  • I highly recommend going to your local board game shop and looking for logic games, like tile placement games or long-term-planning games. There is one called “railroad ink” that essentially has you roll dice that show different bends/paths to draw, trying to connect locations via rail and roadway. It teaches the basic logical concepts that you’ll build off of to teach programming. After playing a few different games, you can use the concepts learned to describe the tools available to them to build a program. I know a few tile placement games are designed to literally teach the concept of script-building, UI design, and resource management as it relates to programming.

  • I’m no electrician, but my understanding is that the phase of 120v has two opposite polarities, given the way AC power works. By pairing up two powerlines that are out of phase, you’re getting 120v on the positive and 120v on the negative, which doubles the capacity along the parallel line. If you did this with a 110v half-line like the UK has, it increases the Amperage to an unsustainable level, while the US standard does not stress the line in the 240v configuration specifically because neither phase causes the other interference.

    I normally don’t say this, but don’t trust my assessment. Google will be more accurate.















  • Scare them like we scared the last power-mad authoritarians. Publically and painfully parade the suffering of the oppressor, condemn them to death, and then pointedly scan the crowd for any more that want to express their undying loyalty to the fuher.

    Worked for 80yrs last time. Bet if we record a few select billionaires getting drawn and quartered by their own delivery vans and electric vehicles might push it to a century.
