Not to be negative

Post by Reeltarded »

I am not a mathhead or anything but when we talk about raising negative voltages let's agree that is making the number larger not decreasing the negative towards zero.

Fer'n'stance. My negative is -18. I am going to double it. POW! -36.

Now I will decrease my negative voltage by 10. BOOM!! -26.

Cause its driving me crazy

Ok, now I am going to wire the grids of my output tubes directly to the junction of the plate supply and turn my variac to 140 before flipping the switch. Here goes.

Yes, agreed ........ increasing negative voltage means making it MORE negative (moving towards zero would be LESS negative). Absolutely!

Yes, I agree, but others may not and the miscommunication will continue...nice try though. It's the absolute value that is increasing or decreasing. Cause if making it more negative meant decreasing the voltage, then how come the likelihood of being electrocuted increases? How's that for more confusion? :P

If I squint real hard and grunt until my ears pop I see a unicorn king wearing a robe of diamonds standing on a rainbow made of whale fur... but the amazing thing is I can see two new colors. One I will call murple so we also gain a rhyme. I am thinking the other one is gorange.

If you turn the use of this concept into a mathmatical formulee.. 2 birds with one stone twice with a single concept and one pressure induced unicorn king in a diamond robe with a whale fur rainbow. Solve for X.

I am getting -38.

This logic reminds me of a scene from Monty Python "So, if she ways the same as a duck, she's a witch?"

The scale is one foot per inch so it's really easy to see.

In inches or feet? Oh God..

A meter in inches (meterinches) would be like over 12 meters in feet (feetmeters) This is exactly what I am saying!! We are going to crash another probe into Mars sideways at 36 kilometers per second.. that's kilometers in inches.. not feet, just so ya know.
