pretty much..

@funny

@mur2501 hmm, ill have to read through it when i get the chance.. looks legit at first glance though and doesnt appear they cheated as I thoughtt hey might.

@felisuco hi again

@mur2501 meanwhile in the lab where this was discovered:

"Hey did you hear abut the new breakthrough Bob made in his research of coronavirus?"

"You mean that creepy dude that never talks to anyone that i only catch looking at my tits with the greasy hair and BO?"

"Yea Bob! he wanted to know if you would mind volunteering some bodily fluid for his latest trials"...

"Again, I just gave him my urine last week, what does he want this time!"

@mur2501 cant imagine how it can be a valid solution if it doesnt either a) consider the contact points or b) consider opposite sides as having a bus (at which point it wont matter where the contact point is)...

so likely b then, which would make the question kinda what its expected to be.

I'm also wondering if maybe the official answer oversimplifies the problem too and just considers the whole board as the average of the two conductivities (which strictly speaking would give an incorrect answer).

@robots I only have maybe half a dozen LCD screens but mostly of different sizes, and I kind of love them like my babies (a consequence of growing up in the 80's where even having a liquid crystal display of digits was expensive)... but i might buy a cheap extra one or two just to see it spaz out under high voltage (im more ok with it if its one i havent already grown attached to :) )

@mur2501 Yea my gut tells me it is worded poorly.. terminal strips is not a good word to describe what I think they meant (as those are not a continuous electrical connection but lots of tiny posts insulated from each other. I think they meant something more like a BUS wire running down opposite sides.. Only reason that makes more sense is i feel like they are just trying to get you to use the equation for a resistor and making it seem complicated (which is all it would boil down to if opposite ends hav ea bus on each of them).

@icedquinn Doesnt have the elements people feed off of who act like they.. not nearly as hurtful, the pepeople arent as abused or as fragile emotionally, and it wouldnt give them the same sense of superiority..

No one bitching about trans people are doing it because they actually care about the system or whats fair, or their safety or any of the things they say.. these people literally just have self esteem issues and being an ass is just some way for them to get attention

@robots I feel like that would not be the least bit spectacular other than to watch momentary jiberish on the screen and a little flicking.. might be more fun to hook it up to a mini LCD though and skip the pi :)

@mur2501 if they arent important then im confused on where the contacts, exactly, are suppose to connect on the board as it would make a difference

@felisuco hi there, welcome to qoto!

@mur2501 im also slightly confused because it mentioned it wants me to find the current when a voltage is applies across the terminals.. yes doesnt say where on the board exactly those terminals connect (though i might assume its at the points on the illustration, but maybe not.

For example if the terminal leads are applied closer to the opposite corners I'd get a higher resistance than if it were applied to adjacent corners and a different current if applied to the middle of opposite sides... or are they implying by the terminal strip that the opposite sides are electrically connected across the entire side?

@mur2501 I presume the terminal strips they mention but dont show are where the circuit that **is** drawn (the one with the ammeter) connects to the board, rather than the wire connecting directly? In other words, the mention of the terminal strips isnt particularly important and the diagram is effectively complete as is?

@weinshec Welcome to the fediverse, ill be following you.

QOTO is devoted to STEM professionals with strict requirements, so all our members are scientists or engineers, I only mention this because if your looking for new contacts/friends/follows on the fediverse you might want to check out our timeline, many of our users would likely be excited to follow you back as well. Assuming your looking for some STEM content.

Either way, welcome to the fediverse and feel free to say hi anytime.

@jpx Squid? looks yummy whatever it is.

hmm, im running out of fun things to apply 100's of kilovolts to... I mean aside from the actual practical uses :)

@icedquinn

I actually could rock that shit! android and all!

@meowski

Nah its just that doing an apostrophe isnt easy when im typing from my phone or tablet, nor is editing, You can usually tell if im at my computer or not based on if i use apostrophes or the correct version of your.. on my phone i will always use the shortened form and since it is never ambiguous see not need to inconvenience myself on my phone.

I do miss the days of slide out keyboards on phones though.
