Stupid people....

[JKnightandKARR]

Idiots amaze me.... I got some moron trying to tell me that these large F caps for car audio don't store that much power... this is in responce to idiots in video playing with one of those big caps.... i got one from a crt tv and its little taller then redbull can maybe 33% taller and it welded the screwdriver to the terminals.... so this bonehead apperently needs to learn the hardway....

Sometimes people give misinformation online just to troll people. Just look at the number of "Perpetual Motion Machines" people demo online. It's simply impossible. Yet people show these videos of them building machines that seem to run without any external energy. Perhaps they think you'll actually try to build it. I don't know. But yes, there are a lot of idiots on this rock, for sure.

Oh yeah.... Don't forget spark plugs creating free energy garbage...  Heaven forbid social media remove or at-least demonetize these stupid scams, which is ALL they are....  It's sad how social media is anymore... I still need to upload photos to ABC6 on your side, local news network thing, for one... Got the N word dropped on me on FB, his comment is STILL there, while my comment of calling him out as a racist ***** got removed and an account restriction on me under the "Bullying"... so FB is deffinatly out of control in some ways....
    When idiots like that get one heck of a jolt from one, maybe it will spark an intelligent idea...  I know like 60-65 mA is ALL it takes across the heart to kill someone, not totally, sure about how many Amps across one hand to the other to kill someone, but I sure as hell have NO intention to try it....  and watching Electrboom, short caps using 1 finger and getting a good zap, and those can leave a small mark on one, let alone like a 3F cap..... I've seen videos where someone replaces their car battery with a pack of supercaps, so it's NOT hard to think about with a little common sense, then again.....  we do live in times where we need a warning label on a chain saw to tell "Warning: Do NOT attempt to stop moving blade with hands OR genitals".... Yes... in-case you are wondering on THAT one..... Saw it on box for Chainsaw when I lived in TN....            I'd have LOVED to be there, ALMOST, to see that nimrod do that one....

I play Call of Duty sometimes on PC...I've been called the N-word many times. But I know these are just stupid kids / punks who are emboldened by being anonymous online. You can report stuff in-game, but nothing ever happens. So I just mute them. I refuse to let social media upset me anymore. You saw my recent post about Facebook...to your point though, I have replied to scams before, calling them out for what they were and had MY post moderated.

One time, a friend posted a picture of a giant spider in her house and asked what she should do. I quoted the movie, "Aliens" and suggested that she, "Burn the place down! It's the only way to be sure!" It was obviously a joke, but Facebook removed my comment for "inciting violence". So, I don't do a whole lot on Facebook anymore.

More recently I have been more active on Mastodon. I rarely use Twitter or Facebook anymore unless I am posting an article on S///C. I don't review products on seller websites anymore, because they often remove reviews they don't like. Amazon burned me a long time ago with that.

To both of you: Yeah the N word. Being half black for the last 68 years last I looked, leaves me with getting the from the N's and the W's. Can't get a break. So is life.
This is not all of the people just some: I get it from the N' and the W's. I now live in northen Arizona in wonderful Trump countrh\y. Siince this is an open carry state, I am basically left alone cause I have generally my 1911 A1 on my hip. Been here three years N word used twice but I think that these troglodytes are used to me now as, well for the first year the Oath Keepers kept trying to seduce me into their fold. To which I reject that notion. I have been on the correct sideof the FBI and the NSA for work. Those Oath Keepers have a tendancy to go to jail.
Since they see the weapon instead of incogito I must be "INCOGNEGRO" all the see is the gun and think since I am excersizing my rights, I must be in camoflage all they see is the gun.
Stupidity at it's most high point.

Martin, while I can't know what it's like, I can certainly sympathize with you. There's a YouTube channel I subscribe to and watch every day. It's called, Indisputable, and is hosted by, Dr. Rashad Richey. I linked his bio on the NAACP website. He's a college professor, law student, lecturer, etc. But on his show I can see how some of the stories he reports on affect him emotionally.

As a black man, he is often in the position of reporting actions against black people by police or racists / bigots and I can imagine how hard that can be sometimes, because he is often showing video footage of such events. And when you see some things happening it has more impact than just talking about it. I was appalled at the most recent video I watched on his channel. I will NEVER visit Virginia City, Nevada after seeing this video.

LOL people anymore AMAZE me that stupidity has NO limits.....  I saw video of one MORON, I don't think there's a word to describe this level of stupid..... and this is EPIC God level stupidity, one of those, "Someone outta tell him, but he pretty much deserved what happened kinda moments.... Took running jump off bleachers, got jerked back, next thing you see is pants drop, and well one end rope on bleachers, other end, ..... needless to say, ER visit and emergency surgery REQUIRED.... Self Neuter job.....

Yeah, I kinda figured that out.

....... WARNING: Do NOT accept electronics advice from someone on Facebook that thinks the watt values on resistors determine the LEDs needed values or LEDs in modern bulbs if the circuit is say 12 across, 10 leds means each LED has 12 volts going across the leads vs its actual rating, like 1.5v or esp (yes, it's another AMAZING FACEBOOK BULB REPAIR PRO VIDEO!!!), in this case, graphite+some mystery white powder and superglue means an acceptable led bulb repair.........

You may now continue your daily activity.

[Chris Savage]

yes, it's another AMAZING FACEBOOK BULB REPAIR PRO VIDEO!!!

LOL I saw one where the guy was basically scraping the dead LED off the PCB and replacing it with aluminum foil. No soldering involved at all! Taking one LED out of the circuit increases the power across the remaining LEDs. I give these videos the same weight as the perpetual energy machine videos.
