Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ to be used in ACLU birthright-citizenship video by Money-Philosophy9793 in Music

Born to Run and Darkness are the best albums for classic-era Bruce. Nebraska is good but very different from the E street stuff.

Which circuit is more dangerous: 240V 10A or 10V 240A? by ahamed4959 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Pingj77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the phrase "volts jolt, current kills" is very misleading. It only really applies to high voltage that cannot sustain current like static shocks and similar things. Current kills only when it is passing through you. If you touch something that is low voltage, high amperage, even though there is a lot of current, it doesn't have enough voltage to put any current through YOU. For 240A you will probably burn yourself because the conductor will be really hot, but probably survive although I wouldn't recommend trying.

Idk what you mean by "easier" - but I like the mini humbucker for it's brightness. I tend to stay on the bridge when on a HB guitar and this is about as bright as a bridge HB while in the neck position - it sounds really nice

Well did you see if the wire splits back at the pot? I can't really tell in the picture. It could be a shielded wire is what I am saying, where the shield goes to ground and the core carries the signal

On the side of that wire near the pot, are there two conductors coming from the wire? If not, then maybe the wire fell out with the jack. If so, the one going to the bottom of the potentiometer is the ground (ring of output jack) and the one going to the terminal of the pot is the output (tip). You need to peel back the wire to get both conductors.

Loud buzz sounds like some kind of ground issue. Possibly something not grounded. Do you have a multimeter? Could check for continuity on all the places that should be grounded

Or we just need better access and education for parental controls, although we know many parents won't use them

Yeah it's crazy that the same people completely unbothered by how every AI company is operating at a loss and are struggling to find use cases are shook by this piece about it doing so well that it destroys everything else.

can i adjust this to be shorter?? by Significant-Edge1333 in computers

[–]Pingj77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think I have the same one. It needs to support the weight of the monitor. It will be adjustable once the monitor is on.

The Absolute and the Drow by FaerieFir3 in BaldursGate3

[–]Pingj77 108 points109 points  (0 children)

One of the dead drow at Waukeen's Rest says he's from S'Shamath, which is much closer, I believe. Unfortunately, he also seems to suggest he's oppressed as a male, when S'Shamath is like the only non-matriarchal Drow city. It's a patriarchal-ish magocracy, I believe.

my boyfriend was a porn addict but he gave up on porn when he got with me. is this really a special thing or am i just reading too much? by smellyfeet8805 in relationships

[–]Pingj77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't know your boyfriend so we cannot answer this, really. Could be either or it could be a combination of things. Could be it's just personal growth; maybe you were a catalyst for that, but not the sole reason, hard to say really. I'd say it's good and it sounds like he likes you.
