A simple question? Post your answer/thoughts

[Dave J.]

Thanks, kostas, the first post in that thread is a great example of what I'm talking about.

DeDevil is gonna have a ball trying to figure out Ohm's Law and grounding problems on that one! Ten million ohms?! it boggles the mind! Perhaps if it were just one ohm.......

* * * * * * *

Gents, it's just a damn ten meg resistor. We used to bias vacuum tube grids with 'em before there were transistors. The fact we didn't have time to count to ten million on our fingers didn't stop us from building radios that worked.

If you want to be really confused over dowsing, forget Ohm's Law, apply Zeno's Paradox. Every time you get halfway to nowhere you can stop to pull another alibi out of Pandora's box.

Thanks Dave,
But ...apply Zeno's Paradox to become confused?
Diogenes falsified Zeno's paradox within minutes of its initial presentation.
We can do as Diogenes did, and simply walk away from the person expounding Zeno's Paradox as a problem we should answer.
The proof that he is wrong is demonstrated by the fact that we can walk away and actually reach point B after leaving the fool and his paradox behind at point A.
It also works for people who have a fake ground paradox for us to consider.

Pandora's box is another story...

Here’s another simple question Does Ohms Law Pass a blind test? Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqjl-qRy71w
to see the answer.

I also don't usually look at nonsense links, but Dave's comments piqued my interest. I even watched "Part 2" to see if he spilled the beans, but he continued to present it all as a bunch of BS. I also bothered to look up "Walter Lewin" and the guy's supposed to be a pretty smart feller, but boy did he screw this one up big time.

Dedevil, since this is a link you were proud enough to share, can you point out where Dr. Lewin's massive screw-up is?

Sorry i'm away at a post with the crappiest of internet connections. There's actually no screw up. Ohms law does fail under other mathematical equations. The problem arises from the history and discovery and pre knowledge leading up to Ohms law that makes it fail under certain curcumstances. There's three different theories here all coming out at diierent points in time
Sorry Dave J But you may have to tell your engineering class.
IN ENGINEERING THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF PEOPLE;
1: Those that can and they and just DO IT.
2: Those that think they can and TRY


3: And those that CAN'T and just TEACH.

[Dave J.]

Well, Mr. Devil, there's another category, those who can neither teach nor do anything useful. We already know for a certainty from your posts that you cannot teach, and as far as anyone can tell you've never done anything useful either. Worse yet, as a matter of intentional choice, that's why you picked the Devil as your avatar.

That's why you get terribly parsed arf at people whom you know for fact both do and teach, and you cover it all up with a schittload of fake laughter.

And the reason you did it here and now is because of the posts that have happened in the Mineoro thread during the last 24 hours. Your denial is what makes the schittload of fake laughter so necessary to you, but your maneuver won't work in the Mineoro thread so you did it here.

And don't whine about my reply. After all, remember that you're getting what you wanted out of the deal, you got nothing to complain about. It's unbecoming of Devils to be seen in public as whiners.

Just a flick of the switch

Usually I don't click on links provided by prestidigitators and gullibillies, because they just link to more of the same. But I wasted time with curiosity on this one.

The guy's a BS'er. Anyone who actually builds electrical stuff that works or who fixes stuff that worked and then failed, will watch this flick and wonder how the guy ever gets through a revolving turnstile without getting his shirt (or worse) caught in it.

Anyone who wants to understand how the world of delusion propagates itself, Dedevil's link provides a first class example of how it's done. Click on it and see for yourself. This much, Dedevil and I agree on: if you want to "read the advertisement", this is a good one.

*************

And what a coincidence, I'm presently teaching a class on the same subject! And, running a con game isn't an option for me, because the boss pokes his head into the class now and then and asks the students if I'm teaching the class well. The reason he cares is because we manufacture stuff that has to work (it can't be faked), and the class comprises engineers who have to design that stuff that has to work and can't be faked.

I have already commented in other posts that Dedevil (his avatar, I'm not making this up!) is true to his calling, he is in the business of ruining anyone who follows him and has nothing useful whatsoever to contribute to anything. To say such a thing about him is not unfair, he's the one who chose to take on that persona!

The LRL'ers stand back in wonderment, dazzled by his performance and afraid to call a spade a spade.

LRL'ers, why is it that you are so willingly conned by this guy who probably never dowsed a damn thing in his life other than a sucker for a con game, yet you choke on critics who are mostly earning their living by designing things that actually work? The reason you can't answer that question straight is because of a real simple reason that both Dedevil and I agree on: you want reality to be something different from what it really is, and are too proud to admit that reality is lord of all and doesn't cave in to your complaints about how it goes about its business.

For those of religious bent, regardless of what your religion may be, I commend to you the book of Job in the Christian "Old Testament" (Jewish "Tanakh"). Job is superb commentary on how people keep themselves in misery by making demands on reality which reality isn't interested in caving in to. It's so "on topic" (in the context of this forum) that the story is cast as a contest between the LORD and the Devil. It's not history, it's a fictional story, so no "belief" is even necessary, it's all a question of what you see when the light bulb is turned on for you.

Got a riddle for ya, Dedevil...... "How many Lucifers does it take to turn on a light bulb?" LRL'ers await your answer with bated breath.

--Dave J.

“Job” is perfectly on the subject. For once I agree with the crazy one who can’t do and so teaches. It was a job to refine and edit the bible for mass production from the old testament to new. So one of the best LRL’s that we know of “divining” was edited out as the work of the devil, because static had no scientific explanation then.
Well I’m actually well over the LRL debate here so I’ll be the first little Lucifer.
My new mining method doesn’t involve a job or the work involved with that. I want to be a lazy miner. So I developed a new system. The problem I see with LRLS is that even if I built the best LRL and detected something I would still have to travel a long distance to retrieve it. So I looked around and found something that’s fairly common in the earths atmosphere and surface that people don’t want, and built a machine that sends a signal to bring it to the machine. So I get paid twice. Once by hiring the machine out and second by selling the gathered concentrates for other useful purposes.
And now i sit back watching the sports channel while drinking beer with my young girlfriend pollishing my knob and conclude that LRL's are too much work and OBSOLETE.
Do you SEE THE LIGHT!
Those that CAN ..DO.

Your little anecdote reads like a "Chuckie story". Nothing you've said so far smacks of any credibility, so obviously a rational person isn't going to believe your latest story.

Electrostatic precipitators have been around a long time. A simple one would make a good 6th grade science fair project. In principle you could have built one, but I don't believe you've ever built anything that works or done anything useful. Everything you say runs to the contrary, even your avatar which you yourself chose, "skeptics" didn't make it up for you!

PS: what's your girlfriend think of your half a dead fish?

A rational person would understand that if I’m making good money from my own design a “can do” thing, then, then obviously I’m not going to give away my thoughts to someone who “can’t do” and teaches. Unfortunately it’s the rules of the game. Is this your latest LRL? Do you detect a static precipitator?? Well I could play that COLD, COLD GETTING WARMER game and become your LRL meter.
But No. It’s not a S.P. And, It is my idea, so sorry I’m not sharing.
And actually my girlfriend enjoys fishing now that we have set up the business and have time to spare.
Unfortunately I hear that you have a JOB you have to go to, called teaching. Myself I preferred to go into business and earning my own money, it felt like becoming a MAN. You could learn about it by going back to school, Oooohh sorry! I forgot your still at school aren’t you, with that JOB called teaching. And we are all so “on topic”.

[WM6]

It is my idea, so sorry I’m not sharing.

I hope so: "not sharing" for free and not for money. Better collect all gold of the world, using your idea, for yourself.

Or you don't believe that gold can be collected by using your idea and it is better to sell it to naive believers and take gold from their pockets?

My opinion
Answer to question one: If you are not necessarily grounded circuit fashion because if you have a shoe and eliminates the chance that this floating ...
Answer to question two: It is still connected.
Answer to question three: It is still grounded.
