ooh, Electrical Engineer here, I can answer this one!

No.

As a computer engineer, don't listen to my advice, once things go above 12v they get scary for me

[–] spicytuna62 30 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Ever short a car battery? Even 12 volts gets pretty scary pretty quick when you send it at like 700 amps.

[–] peopleproblems 3 points 3 months ago

Oh, 100%. But I also don't typically work with 8kW power supplies. And typically I'm not the path of least resistance.

[–] suction 2 points 3 months ago

Volts, amps, watts are an outmoded and unnecessary overcomplication to describe the power of an electric current. If toxic males are serious about curing their loneliness, first course of action would be to strike at least two of them.

how did you find out? you shouldn't be sabotaging at work

[–] WagnasT 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The same way an EMT knows you should wear PPE when riding a motorcycle.

Anyway, the ones that do this shit tend to be hard R republicans and I know they didn't fix their lonliness because right before they will say 'i use arc btw'.

I misread and started wondering what Arch Linux had to do with republicans who sabotage physical infrastructure

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I misread and I’m still wondering. Can you please help me out here?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

No idea, but I guess its not Arch-related

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Arc as in like... electrical arc? electricity/plasma that jumps to a surface through air? substation casts lightning spell on redneck

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah… arc flash. That makes sense

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

Ah, the EA games argument.

How do you know this game is crap when it’s not even out yet?

Sometimes, you know.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Electrician here, please no.

[–] captainlezbian 10 points 3 months ago

As an industrial engineer it’s obviously industrial sabotage that’s the solution

[–] someguy3 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Pardon me, but the qualification to answer this is if you're lonely or not. Not whether you're an electrical engineer.

I mean there is some overlap there, but we don't know your situation.

[–] WagnasT 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I don't have to be lonely to tell if these idiots shooting at my transformers are still lonely after. Pretty confident they are still starving for attention.

Am lonely though.

[–] scarilog 2 points 3 months ago

Lonely electrical engineer here, I concur.

If I built a catapult and fired a big arse log into the tower things wouldn't it look kick arse and make cool sparks and shit?

I feel like I would need some Bros to help make and manoeuvre the catapult obviously.
