ooh, Electrical Engineer here, I can answer this one!

No.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 67 points 3 months ago

As a computer engineer, don't listen to my advice, once things go above 12v they get scary for me

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

Ever short a car battery? Even 12 volts gets pretty scary pretty quick when you send it at like 700 amps.

[-] suction@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Volts, amps, watts are an outmoded and unnecessary overcomplication to describe the power of an electric current. If toxic males are serious about curing their loneliness, first course of action would be to strike at least two of them.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Oh, 100%. But I also don't typically work with 8kW power supplies. And typically I'm not the path of least resistance.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

how did you find out? you shouldn't be sabotaging at work

[-] WagnasT@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

The same way an EMT knows you should wear PPE when riding a motorcycle.

Anyway, the ones that do this shit tend to be hard R republicans and I know they didn't fix their lonliness because right before they will say 'i use arc btw'.

I misread and started wondering what Arch Linux had to do with republicans who sabotage physical infrastructure

[-] SandbagTiara2816@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

I misread and I’m still wondering. Can you please help me out here?

[-] sparkle@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Arc as in like... electrical arc? electricity/plasma that jumps to a surface through air? substation casts lightning spell on redneck

[-] SandbagTiara2816@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah… arc flash. That makes sense

[-] Droechai@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

No idea, but I guess its not Arch-related

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago

Electrician here, please no.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

As an industrial engineer it’s obviously industrial sabotage that’s the solution

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Pardon me, but the qualification to answer this is if you're lonely or not. Not whether you're an electrical engineer.

I mean there is some overlap there, but we don't know your situation.

[-] WagnasT@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Nah, I don't have to be lonely to tell if these idiots shooting at my transformers are still lonely after. Pretty confident they are still starving for attention.

Am lonely though.

[-] scarilog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Lonely electrical engineer here, I concur.
