    I got shocked the other day stepping on live wires… I now have a degree in Electrical Engineering. (Actually Not: My experience is not the same as expertise)

      they didn’t say they were wrong, just an asshole.

      it’s like someone died to a live wire and you correct their family that it was the amps not the voltage that killed them. you’re not wrong, but you’re a tone deaf dickhead.

        While I agree, there’s also a risk in letting the hypothetical family cause alarm about something false around electricity or whatever (misinformation).
