Yeah, kind of a hazard, especially in a time when a lot of structures like bridges were made of iron.

Also you have the inverse square law issue - the energy imparted by the induction field drops off exponentially with distance, so the farther away you want to transmit power the higher the output transmission has to be, and it starts to get really impractical because the field strength varies significantly with distance from the transmitter. A device at the edge of the induction field will recieve a much lower amount of energy than a device in the middle. Assuming that you want to be able to run something useful (say, a refrigerator) at the edge of the field, well now you have to do something to shield similar devices that are closer to the transmission point or they'll melt - maybe you ground them so they can dump excess energy, but now you're wired again anyway, so what was the point of wireless power?

The downside is induced electric current in everything conductive within the transmission area.

The intent is to highlight the stupidity of the tariffs.

Kind of true, and kind of a similar type of humor, though I think a true "Lower Decks" spirit would have to feature regular low-level office workers as the main characters, rather than the director/manager types.

You must be using the wrong repositories... try enabling apt --please-dont-track-me-fbi

can we just stop making pointless cash grab remakes

But we're all out of ideas, and we hate paying creative people a living wage.

give me an xfiles lower decks instead

Hmm, does that work when Mulder and Scully were already like the underdogs of the FBI?

Or would it be like X-Files cleanup crew?

But a proper package manager is better, and we already had that.

Internet user's genius plan to garner more upvotes.

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I used to maintain a projection CRT. Beyond the insane PITA of trying to keep the 3 tubes aligned for more than a day, these things require scary amounts of electricity to operate.

The model I worked on had 40kV input for each CRT, and a disconnected CRT stores a charge like a capacitor, which is a real hazard if you're doing maintenance.

Stay close to people who feel like radiation from hydrogen fusion.

My introduction to this was through the video, so it felt appropriate to share here. I'm sure this is a reupload and I saw it somewhere else earlier than 2012.

You can actually play with it on the creator's website:

This popular successor to the original Turbo Encabulator has now been itself succeeded by the impressive Hyper Encabulator. There seems to be no end to clever innovation in the important field of encabulation.
