How many Tomlinsons does it take to change a light-bulb?

He must have been so excited when his dad said “series” and “parallel” because he knew he could include those words that he doesn’t understand in his tweet about changing a lightbulb. Rick isn’t doing any actual electrical work, he probably just put the wrong kind of lightbulb in the fixture and they blew immediately.

There is a crime YouTuber I watch that put out this video about this crazy Las Vegas politician who killed a journalist that exposed him for being an absolute menace to his employees (among other things)
I just post this here because this guy’s arrogant attitude reminds me perfectly of Pat, I mean look at the text exchanges at about 47:30 in the video, only thing missing is him calling the journo a “stalker child”. His murder of the journo also has about the level of competency that I would expect if Pat ever decides to kill a stalker child.

these faggots sound and act just like Patrick. What could be a genuinely funny thread sucks because of a bunch of low attention span window lickers. I thought the death fat women and vtubers were the worst on the site

I’ve mentioned this before but they’re all literally redditors. They’re doing the same things they did on reddit before their sub got nuked.

Someone should edit this meme so the cop is @Null and the black guy is OnA pests

I think it will get the point across that OnA pests are acting like niggers.

I hate to be that guy but if you don't know that you shouldn't be wiring things up in your house in series you really shouldn't be wiring things up unless you're following directions and double checking yourself every step of the way. I'm actually kind of bamboozled as to how he could have managed to do that based on the image he posted. That fixture should have been wired up in parallel internally and all he should have needed to do was to hook up the live and neutral leads to the proper loose wires on the top of the fixture. Even if he got it backwards it still should have worked fine. Unless he built that fixture himself, or if it was specifically designed to undervolt incandescent bulbs to achieve a target color temperature (which would work fine but it'd be easier and more versatile to use a dimmer switch since you could crank them up to full brightness at will), it should have just worked. You really have to go out of your way to wire something up in series as household electrical stuff is pretty much as idiot proofed as it can be

I'm not an electrician or anything but for a very basic run-down of series vs parallel, if you wire up a set of devices, lightbulbs in this case, in series, you're splitting the voltage between them. If you were to wire them in parallel, as intended, you're splitting your amperage instead.

Anything that plugs into your house is going to be designed to run on 110-120 or 208-240v, usually tolerating anything between those two or even a bit lower, and pulling anywhere from a fraction of an amp up to 12-13 for standard 120v plugs (or 15 amps for brief durations). As you'll notice, you've got pretty narrow ranges on the voltages, but quite a wide range on amperage that you can play with. Very simple devices, incandescent bulbs for example, will work in series just fine, they just won't be as bright. You don't want to run an AC motor on decreased voltage though, that's really bad. It will instead increase the amps that it's pulling in an attempt to hit its intended speed, and amperage is the primary driver of waste/lost heat, so the motor will very quickly burn itself out. Never try to run a fan on any kind dimmer unless it specifically mentions being designed to do so, is what I'm saying. You can get PWM dimmers now which theoretically should work but it's still not the best idea

Where series circuits tend to be more useful is when you're working with batteries. Rather than dividing your voltage like with a consuming device (bulb, blender, etc) you can multiply it to hit a specific power target. If you have a 20v power tool, as an example, rather than a 20v cell, you'll have 5 3.7v batteries in series (and potentially multiple 5x3.7v series in parallel for larger packs, they're nominally 20v because that's what they have at full charge but that drops almost immediately as you start using it), giving you approximately 18v at 10-30 amps for most of the pack's runtime

I don't think the short position actually exists.

He puts his entire life on twitter. If he was actually shorting the stock, he would have announced it on the day with an accompanying twitter thread of half baked "investment analysis"

He saw it went down. He believed it would continue to go down. He thought he would look smart if he said he was shorting the company.

Come on we all know he NEVER lies. I think that's more plausible to be honest, but I wouldn't put it past him to do some stupid shit like that. He thinks he knows about cars AND that he is the smartest person on the planet, and has also demonstrated that he is willing to waste money for internet points.

Although to be fair that was other peoples money at the begining.

If you wire two car batteries in series, you can use jumper cables to hold a rod and perform emergency field welds

I audibly 'What in the actual fuck'd until I realized all those little tendrils are just the remnants of vines from remaining untended for far too long that he was unable to remove before the news van arrived because those fuckers are almost impossible to get off even when you're not pressed for time

The actual wiring, while ugly as hell, is probably fine but indicative of not having the money and/or know-how to buy/find the proper replacement power supply lead necessitating splicing a pair of lines together. It's just a 12v dc line at probably less than 2 amps so it shouldn't spontaneously burst into flames or anything even if it does end up shorting due to the improper connections. If you have to splice lines like that the technically proper way to do so would be to twist them together, twist a wire nut onto the twisted splice, then tape the nut so it can't come loose. Ideally you'd do that inside the attic then have a nice clean lead heading out through a pinhole to the camera

I was doing chores the other day and re-listened to the Josiah Tapes, Tape 5. Then I listened to it 3 more times in two days because it’s just that fucking funny. He sounds so fucking gay. Fatrick is an absolutely bizarre person. It’s so funny how he has to repeat the same fucking thing over and over again, and incessantly has to correcT anything said about him.

He’s like an auto-response robot, if the robot was fat and had bitch tits, and was a failed writer and threatened to kill it’s ex-wife and unborn baby.

Nya, nya, nya, you sound like you have peanut butter in your mouth, little baby child.

Just wanted to put my fresh take out there. Sorry to interrupt the gay ops and slapfighting.
