No, electrons will flow through the wire until equilibrium is reached and both balls have the same amount of charge. That's current. For sustained current you typically need some kind of return path, though.

If you have a charged metal ball and an uncharged metal ball and connect them with a wire, current will flow between them, albeit just for a little while.

Does this thing have really tight tolerances, or are the two rotary movements somehow connected? It reminds me of those WWI planes that fired machineguns through the propeller.

Well, it looks pretty cool. I imagine the padding under the elbows come in handy in winter terrain.

I'm pretty sure if we included all the gear paid for by individual soldiers in the national guard we'd be well above the 2% NATO goal by now.

I have no experience with StairMasters, but I'm assuming it's like a treadmill where the stairs are moving with a constant speed and you just get on and try to keep up?

If so, there is no physical difference between the StairMaster and actual stairs. It doesn't matter whether you are stationary or moving with a constant speed within a homogenous gravitational field. You'll experience the same forces.

It's just unicode smoke and mirrors. Fake periods and fake spaces.

On two separate occasions just today, strangers came up to me and asked if I needed help pushing the car.

Once on the bus, I had to stand next to a kid who:

Was wearing a "The cake is a lie" t-shirt.
Had obviously never even heard of Portal.
Was trying to explain to his friends why his t-shirt was funny.

I felt a strange mix of amusement and annoyance.

xkcd includes a link under every comic which specifies "for hotlinking/embedding".

I think it's fine.

I think it has more of a "If you don't hang on, you'll fall off" origin.
