After 32 years in the electrification industry, I've finally concluded: the receptacle should be installed with ground pin up. Even though this is still a hot debate, after physically testing this multiple times, it makes sense that, because of how humans physically hold the equipment plug, there's a chance that your thumb is positioned on the top while plugging or unplugging. The thumb can often extend past the insulation of the plug, thereby allowing you to potentially touch one of the prongs. If the receptacle is installed ground up, then your thumb could touch the ground pin. Otherwise, your thumb could touch the hot or neutral. For years I argued on receptacle ground pin down because of my (somewhat silly) visualization that if there were water or a flood then the water would hit the ground pin first before the hot. I never really thought that the flooding scenario was a practical case, but it was the only justification that I could think of!
The concept of time has fascinated me for as long as I can remember. Perhaps Ford Prefect was correct in that time is an illusion, like how it once "looked like" the Sun orbited Earth? Maybe our perception of time is simply the experience of entropy's arrow—disorder unfolding. Unraveling in lieu of ticking?
Beetlejuice, likely my favorite movie of all time (the original, not the new one) has a book that's always fascinated me: the Handbook for the Recently Deceased. I've pondered this one since I was a kid and figured, 'how much of a handbook would you really need?' In the movie, there were only a couple things referenced that you actually need a guide for such as how long you spent in the world of the living (125 years I think), how to make an appointment with your afterlife case worker, and how many appointments you get to make. But the book was as thick as The Wealth of Nations! It would be interesting to see what other items would be in the book though. Like, I'm sure the dynamics of the Saturn teleport system and their infamous sand worms are probably covered at great length. Anyways, my use for it is as the perfect journal!
I guess I get it, but absolutely heartbroken that the Model S is going to be discontinued......the only car I ever really liked. Fremont 2013, when I first saw the Model S and saved up 7 years to buy my first one.....
One of my favorite psychological phenomena is of Deja Vu. What's even more fascinating is that it is highly likely to be a brain glitch in which left hemisphere temporal lobe brain signals get mis-synchronized (your brain normally processes experience two times with a few millisecond delay) and therefore gets processed as two different experiences. Even more fascinating is that there is an opposite of Deja Vu called "Jamais Vu", where something routinely familiar is suddenly not recognized. This shows up mostly in words. Ever caught yourself looking at a common word only for it to look like a foreign language? Jamais Vu!
I believe one of the most relevant and misinterpreted movies (happens to also be on my top 3!) is No Country for Old Men. It's only at the end of the movie where it reveals (via the Sheriff's dream) that there really exists 4 fundamental choices that we all have but often don't consciously consider:
1. Do you fight the world? (Llewelyn)
2. Do become the world? (Anton)
3. Do you give up on the world? (Sheriff Bell)
4. Do you bear a light into the world? (only described as Sheriff Bell's dad but never shown)
For anyone who's not watched this one, I would highly recommend. It becomes a much deeper adventure and potentially life changing if you consider the philosophy beneath it. Enjoy if you do!
