exasperation

Peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes have basically spread everywhere at this point. Most Asian and African cultures have readily incorporated those into their own food traditions to where it's hard to imagine how those cuisines were like before crop exchange with the New World.

It's not electricity, exactly, but it is a higher voltage that is different from the average of everything around it. Electricity needs a closed loop to flow, and breaking open the loop with a switch means that no electricity flows, but the voltage of the live line goes up and down, creating an electric potential with anything that might be at a different voltage, if a conductor touches both.

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm in over my head on this discussion.

I am reminded of my first day in an electrical engineering circuit theory class, when the professor made very, very clear that he was teaching us theory and fundamentals, and that the real world of electricity required a lot more safety built into the procedures and designs, because not everything behaves the way the undergrad textbook describes.

So I've learned something new. Thanks.

A simple lamp can demonstrate.

You have both live and neutral lines in the cable, coming up to a switch, which can either open the circuit on the live line or the neutral line. Then, the lamp itself has a single light bulb as the load.

If you place the switch on the live line, then the energy of the live line stops at the switch, with only whatever lower voltage is in the neutral line to actually be connected to the light bulb and lamp assembly.

But if you place the switch on the neutral line, you're leaving the entire lamp on the voltage of the live line, which gives the voltage more places to potentially short circuit. If you were to take a non-contact voltage detector, you'd be able to detect a live voltage in the line leading up to the bulb, even when it's not turned on.

You generally do this with the in-wall wiring and switches, too, and make the wall switches break open the circuit on the live line, not the neutral line. It's just a better practice overall.

And no, the neutral line is not totally grounded, so it can still pose a danger, too. But safety is exercised in layers, and putting the switch on the live line is the better practice.

it's a bad practice to design appliance in such a way to assume that neutral will have low voltage, because in case of neutral failure in three-phase circuit you can get full voltage there,

Who's using three phase in a setting where these types of plugs are used? In the US, at least, three phase circuits use very different receptacles and plugs.

The fact of the matter is that the switch has to be placed somewhere. And it's safer to place the switch between the load and the live wire, rather than between the load and the neutral wire. Designing a system where the live and neutral can easily be known makes it easier to do the safer thing.

The actual electrical device can be designed such that it depends on exactly which direction is live and which is neutral.

Imagine a circuit loop that, as you follow along the circuit, has an AC power source, then a switch, and then the electrical appliance, leading back to the AC source it started from.

If you design the circuit so that you know for sure that the live wire goes to the switch first before the actual load, then your design ensures that if there is a fault or a short somewhere in the appliance, it won't let the live power leak anywhere (because the whole device is only connected to the neutral line, not the hot live voltage that alternates between positive and negative voltage). It's safer, and is less likely to damage the internals of a device. Especially if someone is going to reach inside and forgets to unplug it or cut power at the circuit breaker.

That's my whole point. If you're gonna ask the airlines to give different amounts of space for different sized people, don't expect your tickets to stay the same price.

The current system is that the ticket prices are the same (price fluctuations happen but not based on the size of the passenger), and that everyone of a particular fare class gets the same sized seat.

But they were all of them deceived, for another pair of tongs was made.

Yes, we're human beings, so airlines do a different pricing strategy, where everyone pays the same price and everyone gets the same amount of space.

Got it. You're saying the tongs aren't long enough.

Which essential amino acids can't be obtained from plants?

Soybeans, quinoa, and buckwheat are complete protein sources. More importantly, pretty much any grain (wheat, oats, barley, rice) plus any legume (peas, green beans, beans, lentils, chickpeas, peanuts) are a complete source of amino acids.

Omega-3 accumulates in fatty fish, who obtain it by eating krill and other small animals, who obtain it by eating algae. Algae oil is available as a supplement. Also, Omega-3 is in tree nuts like walnuts, as well as flax and chia.

Oh, and B12 supplements come from yeast and mushrooms, not bacteria.

If you're gonna go hard at vegans you should at least get your facts straight.

Without looking up the details, I'm just gonna assume both facts are correct (no anatomically correct women dummies before 2023 and a pregnant dummy in 1996), by saying that the 1996 dummy was a pregnant man. Only two years after Arnold Schwarzenegger started in Junior.
