  • Of course, if they’re in the army, can’t they be executed for treason and the like?

  • From the way they are acting, they clearly don’t seriously think there will ever be a chance of them losing power, so they probably will go for it.

    Of course, they’re probably also fully aware that if the Democrats ever DO regain power, they will trip all over themselves to “let bygones be bygones” and restore the filibuster for the Republicans to use.

  • That’s the same threat he’s made to every state, city and institution. Do exactly what I tell you too or I’ll use the power of the federal government (unrestrained by congress or the courts) to crush you. So, what he’s implicitly saying to any mayor.

    So there is literally no point to paying attention to what he’s saying - he’s going to do it regardless.

    No it isn’t and it never was. That was the excuse they used to cover their gun fetish. They always saw themselves as the shock troops of the authoritarian takeover, and the fact that they are delighted it’s happening is confirmation.

  • Elon Musk suggests creating a new political party amid Trump rift

  • Sure, they could, and probably should. But evidence suggests they won’t. So what’s the point of them spying on him? They’ll collect a bunch of information and do nothing about it.

  • Elon Musk suggests creating a new political party amid Trump rift

  • But you can be sure that the spy agencies are watching him. He's already too powerful for comfort, and it's their job to spy on people like him.

    And do what? It was very clear that if Trump got elected he’d take a wrecking ball to the country that we will probably never recover from, at the behest of a hostile foreign leader he’s been openly conspiring with for decades. What exactly did they did to stop him?

  • I just went to a conference in Hawaii, which is usually a very popular, but half the poster boards were bare. I saw multiple recorded talks because the speakers were denied entry visas, including one of the opening keynote speakers.

  • Prototype of RTX 5090 Appears With Four 16-Pin Power Connectors, Capable of Delivering 2,400W

  • And the fuse for the circuit absolutely should not be the limiter, the RCCB should trip WAY before the main fuse.

    While that certainly SHOULD be the case, in the US at least while RCCBs (we call them GFCIs) are generally required in wet areas and perhaps for new construction, in most older houses the majority of circuits don’t have any sort of ground fault protection other than the fuse/breaker. In my current house we have them on only two outlets - one in a bathroom and one in the kitchen.

  • In most household shocks, you touch a conductor, and you are the resistor to ground. Your resistance is independent of the drive voltage, so if you touch a 110V wire, the current will be half of what you get with a 220V wire. So the voltage determines the current, and thus the lethality.

    There’s lots of other factors that go into the effective resistance like the amount of moisture on your skin, what shoes you’re wearing, and what the floor is made of, etc, but in all cases twice as much voltage will cause twice as much current. You are by far the highest resistance element in the circuit, so your resistance will completely determine the current - most household circuits are capable of supplying 10-15A continuously, so your resistance is the current limiter.

    It’s a bad idea either to go touching live wires either way, but the rule of thumb I heard was was that a 110V shock usually won’t kill you and 220V shock usually will.
