America would obviously choose Guile, not Ken. It would be Guile vs. Zangief, no question.

.@Microsoft Bing Image Creator is Republican. It will render Hillary in prison but not Trump in prison. The latter is a content policy violation that will get your account suspended.
However, it WILL render 'potus 45 prison'

I just asked Siri, "Surely it's not going to rain today?"
She said "It will, and don't call me Shirley."
...Forgot to take my phone off Airplane mode.

protester at Trans Day of Resistance March in Boston Massachusetts honoring Eden Knight (c. 2000 – c. March 12, 2023) was a 23-year-old Saudi Arabian trans woman living in the United States who died by suicide on or around March 12, 2023.
According to her suicide note, which she posted on Twitter, Knight had been coerced into returning to her family in Saudi Arabia, who forced her to detransition.

These take 3xAAA and last about 70-90 hours. I stash them all over the house for outages.
My God! The greenery!
Negative numbers.

I may be, but I've been bitten by making assumptions on how power was delivered. It also sounded like a test questions so I had to put, "I don't know." as the trueful answer.
Maybe in TTL Cookbook world, but in telecom ground is positive to the -48VDC hot lead. Way back in the 1950s there were cars that were positively grounded and the hot lead was at -6VCD (on a good day.) Even honorable old RS-232 is bipolar in relationship to ground.
Ground needs to be defined if it's going to be used as a power rail. Ground's foremost reason to exist if for protection and noise control. Improper use of ground leads to disasters like a hot chassis.
@realTuckFrumper Read? I remember it!
Again, is it a positive or negative ground system?
