In Canada?

If only… Last I saw (have a couple on my Facebook) they’re comparing people who think he doesn’t have the money to people who claim art they don’t like is worth millions of dollars… Holy non sequitur, Batman.

I like edamame as much as the next guy, but it will never replace bacon, no matter how charming the pig.

I thought I was agreeing with you…

Hence the abuse…

That’s a given. The problem comes when you want to profit off people who would bring their own water, but you don’t let them.

Concrete is literally rocks, it should be free right?

These also have inefficiencies which would reduce the runtime on the battery.

Not wrong, but the efficiency of inverters is really high, loss is just about negligible.

Since liquid water can’t be compressed

Common misconception - it can, just not very much, so the volume change is tiny, and in practice, there’s usually something else in the system that is changing volume by a larger amount- like air bubbles, or if there’s anything elastic in the plumbing, it will stretch - but regardless, water absolutely can be under pressure.

resistance only reduces current, but when I think of hair in a pipe, the pressure after the obstruction would also be lower

You are correct, in electronics, resistance drops voltage (assuming the load is in series with the resistance). In fact, a cheap quick and dirty digital to analog converter uses a bunch of resistors to supply different voltages…

AC is like tides…

The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club.

Water analogy works better with plumbing. A river, not so much. But people aren’t that much better at understanding plumbing, unfortunately…

My mom was making an effort to understand Ubuntu just before she died…

It works perfectly as long as you assume there are a bunch of extra spatial dimensions that can’t be seen…

Dodecahedron. Fight me

Why use many words when few will do?

Conversely, just because a model is wrong doesn’t mean it’s not useful.

Bingo. All models are “wrong”, good models are useful despite being “wrong”. Relativity is wrong too since it can’t account for anything quantum… Relativity isn’t better, it’s just more accurate under certain conditions - but outside of those conditions it’s more complex than it needs to be, and Newton’s models are good enough.

My money is on a dodecahedron.

FUD sells…
