The signal from your brain that tells your muscles to squeeze is electricity. When you squeeze all the muscles in your arm, your hand closes tightly.

So when you're electrocuted, all your muscles are just getting the SQUEEZE signal from all that electricity, louder than your brain has ever sent it before. So your muscles squeeze like crazy, locking your hand closed.

And if you try to let go, your brain's own weak electric signal saying "let go" is WAY weaker than the electric jolt yelling SQUEEZE. So you squeeze.

They don't create any offspring, just the fruit.

If the current is DC, the current causes all muscles to contract. This closes your hand and prevents you from letting go.

If the current is AC, the muscles spasm, and you probably will let go.

In power stations and such, high-voltage direct current is common, and a short can electrify almost any piece of metal. To protect themselves workers brush the back of their hands against metal objects before using them. This way, if the muscles contract, they will violently remove your hand from the object, not grab it.

Tbf I'm talking about 20 years ago, so I have no idea what they do nowadays (I only fly easyJet within Europe), regardless I'd just use my phone and BT headphones whether it was a short haul Europe flight or a long haul anywhere else flight

This question was prompted by watching a show about Hawaii. So, yes, it is poor management, but that's where it came from.

they can support 4k 120fps in theory but just very simple games in that resolution and framerate simultaneously. So if some game really can achieve both at once you can bet it is some 2d platformer.

If you’re just ironically repeating the common myth, my apologies for missing it. But 3 cherries are not enough to kill you via cyanide poisoning.

Muscles are told to fire by the electrical impulse that comes from the body's own nervous system.

The electricity coming from the electrocution source is more powerful than the body that any impulse to open is not received.

The hand in particular has a design which favors the closing motion and not the motion to open. Both sets of muscles are stimulated at the same time by the electrocution source but the closing muscles hold the object in the hand.

We can observe what is beyond the edge of our galaxy. Our telescopes - like the Hubble and Webb - are powerful enough to capture the light of distant galaxies and from that we can see that they are made up of stars just like our own. The Ultra Deep Field is one of the most awe inspring photographs ever taken - each dot of light another galaxy out there like ours.

Too far beyond that, though, and we don't know. There is an edge of the observable universe beyond which we know nothing - the universe literally isn't old enough for light to have reached us from anything beyond this horizon.

We guess that there is nothing special about this boundary and that whatever lies beyond it is the same as what we can observe, but its just a reasonable guess as we can't have any direct observation.

Lort have mercy, those tube headsets were awful.

your muscles are contracting depending on how hard you’re being shocked, so you cant let go

Electricity forces your muscles to contract, Which means whatever you are holding you cannot let it go whilst it is running through you still. It's involuntary.

They should probably just sell or give away adapters, seems like they should be cheaper in bulk even than headphones. And people could use their own headphones.

We can see other galaxies pretty easily with a telescope, what we can’t see is way farther.

Definitely don't want to get rid of the "stone" around the seed in the cherry. It'd only take about three cherries to kill you via cyanide poisoning if it weren't for that "stone's" protection.

I was for all of high school. I could shove a ton of food into my face and never gain any weight.

Then I got to college and it all changed. And before you ask, it was the buffet style dining hand and not beer. Didn't drink until I was 30 but put on plenty of weight.

Aha, I was wondering if there was a way they could imitate decay!

The fruit would go somewhere but I doubt the plant will reseed.

The invariance of the speed of light with respect to frame of reference is a special property. If something is faster than the thing observed to be invariant, which happens to be light, the geometry of special relativity breaks down, predicting spacial and temporal inversions. This isn't just limited to breaking relativity. Other areas of physics would break too. For example, this would also be a violation of the second law of thermodynamics. It doesn't stop there. Much of accepted physics would have be be rolled back.

You younguns and your highfalootin' e lect tronics.

Back in my day, you had your headphones that used air tubes to transport the sound from the armrest to your ears, and you had to return the headphones at the end of the flight.

And you sat smoking your cigarette while watching whatever was on the tiny screen at the front of the cabin and listening to awful sound and you were thankful for the miracle that was modern flight.

I would argue the jack is broken, so even their headphones wouldn't work, which is obviously a different issue.

From your laptop to your home router it's WiFi, so radio signals/electromagnetic waves. Those obviously travel through walls. From your home router to the access points of your provider, it's probably copper wires which carry signals as electric current, and from your providers network into the rest of the larger world it's optic fiber lines, transporting data as light pulses.

Your mileage may vary, as your laptop may be connected via (copper) cable to a router, or you may be lucky enough to have to have optic fibre lines directly into your house.

Your mobile internet connection (3/4/5G) also uses electromagnetic waves to reach the next cell tower, which is again connected via optic fibre lines to your providers network.

Yeah even going 25km/h for 20 minutes straight (which I highly doubt you're doing) you're still burning only 200 calories or so. 20 minutes of treadmill burns around 100 calories or so if you run half the time

Typically the higher the performance, the lesser the quality. Same can be said in reverse. To make a scene look really good takes a lot of processing power and that lowers framerate. Alternatively, to get to the advertised 120hz, lowering the picture quality frees up that processing power and will raise the fps. Consoles only have so much processing power so they can’t consistently do 4k 120hz. Some less demanding games could probably do both but newer titles can’t.
