Just this outstanding example of acting, directing, and prop management.

Not so - fine gazelle!

And before the switch, they showed him speaking Russian so the audience could realise what a good decision it was!

Yeah, but shunts are “added” in parallel, daisy chaining cords adds them in series.

On the contrary, practically every single person in this thread that mentions resistance is talking precisely backwards. Higher resistance will not cause overheating. Except for certain motor loads, it will cause malfunction due to voltage drop. The actual fire hazard is the increased chance of faulty cable, faulty connection, and, inevitably, overloading.

What are you talking about? Current absolutely changes! Your own formula requires I=V/R

It does that because the thin filament has high resistance;

Other way around. Low resistance - high power.

Depending on the angle (a lot going on there) you could go with “denial”. As in, you’re lying, because if you’re bot, then my life sucked, and that’s unacceptable, so you’re lying.

They think they’re Aragorn and we’re orcs.

IDK, the “we only need to be lucky once” is a hell of a message.

The argument for Iran was that Mossadegh was “turning towards communism”. Same for Allende, same for Arbenz. Hell, just the concept of “domino theory” was all about stopping the spread of communism. Pretending they were some sort of equal opportunity saboteurs is deeply disingenuous.

"From each according to his capacity” is the absolute essence of exploitation.

…This is bait, right? It has to be, right? It’s such a profoundly ridiculous statement that it can’t possibly be anything else.

… Dude, I don’t know if you’ve heard about this thing, but it was pretty big. They called it “the cold war”.

Nah, draconian punishments are usually a sign of high-crime, low-enforcemwnt, so you’re overdoing punishment to drive the point home for the few thieves you manage to catch.

…or, more likely, a great^20 grandpa got with multiple great^20 grandmas. All it takes is one harem merging branches somewhere to tip the scales.

I’m actually shocked

I’m not. Ever since the war, every single closet xenophobe of the west has been taking full advantage of finally having an acceptable group of subhumans to hate. If any of this surprises you, you haven’t been paying attention.

Frankly that sounds like “OK, I did install a camera in your bedroom, but it’s not like it’s on or anything!”

I’m sorry, “sympathy for enemy combatant” is a banable offence?

And they do. My Philips TV didn’t even ask for DNS until hardcoded IPs for Netflix et al. timed out. And when it did, it asked Google, not my router.

Simple, we wrrie down the information on how to read the discs!
