    What do you mean by “stable”? DC just means it has a direction. Flow and Voltage can be changing. For example Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is often used to control DC devices by rapidly providing and cutting electricity from them. Still the current just has one direction.





  • Yes, it is intentional. And the “never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence” trope is clearly wrong in the context of politicians.

    When they do these things they know what they are doing and who they are doing it for. Imagine an engineer would have designed 10 generations of exploding phones. Would you say it is just incompetence after the third one? So why give politicians the slack to always be “incompetent” in the same way over and over again that just so happens to defend the interests of the oligarchy against the normal people?


  • Know where to pitch a tent.

    If you are close to a stream, pitch the tent a few meters above the water. If it rains you don’t know how quickly it can rise.

    In the same wake, if you are pitching on a plain, pitch your tent on a relative rise. If you pitch in a relative depression rain will drench you.

    If you pitch on a slope, and there will usually be slight slopes, pitch your tent so, that your head is facing upwards when sleeping.

    If a storm is expected you might be inclined to pitch under a tree, but be careful. If a branch breaks off and hits you, that can be very bad.

    If you pitch your tent in the open and it is a hot summer, the inside will get very hot very quickly. Make sure to get up and out early, don’t get wasted at night and bring reflective covering. People died at festivals when they stayed in their tents when getting wasted and then getting roasted in their tents.

    Did it improve? Yes. Did it improve more than the general improvement through advances in technology, medicine etc.? That is at least questionable.

    If we look further at unethical experiments done on primarily black communities or prison inmates, again primarily black, such as testing biological warfare agents and pharmaceutics on them, regular lynching and other acts of deadly violence, the whole forced labour in the prison system… It becomes clear, that the government still very much considered the former slaves and their descendants as property, they could largely do with as they pleased.

    But you can’t leave the property because you cannot afford rent anywhere else. You can’t get a different job, because there is no different job available in the area. You can’t get a better education because you cannot pay for it or even if it is free you cannot pay for your survival without the full time job, or multiple part time jobs. You get abused by the police or now also the ICE. You can’t afford to marry anyways…

    Of course from the formal rights it is a huge difference, however from the practical result, modern wage work for working class people creates similarly unfree conditions. And it is no surprise that the ardent Neoliberals want to go further and establish slavery, by allowing contracts where people sell themselves “voluntarily” into permanent ownership of somebody else. This is the ultimate freedom according to these kind of Capitalists and they work to create such a society.
