"Not to mention that with the Big Sur update, you can just go to your Photos app and see where the sun is in real time."..... what?

> Also, if, for example, you do your payments or other sensitive pages in a SPA, you're still running 3rd party scripts on those pages for no reason. Let me know when unloading scripts(&their in mem code) is doable.

Are you legitimately worried about unloading third party libraries into memory on the browser??

Hmm I guess since it's advice to young developers they might make that mistake but any slightly experienced developer knows not to trust anything client side. Not validating data from the client isn't exclusive to isomorphic code.

Except that the "useless" jokes will always win the view battle since they are very easy (i.e short) to consume. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that people are consuming long form videos and podcasts

This was exactly what I was looking for thank you!

Hmm okay starting to make more sense now. Do you know a good visual explanation that shows the "path" electricity takes from the transformer to your home and back out to the ground rod. Note: I fully understand in AC the electrons aren't actually moving along this path. But I guess I don't see how the circuit is ever "complete" or a circle.

hahah, they piss me off sometimes though

Yes instinctivly it wasn't making sense as I knew the circuit needs to be "completed". So if that's the case then what is the point of the ground rod that the neutral bar/wires in your breaker box are connected to?

Yes water is a great way to describe electricity in a lot of ways. I'm just struggling with the "returning to where it originates". For instance the electricity didn't originate from the grounding rod it came from the transformer. Earth is providing a very low electrical potential that the electricity is "attracted" to or "falling" to in the reservoir example. Am I wrong in thinking that all electricity is flowing back into earth?

Technically, would it only shock you if your body provided a path to "ground" or lower potential? For example if you were wearing insulted boots and touched the energized piece of metal you would not feel a shock, correct?

From my understanding, if the hot wire (black) were to come in contact with a piece of metal on the fan it would build up electrical charge and or allow for current to pass through the piece of the fan. Then if you were on a ladder fixing the fan and touched that piece of metal you would become a path for electricity to pass through to a lower potential.

Question with myth #1 that "electricity is trying to get to ground". Would that be an accurate statement if you replaced "ground" with a place of lower electrical potential?

Or can you elaborate but the meaning that it's trying to get back to it's source?

Not only is this an old post that pops back up from time to time. This can't even happen. The timeouts work out so that you can't enter a password until the allotted time. So 5 min, 15, 45, 60, etc. It doesn't jump from one hour to 48 years...
