The lowest resistance path is probably still back through the same power strip the electric came from through, as water isn’t the best conductor out there.



  • A human body wouldn’t conduct that much current with mains voltage. It’s just too high resistance.

    Also pretty sure they mean breakers with GFCI as is required in some countries. If they just mean regular circuit breakers then yeah they are fucked.

    Although tbf since it has both neutral and live in the strip it would probably short and not even reach the people. As in almost no current would go through them because ground is right next to it. This would in turn cause the breaker to trip without even a GFCI getting involved potentially.






  • Glad you learned something. Normally this is where I get told that the marxist version of the term is wrong or dumb even though it’s closer to the original meaning than the modern definition.

    I am sure the authors of Merriam Webster don’t mean anything harmful. Dictionaries update their definitions based on how they see the term being used, and many modern people don’t respect the original meaning of the term. In political circles we still use the original meaning. You can see why this causes confusion.


  • You’re using a definition from a random dictionary. This is neither the original meaning of the term nor the one Marxists use. The version you looked up is a “new” bastardization of the original term.

    The bourgeois class under marxism is the class that makes money by owning capital through the labor of others. Think about people who own businesses or have large investments. They don’t make all that money themselves, they make it from people who work in facilities they own.

    There is something called petite bourgeois that could be called middle class. These are small business owners who both work their own business but also have employees they profit from. Marxists care about how you make money, not how much.









  • You’re passionate about something you don’t understand and have never tried.

    Tap to click you remove your finger and press it back down to click. That’s why it’s called tap to click and not press to click.

    With haptic touchpads you keep your finger where it is and apply more force. It’s a completely different gesture and is very similar to mechanical clicking touchpads.

    Why it’s better is because it is consistent across the whole touchpad surface versus mechanical typically don’t work towards the top of the touchpad. Mechanical touchpads normally feel loose to me and you can’t change the actuation force. With a haptic touchpad you can change the actuation force since it’s a force sensor with a software defined threshold.

    It also doesn’t feel anything like phone haptics. It feels more like a press than a vibration like a phone does.

    These are also higher quality touchpads in general that have more resolution. Theoretical even better than the Apple force touch devices I have used.

    Walk into an Apple store and try one of their devices before you complain again.
