Legal jargon. You have to say “alleged” until he’s proven guilty in a court of law, no matter how compelling the evidence is

Except in this case it’s not the electric shock that kills you. An arc flash is literally an explosion, creating a blast wave of molten copper and temperatures comparable to the surface of the sun.

No…he died.

One of the videos they showed during my arc flash training was a documentary of a guy who accidentally used a voltmeter on a live 2300V cabinet. The arc flash blew his clothes off and set him on fire. He stumbled blindly through the factory before finally collapsing.

Ivy League schools are just places to make connections with other rich people, so they can land a seven figure job right out of college and think they’ve earned it

Okay so this reminds me of something that happened in a college chemistry class and I was wondering if someone here can offer an explanation.

We were doing an experiment that first involved dissolving some copper into a solution, then chilling it to add another ingredient, then heating it on a hot plate. After doing all the other steps, I placed my beaker on the hot plate and turned around, then I heard a hissing sound. I turned back around just in time to see my beaker flying off the hot plate, off the counter, and smash on the floor.

My best explanation for this is that since the hot plate was already hot, some condensation from the previous chill step had dripped down, flashed to steam, and propelled the beaker off the hot plate.

I think you vastly overestimate my level of computer savviness.

Is there like a “tutorial for dummies” for this? I tried to use it once but got nowhere.

You only need it if you drive it on a public road

Linux. I don’t want “using the computer” to turn into a hobby that I need a computer science degree for.

Act stupid

I’ve been training my whole life for this moment

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think any Earth-based telescope would be able to see anything we left at the landing sites.

I still daily drive an ‘09 Ranger with a manual. I’ve had multiple people come up and ask to buy it.
