Electricity


[545] Master Lock No. 3 vs. 900 Amps!
LockPickingLawyer

I have seen several of the videos from the Lock Picking Lawyer and usually he demonstrates how easy it is pick a mechanical lock using basic lock picking tools, but on this occasion he uses brute force, in this case a couple of kilowatts of electricity.


Then I came across this cartoon from 1900 the purports to show just how dangerous this new fangled electricity thing can be.

Last night we are watching Black Money Love (a Turkish soap opera) and the detectives are sitting around the dinner table, an electrical problem gets mentioned and one cop says to another 'you don't even know how to change a light bulb'. Not too long I wouldn't have been able to conceive of such a thing, but I have come to realize that people's skills very widely and there certainly are people who are completely baffled by something as simple as changing a light bulb. Some people just don't do well with things.
