You're just not as bizarre as you make out. Or as cool.

go somewhere, get ignored, come back, tell us all about it, pretend

You'd be more grammatical if you weren't so unaware of the subjunctive.

Dependent on the load. You of all people should know this having stated
a similar truth in response to my high voltage inquiry.

I apologize. My statement was silly because the load is what determines
the amperage, which you gave a value for. However, I am surprised at
such a large current which would burn many devices.

What I learned at Mount.Bob
---------------------------
- If you draw 36 amps for three hours from a typical truck battery, it will
discharge 1.8V and still be able to start the vehicle without any problem.
- My penchant for having really awful sex at bobs is not my fault, nor the
fault of any of the partners involved.
- In climates where there is extreme temperature variance and high humidity,
it is important to protect one's sleeping bag from condensation.
- There are more good-looking people in talk.bizarre than any other newsgroup
whose parties I have attended.
- After a bit of arrack, anybody becomes good-looking.
- If you push Eastman 7239 motion picture film two stops, the shadows shift
to the red by about 3CC and the D-max comes up a hell of a lot.
- Group hugs can cause physical injury, but only if done correctly.
- You can solder with a propane stove but not a white-gas stove.
- Green chili chile requires an NRC permit.
I just bring this up right now, because I currently have film of Cohen's
butt running on the Moviola as we speak.

Bullshit. There is no U, there is no US, and there is no conspiracy.
There is only separate human beings that act as if they hadn't had the
slightest idea of what's going on. It's a HUGE nuthouse. Nobody will
EVER understand it (except me) because nobody has the MENTAL CAPACITY to
perceive the complexity of it. You, my friend, would need YEARS of math
and science to figure it out. And in the end you will realize that it is
like a huge fractal. It never ends, it just changes. As far as I am
concerned, I HAVE to be separate from you, because I am the OBSERVER of
the game. I leave it to you to fuck the game plan over. I simply DON'T
CARE.
Now FUCK OFF.

This should be amended to:
"it is important to keep other people from pissing into your sleeping
bag if at all possible, perhaps by cutting holes for one's feet and
walking about inside it at all times."

Kids' stuff. One rushes back into it thinking it's a familiar lair and
trips over the minor forgotten traps within.
