Sounds like you are talking about the entirety of a small circuit?
If the circuit connects both sides of the capacitor, then it will discharge it. But that means the circuit is discharging the capacitor.

If I am, say, putting a capacitor across neutral and live of an ac cord, then I am charging it. Then if I unplug the cord and connect the live and neutral wires, I would be discharging the capacitor.
But ... you don't connect the wires of your plug. They are floating. If one is held at 300V from the capacitor because that was the voltage at the moment I broke the connection, then it will remain at 300V relative to the other forever.

Floating is the default state of disconnection. If I rip the capacitor straight out of the running machine, it will be floating and will usually keep its charge for years. If your remaining circuit doesn't contain something that can drain the capacitor, it will stay undrained.

They absolutely can, that's why we often put resistors across so they slowly discharge.
The reason we don't use them as batteries (yet) is their very low energy density. We'd need kgs of capacitors to match a typical phones battery life.

can make it round so the syrup spreads more evenly from the center.

Oops you made pancakes

Making text flow naturally, grouping and ordeeing information, good writing.

You can verify two textst have the same facts and information, yet one reads way better than the other. But writing a text that reads well is quite hard.

If you don't habe the ability then you would do what you would have 5 years ago: not do it
Either submit without, or not submit at all.

Since about 1.5 months ago?

Uh, you can't just use a profile that doesn't exist

[–] Redjard@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I can though.If all the profiles are garbage it's beyond saving anyway, a single outlier can be ignored.

Are you unbiased in this matter despite your connections to big cheddar? I prefer moon gouda.

The monitor sends you a list of accepted input formats. You can sanity check among the list for any outliers, without online information and without hardcoding limits.
