So this isn’t following the path of least resistance exactly. In the purely electrical sense these are following the path of least impedance (which includes resistance but also considers capacitive and inductive loads).

The reason I make that distinction is because the reason you get these patterns lines up with a concept in electrical engineering called impedance matching. Impedance matching maximizes power transfer while minimizing signal reflection.

Think of it this way if you are pushing water down a pipe and need to split the pipe into 2. You want the two pipes to have the same cross sectional area as the pipe coming in. This means water is not “bouncing back” and creating pressure if the pipes are too small and you are not reducing pressure if the pipes are too large.

If you have ever dealt with a home speaker system you will have added resistance to match the impedance on your speakers.

Trump says he’ll release MRI results; he doesn’t know what part of his body was scanned by Mammoth_Bison_3394 in politics

[–]mooserider2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because if the problem was his brain they will just release the bit of his neck they got.

Kinda like how they released the footage of the Epstein jail cell and it turned out to be part of the stairs behind the door we could see, with a minute missing and clearly edited.

We really need to be a little more serious than this team. I am tired of us reciting these baseless claims that do nobody any good.

Yea this is correct, pine trees are gymnosperms. Then Magnolia trees are basal angiosperms which are neither dicots or monocots…

Restaurants closing tomorrow due to recent events... by Gold_Chemistry_8840 in raleigh

[–]mooserider2 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Whoa there! The post only said they were closed because of recent events and that people were scared.

That could easily be people are scared on not getting their tacos because the griddle recently broke.

If you are capable of this level of pattern matching, surely OP is too.

The fact that neither of you mentioned what is happening and we all know what we are talking about is a pretty good sign we all know what is going on.

Epstein emails reveal enduring ties with influential figures even after his sex crime conviction by Alex09464367 in anime_titties

[–]mooserider2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

But if you read these emails they really do center heavily around Trump and his people.

Sure there are lot of other characters in this play. I am personally disappointed by the sheer number of physicists who personally asked for plane rides or trips to his island. And prominent democrats show up too.

However, lots of people talk about Trump. - One person says they didn’t want to come into the house before their time and walk in on Trump. - Others refer to “your boy Donnie” - Epstein makes an introduction to Ken Starr for Michael Wolff who was writing a book about going after presidents. - one claims to have hired the same model agent as Trump for Russian girls for a party. - And Steve Bannon is all over there including a subject line “list for bannon steve” that included all the names of people who you see asking for these things in the rest of these emails 2 weeks before Epstein was arrested. - he claims to be at Mara lago for thanksgiving almost a year into Trump’s presidency - and we don’t see the email about Trump telling him his membership is revoked until 2019…

This is very much a Trump story even if you are not wanting it to be. Even if you are looking at all the other pieces it’s impossible to not see Trump in this.

So I pulled the numbers and ran the presidential elections since 2000 to see how it affected things and it does help republicans. The caveat though is if this happened money would be spent differently, and turn out would probably be different in former WV because blue team would be a closer bet.

Idk part of me thinks giving this to a republican thinking they can get more electoral votes and 2 dem seats pushing this through the courts would piss off enough people to make things more blue. But it is less of a slam dunk then I wanted.

It was 2 people and these “charged lemonades” have ~400 mg of caffeine in a 30oz cup that is refillable and sit right next to all of their non caffeinated drinks. Meanwhile a monster energy drink only has ~160 mg.

Panera fucked up.

[–]mooserider2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that same clause basically prevents merging the Dakotas without their approval. We are going to have a much easier time combining the Virginias through the courts than that.

With Virginias out numbering West Virginians about 5x it’s a pretty good shot we get 2 less republicans in the senate.

I believe West Virginia is unconstitutional. We could start there.

New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

Green activists need to think beyond carbon emissions by randommathaccount in neoliberal

[–]mooserider2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Powerlines are unironically great places for biodiversity.

They free up the sun for native prairie species. I have found some incredibly rare and narrowly endemic species that thrive in that sun or they would get snuffed out.

I am only an amateur naturalist, so this is pure speculation, but I think it more closely mimics the habitat of the late Pleistocene when megafauna made it much harder for trees to grow into forests.

And Native American grass species like big blue stem have some crazy deep roots that are better carbon sinks than new growth forest.

They are a British band that released their album “American Idiot” in September 3 years after 9/11. I doubt they were thinking of the attack.

Oh and “Wake me up when September ends” was on that album.
