One of our cranes for packing glass will randomly lose vacuum but anytime you call maintenance over it works fine. I told them they just need to set up shop next to it so I can get my job done.

Water molecules are way smaller than any kink in a hose. This works in the same way. A few electrons can leak through, but the kink stops the pressure (voltage) from coming through.

The - charges will still get through but the + charges won't because they have those two little bars on the side and will get stuck.

This is only on a polarized cable where the - charges have been aligned up. Monster sells these polarized cables at Best Buy and you're crazy if you don't have one in your home tv setup.

Monster sells these polarized cables at Best Buy and you're crazy if you don't have one in your home tv setup. That doesn't hold true for a coaxial cable though. Because the electrons have separate paths, you can kink them way past 270 degrees and signal will still get through.

Only for analog signals, though. If it's digital then all the 1s make a huge logjam and nothing can get through. I've been on the wrong side of a few situations like that, and trust me, it's no fun at all.

I'd call him and explain the problem, he'd come down ask me to do what I did again in his German accent and the mother fucker stopped. Even if I was getting constant blue screens trying to do something or administrative errors, just him being in the same room as a computer made it bend to his will. I fear skynet because they will hail him as their overlord.

Some people emit bozons while others absorb it. Your support guy was obviously a solid bozon sink while you were emitting them in his presence he was able to keep the machine working by his presence. You'll find that these support people need to drink heavily to repair the hassle caused in their life by bozon emitters.

Even if I was getting constant blue screens trying to do something or administrative errors, just him being in the same room as a computer made it bend to his will. I genuinely have this effect on computers since at least 15 years. It even tends to make people somewhat angry when it's the 3rd time they call me and are like "I promise you this wasn't working 5 minutes ago" and I'm like "yeah I know, it's because you've been mean to your computer so he's loving with you. Hush now little computer, it's all fine. Daddy's here and he will protect you"

He can fix things just by being there.

SpaceGoatFarts posted:I genuinely have this effect on computers since at least 15 years. I always explain that I gained the power the first time a computer pissed me off enough to throw it out a 3rd story window. Since then computers just know not to gently caress with me anymore, because there is no telling what I will do if I get angry enough. It also seems to keep users pretty mellow with me once I tell the story, so win-win!

As a support guy that fixes things just by showing up and asking them to reproduce the problem, I can confirm that alcohol is required to cleanse the system.
