Then again, 50V or less could kill under the right conditions; all depends on the path of the current and the resistance between "contacts". A mere 20 milliamps can cause respiratory paralysis and 100 - 200 mA can cause fibrillation, should the current pass through the chest. Higher current may not necessarily cause the lungs or heart to stop but will cause severe burns likely internal, which ain't good.

Or so it is written.

Questions for those that believe in Electricity

by OnTheWayOut in

you can't see electricity or hear it or feel it.

well, there are sparks and lightning bolts and heating elements and the light and heat of filaments.

and somehow, it lights up neon in a tube.

I believe in electricity, especially when it bites me...

Though not exactly correct with respect to physics, I've found the water analogy the best in terms of understanding concepts and terms.

Imagine a water tower. The water in a high tower will have more force when it hits the ground than a low tower. This is akin to voltage, a potential of energy

Amperage is analogous to the diameter of pipe from reservoir to ground, a larger pipe allowing more water to flow through a point at a time, in effect.

Power is essentially the energy that can be converted or spent doing something useful over time and is directly related to volts and amps. The same power could be had from a trickle from a very high tower (high V, low A) as from a low tower opened up wide (low V, high A). Applications may vary.

And I've seen water towers, so electricity must exist...

Golden Rule: Pure Garbage?

by willmarite in

on another thread a poster made the comment that the golden rule was garbage.

she said it was arrogant and made assumptions.. i didn't want to derail that thread so i started another wondering if this is a common thought about this belief on this forum.

i guess i naively thought the value of doing to others as you want them to do to you was generally accepted as positive.. i understand people have different opinions of jesus as a person but i don't want to get into that here.

I referred your original whine regarding me, the one where you didn't have the uh, fortitude, shall we say, to call me by name. So yes, you absolutely are confused.

What I didn't mention earlier and what is plainly obvious is that you weren't the only one who critical of the topic. I didn't mention any names and didn't think I had to, but the point was made yet you're the only one taking offense. As I mentioned, my post was drafted so as not to be overtly aggressive or insulting on a point of disagreement. I think most people would/could see that as a modicum of respect in a conversation.

Also, I based some of my initial post on previous experience with other people besides you and how they treat others. You seem to take my initial post to mean it was all about you. Which it wasn't entirely but it's not surprising that you once again, make it all about you.

Oh, and it's rather telling of you to try and hit below the belt as a last resort. Very telling.

Anyway, as I suggested, rather than continue to derail a thread because you've got some kind of hate boner for me, feel free to read my suggestion to Eden. I'll get you two a room and you can give each other sexy massages telling each other over and over what a terrible person I am.

Who said you were a terrible person? I didn't and don't think so. I don't care for your posting style but that doesn't make you a bad person. All I did was disagree with you, initially.

It seems here and in general you can't handle disagreement and resort to below the belt innuendo and insults as some sort of defense. Again, very telling.

I am done engaging with both of you.

Glad to hear it

PS. sorry to the OP re my engagement here and my part in derailing the thread.

LOL, ok

Not at all. Perhaps you're confused because your complaint has nothing to do with with the golden rule and what it means. Or perhaps you are just desperate for something to complain about. Only you know. Or don't, depending on how confused you are.

Confused? Complaint? You asked a question with respect to your opinion, I responded. If you can't handle answers you don't like, perhaps you shouldn't ask people questions.

Desperate to complain? Really grasping on this one. My post history says otherwise. Does your post history have any complaints, hmmm? Project much?

Keep trying, you're getting closer...lol

Well, you certainly think you did.

It's all there. Sorry if you have trouble understanding black and white text

Actually, I didn't. You responded prior to the question. That's called "order of events". Are you sure you aren't confused?

How could I answer prior to a question?

Of course not. I am perfectly happy to let people say ridiculous things. It actually saves me quite a bit of work.

Why do you work at being ridiculous? You seem such a natural at it, lol

You enjoy engaging people with ridiculous things. Like saying the golden rule is selfish and a horrible thing, lol.

I get that you don't like me. You've said so. I also don't care in the least that you don't like me. I get that, for some reason, you like to post about me without saying it's about me but making it extremely obvious that's what you are doing.

Uh, discussion board, remember? I was responding to the OP with a statement that was in opposition to yours. I think it's allowed to discuss things on a discussion board and reference other posters' comments, even indirectly.

Would you have felt better if I said "Viviane said this but I disagree"?

I've no idea why, if you don't like me, you would feel the need to post in such a manner. It's very odd. Were I you, I would just say what I feel rather than obfuscate and wait for someone else to address what you are trying to say.

There has been and are a few posters I don't like. It's not a big deal, at least not for me

Who said I was waiting for anything? Assumption on your part. I said what I felt as I always do and considered that what I was saying might offend you, as clearly it was in disagreement with. Odd that this would be misunderstood really, as it seems common for many, but not all people to avoid direct conflict in a social setting. I get that you aren't like most, maybe that's why you're confused on my posting style and conversely also why others sometimes take offence to yours. But either isn't something I can answer and really doesn't matter to me.

Maybe you're confused, maybe you want to tell me what you think but haven't quite worked up the courage, maybe you've a bit of an internet crush. Who can tell these things, but you, of course, and you aren't saying. It's certainly possible you don't even know.

Uh, no, I clearly said what I wanted to. No need for Jedi mind tricks; they don't work on me :)

Oh, I know alright. And internet crushes are for noobs, lol. Been there, done that.

Anywho, thanks for the virtual chess.

Well, I'm bored, so what the hell.

I don't tell people how to think or behave, so basically... none.

Interesting. Well, that's a relief. So then, your comments were only editorial i.e. your opinion?

Or is it a fact that the golden rule is a selfish, horrible idea? Do you have evidence of this? Please be specific and provide references, lol.

I wasn't playing any game. I simply asked you to clarify something.

Which I did

No one asked you to respond to me.

Really? You're seriously playing that card?

Actually you did, by asking me to clarify something (see above). What a crock of shit statement.

If you didn't want to discuss, perhaps you should think before you enter a discussion.

I might have thought you would've asked me first if I wished to discuss it before telling me what to do. LOL

I made a comment, Perhaps I wish to discuss it, perhaps not. To be quite honest Viviane, I've no interest in discussing it with you, specifically. If you have a problem with my opinion, that's your problem. I've no need to debate the validity of the topic
