AC come, DC go...

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: markie_farkie: Watt is wrong with you, subby? This headline will most certainly polarize the Fark community.

C'MON, MAN, JUST LET SUBBY BE KING FARADAY

No matter how witty the current headline, there will always be some resistance.

Well, everyone here seems to be on the same wavelength about this. Some poor zap diode, and you're all crackling jokes about it.

Did anybody notice that his first name was MAX? I wonder if his middle name was Power.

Started with PG&E, ended with P=VI.

Resistance is futile.

It's sad to see a life cut short.

Watt a revolting development. He must not have been well grounded in the basics of electrical theory.

/all seriousness aside, I had some good advice from a EE 30+ years ago: always work with one hand in your pocket. You might get bitten, but the current won't flow from one hand to the other-through your heart.
//once got hold of 380V
///it was exciting

Is this a positive or a negative?

Not enough, in this poor sap's case. Another 50Ω or so and he might still be with us today.

/sweaty hands kill.

Sparky?

Ohm man, that was pun-believable!

Man ends his electrician career to become by becoming a conductor

FTFY

Diode know whether to laugh or cry.

Ol' Jalopy: Man ends his electrician career to become by becoming a conductor

FTFY

Subby's headline is still better. It doesn't really need fixing.

I guess he didn't bolt in time.

I don't see watt the big deal is......it has kilowatt of people the same way before

I chuckled at the headline and the first few comments. My girlfriend made me explain to her what I was laughing at.

She the proceeded to get really upset and call up all "Sick" and "Perverted"

I love fark

Shame. He was working on his pièce de résistance

Watt is going on in this thread?

I am powerless to stop it

The Fark EEs need to gain the upper hand and induce a new wave of puns. Transistor.

Now he's starting another phase of existence...

Shocking stat

Just what I needed--a little juice to start off the morning.

He just went with the flow.

I once saw an electrician trying to find an open 220 circuit in an electrical panel. He wet the tip of his finger and started touching the wires/fuses in the panel. He did a little body shimmy every time he found a 110 circuit. Let a loud "AAARRRGGHHH!" when he found the 220!

Best FARK headline in a loooong time. Bravo, subby.
