  • Well seems to me you do complete the circuit. With some 1000 Ohm resistance of your body, plus shoes depending on whether you’re wearing them and how you’re posed, plus whatever your floor provides to ground. Tile sounds ideal, but I’m not so sure about wood.

    I guess floor heating would not be using metal piping, so at least that’s no shortcut. Maybe rebar could be trouble, but probably the wooden flooring shouldn’t be resting directly on the rebar.

    I guess in most normal situations that would be enough resistance. I concede that point.




  • I think it’s all performative bullshit, not good policy.

    Some decision maker has to appear innovative to his superiours, so he decides to have some number of locations assigned to a trial group and some bullshit installed. Even if it fails, just as long as he finds the right moment to start appearing critical of the experiment he can still pull off his play. After all moving fast and failing fast are also virtue in modern corporate bullshit lingo.






  • Leap years are each fourth year, except each hundredth year, except each thousandth fourhundredth year.

    1896 leap year
    1900 not leap year
    1904 leap year

    1996 leap year
    2000 leap year
    2004 leap year

    2096 leap year
    2100 not leap year
    2104 leap year

    Then you just arrange the 10 year window in different positions to overlap 1 to 3 leap years to reveal the three outcomes of the bug.

    - / - - - / - - - /
    - - / - - - / - - -
    - - 0 - - - / - - -

    - is a normal year, / is a leap year, 0 is an exceptional non-leap year.





  • Well I don’t know… I worked with boomers who first built out the internet in my country. Now they mostly retired, but the Gen-Xers who remain are also incredible.

    My dad who’s also a boomer and an anesthesiologist got admin rights at the hospital he worked at because he helped everyone around with their computer troubles and the tech support trusted him and were happy he reduced their ticket load.

    Maybe you guys just know the wrong people.


  • Yeah for full days or long distances the older places can be cheaper. Also for vans for moving furniture.

    I helped in a move once where they had gotten a van from Mobility. Suddenly we had to start hurrying with the loading and unloading because the cheapskate had reserved only minimal time, I think like two or three hours. That was the worst thing ever, as if moving furniture isn’t a bad enough activity already, lol.
