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

No.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 68 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 3 points 11 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.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 2 points 11 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.

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

[–] WagnasT@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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'.

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] SandbagTiara2816@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

No idea, but I guess its not Arch-related

[–] sparkle@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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 11 months ago

Oh yeah… arc flash. That makes sense

[–] henfredemars 22 points 11 months ago

Ah, the EA games argument.

How do you know this game is crap when it’s not even out yet?

Sometimes, you know.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago

Electrician here, please no.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

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

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

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 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months ago

Lonely electrical engineer here, I concur.

If I built a catapult and fired a big arse log into the tower things wouldn't it look kick arse and make cool sparks and shit?

I feel like I would need some Bros to help make and manoeuvre the catapult obviously.
