Yep.
The highest DC voltage I have been near is around 1000V, it didn't buzz, but 1000V AC also doesn't buzz....
Maybe, but he can also rip your arm off and beat you to death with it.....
When wrestling with a toddler, your stance doesn't really matter.
In some way it is comforting, you know the power is where it is supposed to be... Walking around a 11kV switchyard that buzz is good.
Yes, but I believe you about the fart.
At approx 3kV/mm, you would have to be pretty close to a 10kV fence.
Humidity plays a big role as does the frequency that the fence is running on. But you would be pretty safe standing a meter away, on that dry sunny day in the picture.
Also above a point, the high voltage causes the conductors to buzz.
Agreed.
And the causes are probably broadly similar; lack of education about how to cook, lack of time to cook, lack of education on healthy food, too much food advertising, ultra-processed foods are too common, healthy foods are expensive....
No, but your weird obsession with ridiculously unhealthy food is somewhat interesting.
So the answer is to not visit the US then.
There is also the growing awareness, that you shouldn't send sick kids to school.
My 8yo had a flu, was off school for 8 days until he felt well enough. That was one incident....if you have a one bad sickness and a couple of minor ones throughout the term, you are going to hit your 15 days pretty quickly.
He actually went back to school a day earlier than I would have liked, because he was missing his friends; and he was mostly better.
Some families are sending their sick kids to school; they simply cannot afford to miss work. This causes issues for others. This happens every year, worst in winter.
Maybe if we encouraged kids to be at school, making it easy to get there and feeding the ones who don't have enough food....supporting the families in need. Na, lets just punish our way out of the problems. NB the beatings will continue until morale improves.
If you liked The Expanse, check out For All Mankind.
It feels almost like a prequel, set a couple of hundred years before the events in the series.
Hell, the villains have more character development than protagonists in other shows.
Also Uncle Iroh, it possibly the greatest male role model in TV.
I came here to say this.
We "don't exist" and we want to keep everybody believing that; don't dry to go to New Zealand, it doesn't exist.
I was smarter than my teachers regularly; looking back, some were impressed and wanted me to do well and some were threatened....guess which I remember as the good teachers.
What is the flavor "it looks like orange, but is actually just a tub of shit"
Madam, why does your hat have a mirror on top?
You are correct, the US needs to increase speed limits to even things out again.
No, most religion is people who don't have the capacity to understand the universe looking for answers to the great questions.
It is also people defending that they were indoctrinated into when they were kids. Looking this if you remove the people who end up non-religious there is a 86% chance that you will match the religion of your parents; if they are both of the same faith. There is a good reason that we indoctrinate kids; it works....really well.
I indoctrinate (instill into) my kids into; thinking education is important, reading is fun and questioning and critical thinking is right and proper. We all push our beliefs onto our kids, it is nice when we see it reflected back to us.
THIS
I work with tech; other than in my home office; there is no tech in my house.
The voice activated things.....just no. I looked into Mycroft, which looks interesting, but is till a solution looking for a problem.
Deep sigh!
The lack of critical thinking on display here is so disappointing. The whole SovCit movement is quite sad. These are people who obviously feel they have no control; so they use magical thinking to feel in control of their lives...
Green co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says the party welcomes the ruling and will now consider its next steps.
I wonder what option the greens will have from here.
What arsehole teachers.
I empathize with the mum, worrying about the government cutting the program.... They will be looking for any excuse
Inland Revenue is giving hundreds of thousands of taxpayers' details to social media platforms for marketing.
What the actual fuck!

As the title says.
If you don't know the discworld books by Pratchett, Granny Weatherwax it the most formidable character. She is a witch, but doesn't generally use magic to solve problems; preferring to use persuasion and manipulation. In saying that her magic is extremely powerful.
Maybe a bard with huge wisdom, persuasion and intimidation.
Many struggling cinemas depend on sales of pricey food and drink as ticket revenue mainly goes to film studios. But does banning outside supplies really add up, asks Stuart Heritage
Just wow!
What a psycho.

New research shows high levels of teacher anxiety and frustration over legal liability and paperwork for school trips. But there are ways to maintain this crucial part of the curriculum.
I'd hate to see the school trips decline.
Delft, The Netherlands - 18 July 2024 Electric propulsion systems (EP) have gained popularity in the low Earth orbit (LEO) propulsion market over the last decade, largely due to their lower launch costs. This is driven by their relatively high fuel efficiency (specific impulse - Isp) which reduces

Casey Costello's order to halve the tax is "something that tobacco companies would have been keen to see," an expert says.
Not sure if this is a good thing or not.
HTP's may help stop smoking, or just as likely (in my opinion) increase the rate of people starting.
Seems like a win for the tobacco industry either way.

Tana has resigned from the Green Party and may remain in Parliament, despite the party having demanded she quit as an MP.
She should be removed from parliament, now that the investigation has concluded and she was found to be corrupt....get rid of her.
"Look, there's no accidental monopoly. They are a ruthless competitor."
Pretty cool interview with Sir Peter

DIsney has announced the big names of the new Moana Live-Action movie with three Kiwis in the main group of characters.
Super cool. I was excited to see Frankie Adams in the cast, loved her in the expanse. But was even more excited to see Rena Owen as Gramma Tala....perfect casting.

When can we get this?
J Swap gave money to Shane Jones, and then to NZ First after it got into power. Now the company is asking for protected land to be opened for quarrying.
This fast track to corruption bill, is more worrying than the budget...
