The same person that posts this will post “no is a complete sentence” and “I don’t have enough spoons today, sorry“

Which is a totally valid…what would you call that? An excuse?

Sometimes excuses are legit. I can’t really get behind this as “motivation.” What is it motivating me to do anyway? End friendships? Not help others?

Depending on context. In an AC mains power application the earth wire directly ties to a stake that's in the earth outside. This provides a safe return path for faulty circuit conditions.

Ground is a broad term in DC applications where it is the main negative' plane or hookup. However you can have ground in an AC application where it usually is the neutral return.

Generally green in mains power (Australia/NZ and I believe EU) is always the earth.

> In the home electrical stuff I’ve done I’ve mostly heard ground. The earth ground is a specific wire run from the main circuit breaker panel that’s then attached to a grounding rod.

That's the angle I'm coming from. In Australia if it's green and it's in an AC application it's going to earth. It's a standard I believe in the EU as well as a couple of other areas.

Ground in AC can exist but will be floated within the device as a neutral return. It's more the wiring colour standard I was picking.

I know in Australia the term is often used interchangeably, even if it's wrong. Interesting that there's other areas of the world that the language dictates it being identical.

That’s a question I think about a lot

Dedicating your life to doing good is a switch that usually flips later in life. I wonder if it’s because later in life we’re more financially secure or we’re wise enough to realize that that’s what matters

Either way this has me thinking right now!

Thanks for sharing 🙌

Take out all evil from the lowest depths of the street to the mainstream crooks and everything in between. Is there really anything else worthy to put your life towards? Otherwise I would just be living for material greed and power like the evil.

They made us this way and now they're scared of us. They took our innocence and hope for humanity to promote their small spectrum of life so that we don't feel whole. They took our trust in God and religions, medicines, and community, they took our honor in nationalism, now it's time for the meek to take from them, everything, completely.

We will act like the military, cartel, and mafia, and then when the jobs done well take our selves out and give the world back to the universe to live free without the human illness. /S

Other than that... Get pregnant. /Not /s
