I didn't even post in that thread, although I'm not sure who you think got owned. He just handed the "probe" off to a lower-ranking guy without announcing any findings.

Didn’t say owned, I said clowned by a fake title

and there was about a twelve pack all giddy that they might have finally been right after the crow that’s been served over the last 3years

I always figured that because the entire gas-line was charged, it wouldn't arc (since the path of least resistance would always be across the pipe itself to ground and not the pipe, through air, and back to the pipe to ground). But if the pipe were to break for any reason then it definitely would've caused an arc.

Would love to see someone with more balls and smarts figure it out, though.

That would be my theory as well. Also current prefered to run on the outside of metal tubes not the inside.

I sure don’t want to test my theory tho. Maybe we can get the boom guy to do an episode on it

You'll get a kick out of this story.

So about 10 years ago my wife and I moved into a pretty rough rental. It was one of the only houses we could afford to rent at the time and we wanted to get out of an apartment. At the time I had a PC with a cable-card in it and used it as our main TV receiver.

So we move in, I get the TV and PC setup. Last thing to do is connect the TV cable. I have the cable in my right hand, and I'm using my left hand to touch the computer - ZAP! Shook it off, tried again - ZAP!

I spent some time thinking and decided to grab the multimeter. The outlets were dishing out the 120, but the ground wasn't pulling it. I searched forever and found the ground wire completely unsecured in the basement; just touching a water pipe but not clamped. "Fuck!" I thought. So I turned off the power to the house (I think? Shit maybe not) and then secured the ground to the pipe so I didn't kill myself in the meantime and called my landlord to get an EE out quick.

Holy fuck, man. Not only was it not secured to the water pipe, BUT IT WASNT EVEN THE WATER PIPE! It was the god damn gas line. I still get the glad-im-not-deads to this day.

That’s insane. I’m guessing your PC was fucked too?
 
Have any of you guys watched some of the Amy Coney Barrett Senate talks?

Man o Man is this woman a fucking train wreck. There isn’t a question she can give a straight answer to.

Surprisingly not. What I assume happened was that the power-supply was grounded to the case, which would have been partially grounded by being on the floor. So under normal circumstances, the outlet-ground was pulling back most of the power and the floor was pulling the excess. The only reason I pulled the excess was because I was touching the cable, so I became the path of least resistance. But the computer was grounded at all times - it was just a matter of which ground the electricity prefered - and it prefered the cable because it was completely grounded, where the outlet and my body were only partially grounded.

That's my not-an-electrical-engineer guess.

Pfft...according to the insane leftist...

She's been nothing less than exemplary of a person fit for the Supreme Court.

Let me guess, you decided to be offended by "sexual preference" as of whenever you were told to be yesterday, right?

Shut up, KONG.

imagine being this much of a dork groupie for a country you don’t even live in. It’s so odd.


Her climate change responses were very distributing but on point for a reactionary conservative nutter.

She's been killing it, and you're triggered. End of story. Sorry there's no imaginary gang rape stories this time.

Possibly. Definitely not the ideal situation for it. Same for all of the appliances really. And my person :eek:

No she is awful. A religious nutter who doesn’t know what science is.

I’ve never met a Canadian US Supreme Court groupie before. It’s very niche. You have that going for you at least.
