I would argue that's more due to the up-down and front-back limited rotations combining to form a circular mode, kinda like a Cartesian to Polar coordinate mapping

Percentages are somewhat misleading here. That's around 2 in 25, enough to falsely accuse a student or 2 in a fairly standard classroom for example.

I remember somebody mentioning a quote along the lines of "A 95% success rate sounds good, until you become the 1 in 20 that it kills"

Before we had diodes in our curriculum i was curious how one would wire them up or mark them on diagrams considering they were inherently polarized, given how electron flow is opposite to conventional. I was quite delighted to see the P/N semiconductor types making it immediately evident

For a sec it looked like the aftermath of a very interesting debate session

Oof I feel I've been cursed on this front. Any events I try to plan have invariably had zero participation. A particularly rough one was when I tried asking 6 or so people to join me for a convention, 5 of them had (genuine) reasons for why they couldn't join, and the last one tried their best but almost as if by superstition, their phone died

It's gotten to the point where (in an admittedly superstitious manner) I ask people to plan events on my behalf, and inexplicably that ends up working

I think it's starting to calm a little, but yes it's been unbearable here in South India ;-;

One usual use case is for IPMI-style server management, being able to remotely monitor and interact with the machine before even the BIOS is ready, so particularly more relevant to server deployments. For example, adjusting BIOS settings over a dedicated management LAN for several thousand rack servers

Ahh right, I was wondering if voltage levels would be compatible, that makes sense. Thanks!

On point 1, as far as I understand, generally since they use fossil fuels to hear water and generate steam to spin turbines, the generators output grid-compatible AC right away

Apparently Jupiter's gravity well can work both ways, either stopping asteroids from reaching us or giving them just enough energy to reach us. It's quite impartial at that. This video from Braintruffle covers the gravitational dynamics: https://youtu.be/1zu41rrc_Ng

Ooh I'm appreciating the India spotlight, keep em coming :D
