Well, it does depend on some things a bit. The detectable DC current flowing through our bods is 5 milliamps. Our bods have quite a low internal resistance so if it was an internal connection we could detect a few volts. But our skin has quite high resistance. As much as half a million ohms when dry but as low as a thousand ohms when wet. So to get a current to flow we have two skin contact "resistors" plus our internal resistance (which depends on the path length through the bod.) My personal empirical experience says I can detect around 60 volts DC but, depending on my skin at the time, it could be a lot higher or a lot lower than that.

I'm having a hard time keeping up with this thread. Are we talking here about kitchens or courtesans?

I remember ice on the inside of the windows LAST WEEK! The windows are double glazed too. In fairness it was the coldest it's ever been since we came here 28 years ago and the concertina thermal blinds were working as they should.

Sunrise over the lake this morning. AKA my excuse for not putting up a Christmas tree 😀

You will need at least five 12 volt batteries to get any sort of reaction 🤣

I had to look that up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M62_locomotive

When I was walking through the parking lot at Costco I walked past a guy who was loading stuff into the bed of his pickup truck. While he was doing that a lady in the passenger seat had her door wide open and kept yelling, "Hey! Why did you buy Charmin instead of Kirkland!" As I passed the guy I smiled and said "Hey!" while shaking my finger at him. He just laughed. 🤣

Today's technology is much more suited to boring new tunnels. Much less labor intensive and a lot less dangerous than upgrading those made 100 years ago at the very least. Then there's the disruption to traffic to consider. It would be impossible to keep traffic moving during a tunnel rebuild.

We awoke to 8 inches of fine powdery snow. Completely useless for making snowballs and snowmen. In Scotland we used to be able to roll the snow off the grass like making a jam roll but that's not possible with this stuff. I spent the morning trying to start the tractor so I could clear our driveway. I had the charger on the battery. Eventually got it going by jumping it using a battery for the caravan. If it doesn't start again tomorrow I'll try to find a new battery.

We are a good bit South of you and we won't be going any further North. That's eight inches of the white stuff so far and it's getting heavier. 😟

"Good aftable consternoon. What seems to be the problem?"

First the good news: It's going to warm up to 26F tomorrow, The bad news: That's because of the cloud clover, and it's going to dump a foot of snow. The good news: Aspen got clobbered! 🤣

It's not going to melt here in a hurry. They are saying 11 inches over the next couple of days starting tonight and there's already a few inches of frozen snow on the ground 🥶

When I was about 12 years old I spotted City Of Salford on the line at the end of our street. I wondered where this exotic place was but I became a bit disappointed when my 18 year old brother educated me. 🤣

I missed that.

A wee bit hill billy around here at the mo. Forecast says minus 26 Celsius tonight 🥶

Storage capacity. A couple of water barrels. Any excess goes on the ground.

Colorado limits the amount of above ground rain-water capturing capacity to 110 gallons (presumably US gallons 🤣)

This obsession you lot seem to have with scales is, to say the least, a bit sad 🤣 Whether you like it or not model railways have far more to do with theater than engineering. I'm just going to leave that here.

Indeed it does. We got lucky. Some years ago there was a major development with golf courses and expensive houses just along the lake from here so they installed fiber. Whopping big files download in no time at all.

I was going to suggest our fearless leader would be a suitable applicant until I noticed the bit that said, "Button pushing capability cannot be impaired."

This house was built in 1995 and the builder originally built it for himself and his wife. Its not a big house but the rooms are very generously proportioned and the garage is 24 x 24 feet. A few years ago I added a shop/shed which is 20 x 36 feet 🤣

It is near the town center. Out in the valley it's not a problem. Most retail areas in the US have lots of free parking. Not so much in the UK. Also, the parking spaces are much tighter in the UK.

LOL!
