Models and Analogies For Teaching Electricity

What is actually going on inside a circuit? It’s impossible to see, and to explain it properly uses concepts way above primary school level. So how can we explain it? Time for a model! Electricity is an abstract idea.  We can see its effect on something like a light bulb, but it is very hard to understand what is happening inside a circuit. To help understand what is going on, we need to use…

the struggle at work right now is that my boss is unfortunately not well and there's no one else day to day who can handle certain things like any task that requires heavy machinery or any of our potential weekly crises. the first big planting week is in just one week and valentines plants are getting here and I'm vibrating.

which, actually, in a follow up thought related to elder scrolls no one asked for or cares about but that i want to put a pin in to explore later for me: scratch the devotee of arkay thing, who cares about arkay, fuck arkay. like it's kind of hard to deny the aedra and daedra since they, you know, physically exist and do have an effect on the world (which, fair, when you get into the lorkhan of it all the aedra are mostly cut off and the daedra aren't but that is neither here nor there for the purposes of this thinky thought). like you pray at a shrine sometimes you get an answer, sometimes people literally mantle (become) the gods, it's a whole ass thing.

but emmrich being emmrich probably has a very dwemer-esque mindset about all of that in that, sure, they're real, true facts things. powerful, yeah, but maybe not worthy of a whole ass religion that was a compromise to marry nordic animism and the elven pantheon after the slave rebellion and trashing of the ayleid empire, right.

no, arkay has fuck all to do with whatever he's got going on, but what does effect him is the banning of the practice of necromancy from the arcane university (and the college of winterhold at a much later date). sure, you say elder scrolls necromancy and think mannimarco, i'm sure, but there have been necromancers that aren't actually terrible, awful people who use their knowledge of it to do horrible things, and he'd follow a path more in line with the recommendations of on necromancy and the order of the hidden moon, encouraging the dead to move on instead of what the majority of necromancers are doing which is keeping souls tethered instead.

I like to think that when the batfamily inevitably runs out of money and jobless Bruce, Tim, and Dick* find themselves in financial need, Steph reveals that she's made thousands of dollars taking odd jobs around Gotham City that we just never saw bc Steph hasn't been in a comic for months. Nobody checked in on her and while they weren't looking she made 6 grand babysitting and playing piano at a local theatre. Bruce has to grovel for enough money to buff out a scratch on the batmobile and Steph is revelling in it. This is the closest she's ever going to get to being a supervillain

*(Cass and Jason don't need money to survive on account of being homeless as kids + Babs funds Cass' basic needs and Damian is on his mom's payroll, same w/ duke even if it's obvs not al ghul money)

What is the difference between a resistive and an inductive load? Well, if my apartment lights flicker when it kicks on, it's inductive.

I don't want to grow up I'm having teacher stress-dreams now instead of student stress-dreams. what kind of boring bullshit is "forgot I had another course and never set up the canvas page" let's go back to the one last week where I got shot and felt real pain while slowly bleeding out in a bathtub

so apparently my roommate straightup Did Not Know that leaving your food out on the countertop for several hours can give you food poisoning. i thought when she brushed me off every time i told her to put her food away she was simply throwing caution to the wind. "ohhh, is that why i get sick so often?" FUCKING PROBABLY!!!
