Yep.

The highest DC voltage I have been near is around 1000V, it didn’t buzz, but 1000V AC also doesn’t buzz…

Maybe, but he can also rip your arm off and beat you to death with it…

When wrestling with a toddler, your stance doesn’t really matter.

Yes, but it isn’t hosing down with rain…

In some way it is comforting, you know the power is where it is supposed to be… Walking around a 11kV switchyard that buzz is good.

Yes, but I believe you about the fart.

At approx 3kV/mm, you would have to be pretty close to a 10kV fence.

Humidity plays a big role as does the frequency that the fence is running on. But you would be pretty safe standing a meter away, on that dry sunny day in the picture.

Also above a point, the high voltage causes the conductors to buzz.

Agreed.

And the causes are probably broadly similar; lack of education about how to cook, lack of time to cook, lack of education on healthy food, too much food advertising, ultra-processed foods are too common, healthy foods are expensive…

No, but your weird obsession with ridiculously unhealthy food is somewhat interesting.

So the answer is to not visit the US then.

There is also the growing awareness, that you shouldn’t send sick kids to school.

My 8yo had a flu, was off school for 8 days until he felt well enough. That was one incident…if you have a one bad sickness and a couple of minor ones throughout the term, you are going to hit your 15 days pretty quickly.

He actually went back to school a day earlier than I would have liked, because he was missing his friends; and he was mostly better.

Some families are sending their sick kids to school; they simply cannot afford to miss work. This causes issues for others. This happens every year, worst in winter.

Maybe if we encouraged kids to be at school, making it easy to get there and feeding the ones who don’t have enough food…supporting the families in need. Na, lets just punish our way out of the problems. NB the beatings will continue until morale improves.

I came here to say this.

We “don’t exist” and we want to keep everybody believing that; don’t dry to go to New Zealand, it doesn’t exist.

What is the flavor “it looks like orange, but is actually just a tub of shit”

You are correct, the US needs to increase speed limits to even things out again.

No, most religion is people who don’t have the capacity to understand the universe looking for answers to the great questions.

It is also people defending that they were indoctrinated into when they were kids. Looking this if you remove the people who end up non-religious there is a 86% chance that you will match the religion of your parents; if they are both of the same faith. There is a good reason that we indoctrinate kids; it works…really well.

I indoctrinate (instill into) my kids into; thinking education is important, reading is fun and questioning and critical thinking is right and proper. We all push our beliefs onto our kids, it is nice when we see it reflected back to us.

THIS

I work with tech; other than in my home office; there is no tech in my house.

The voice activated things…just no. I looked into Mycroft, which looks interesting, but is till a solution looking for a problem.

Deep sigh!

The lack of critical thinking on display here is so disappointing. The whole SovCit movement is quite sad. These are people who obviously feel they have no control; so they use magical thinking to feel in control of their lives…

I have 3 hungry boys to feed, I’m not sure I could carry all of our groceries in one trip. , 😁

If it wasn’t for our massive moat, I’m sure Act would have suggested something similar already.

The populist rhetoric that lot spout is quite worrying at times.

Most NZ supermarkets just stack the boxes at the front after the checkout.

Are also keep a few in the back of the car.

Or boxes; we use boxes. Carrying 3 - 4 boxes up stairs is much easier than 10 bags.
