This tickled me.

@dag
exactly my man!
thats why i found it ironic.i read this super depressing article and just hours later you post this incredibly positive and hopeful new project you are working on to filter creative ideas to combat the serious enviromental problems we are all facing.

and what i have been dealing with over the past few months i really needed that kind of hopeful message.

wish you had a team to battle ignorant local government officials and fundamentalist church clergy.

anyways..im tickled by this new project of yours.
you are pretty amazing my friend.

It's actually slightly more complicated still. With the power supply he's using, a DC power supply, he could turn it up to 100+ volts and hold both leads without issue (not touch them to his tongue, but hold them in his hands would be fine). I've done exactly that before; I could feel a slight amount of discomfort as current flowed through my fingers at both leads (the point of highest current density in the circuit that is my body), but it could otherwise be said that it 'tickled'. I've also had experiences once or twice in my life where I accidentally touched 120V AC, and it most certainly did NOT tickle, it HURT.

What people don't realize about humans (and even regular tap water) is that both are actually highly resistive to DC current, in the megaohms region. Once you get to 10's of Hz, for example 60Hz, 100V starts becoming quite deadly. The capacitance in our body (and in water with ion contaminants) allows current to flow much more readily when you get to alternating current of at least that minimum frequency. The net effect is that your body's resistance decreases as the input frequency increases.

Yes, it is 'current that kills', and even more accurately 'current density that kills', but it's the amount and frequency of voltage applied paired with the frequency specific resistance of the system that determines how much current will flow.

Happy B-day arch-heart of art-ness-You tickle us all in a way only a few sifters do, thankful that there are folks like yourself here

Cheers

i cannot express just how much this fake scandal tickles me.
my feeds have been blasted and coated for weeks since this all started with "i support phil" and "phil is a hero of the first amendment".

a fake controversy about a show i dont watch.
on a network i dont frequent.
based on words from an ignorant hillbilly.

but even at the outset of all this it had the flavor of fabrication,a planned and calculated cacophony of incendiary bullshit.

a product was being marketed.

and will ya lookie here.....
thats exactly what it was.

phil roberston was no salt-of-the earth,hard working hillbilly redneck whose family made it big in the duck calling business.

he is a savvy businessmen who plays a scripted role in a scripted "reality" show that appeals to a certain demographic.
he is an actor.
a product created to entertain the masses.
a created character where many of his loyal fans can relate because he looks just like them.
talks like them.
acts like them.

kinda like sarah palin but with a ZZtop beard.

the conservative christians have been duped.bamboozeled.
even this controversy has been a marketing creation in order to sell more T-shirts and posters.

and it has worked brilliantly.

? The first one is chopped down to about the same length

But that one tickles!
