My quick assessment for yellow lights is "can I comfortably stop before the stop bar?" If I'm going to have to hit my brakes harder than I normally would for a stop sign, I'm giving it gas. Quickly making that judgement is actually really intuitive most of the time and has worked great for me over the years.

Good question. I've put my tongue across a 9v battery a number of times to check them. Fully charged, it's uncomfortable but bearable. A 33% is pretty big, so I assume that 12V probably hurts enough that you wouldn't want to do it for long. I doubt it'd do much damage if it was brief though.

I looked, and it seems like the resistance of the tongue is between 10k and 1M ohms. Assuming the average value of 100k ohms, 12V is current limited to 0.12mA and 1.44 milliwatts. It takes like 10 watts to run the average LED lightbulb, which makes it about 7000x more powerful. Gene would be okay.

Very weird to have the GOP and pedophiles as two different entities. The GOP has not and will not ever do anything to protect anyone other than members of the GOP.

You know what bugs me so much more than cheaters in my games? Not being able to fucking play them. Sure, cheaters are an issue, but blocking Linux obviously doesn't fix that. Like someone else said, just develop server side anticheat and add a reporting system. I understand the budgetary limitations of smaller companies, but AAA titles like BF6 have no excuse, it's just penny pinching corporate fuckheads.

Classic ml activities, always good for a chuckle

Especially as a kid that has no concept of what 120v going from hand to bare foot on concrete feels like. Tenses up your big muscles in the shoulder and peck just like a good punch.

Just another entry on the list of dumb shit that's almost killed me.

What does being a veteran have to do with any of this? Either the state should be killing people or not, their veteran status shouldn't really be a factor in that decision.

I bet ditching musk would fix a ton of their sales issues. Better pay him $1T instead.

That's the weakest comeback I've seen in a hot minute lmao. Keep trying buddy, I'm sure you'll upset me next time. Dig deep.

Sorry homie, op is right as far as getting shocked. 1.5v isn't high enough to feel with your hands. Hell, you can grab both terminals of a 12v car battery and it won't do anything to you.

Those little strips do work by heating a resistive wire though, so it's completely possible that you just heated up the spot you pressed enough to hurt a little. Unless you were a particularly curious or accident prone kid, you probably didn't have a reference for the sensation of getting shocked, so you'd assume that's what happened.

I accidentally touched the hot prong of a radio when i was a kid and thought I got punched by a ghost until i did it again years later. Kids have no idea what's going on.

Lol what a weird little guy. Like a snake biting anything they stick in its enclosure.
