    Everything is a wire if the voltage is high enough.

    Every machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

      I was interviewed for a position where lady handed me a pen and asked if it was a conductor.

      I replied: "if the voltage is high enough, yea. She scoffed. Needless to say, I didn’t get the job.

        Honestly I think you gave the experienced adult answer to what was a high school or even middle school science question.

        that just sounds like a weird interview.

        “you’re qualified for this position if, and only if, you can answer a useless question with only a rudimentary understanding of the subject and no critical thought”

        if true, you dodged a bullet

          Assuming that you can draw a triangle from any 3 lines, draw a triangle from lines of length 1, 2 and 3

            Isn’t that impossible, because let’s say you use 3 as the base, the only way 1 and 2 could connect is if they were at 0 angle.

      Oi! As an engineer I worked damn hard to trap that magic smoke in the machine only for you to let it out and try perfectly good components. Treat your machines with respect, they’re getting smarter by the day and they’re forgetting less and less!
