Fabulous Foo (or ICHM's shopping list)

So, we pop a bit of copper over the live and neutral plug sockets by plugging into the earth and this prevents airborne RFI entering the mains cables via the plug sockets. Only airborne RFI though, not enough, it need more attribute.

They aren’t charging anywhere near enough for this to be taken seriously. For a start it needs Rhodium or Gold plating, preferably with Mpingo inserts and as a minimum, Military Grade copper. Fucking amateurs!

Technically walnut isn’t a true dielectric. Perfect dielectrics affect only ε, the relative permittivity. Walnut will have at least some water in it, so it’ll affect σ, the conductivity, too. And for all I know it’ll have traces of iron as well which, depending on the form it’s in, may change μ, the relative permeability. If you want a true dielectric then Teflon is pretty good. And IR-grade fused silica.

Like audiophools know what a dielectric is.

But it looks nice! Apparently

that what happens when you put your fingers in the socket to test the purity of the lectric

True. My students used to pick it up pretty quickly. But what really bangs it home is when you have to start spending the taxpayers’ money on it. Big bits of fused silica get quite expensive. Until you start looking at big bits of synthetic sapphire. We really only used to trust the stuff from these people https://gtat.com/products/hem-sapphire/. Everything else lit up like the Blackpool illuminations when you shone UV light on it (cue shaking of heads, glum faces and sending the wretched stuff back).

Is that why chips get sapphire backing in fighter jets to give them EMP protection ?

I think it’s more down to sapphire’s general indestructability and decent heat conduction (second only to diamond among the strong crystals ?). Also we’ve worked out how to grow the synthetic stuff in thick lumps, which is harder to do with diamond.

For EMP protection you really want a good conductor - usually achieved by putting the device into some sort of metal can, or maybe metallising the outside of the package.

You’re hired!
It’s taken a while but we’re now of the opinion you are the man for the mind gardens job. Your insight into deathy lasers / EMP’s and other necessities in ‘world correction’ are highly desirable to the new order Lab Yah!. The position offered to you incorporates many bonuses and benefits. You will be part of a dynamic and fun team focused on efficient ways to eviscerate 52% of the population and quite possibly the planet.
Sincerely,
Darth Evo.

Thanks for the offer. Sadly the 20th century was the century of Physics. Now we’re entering the era of Biology and you’ll be no-one if your threats aren’t backed up by a credible arsenal (I’m not looking at you Mikel !) of naughty critters. The future is probably going to be based on a weaponised version of something which is currently crawling around between Stronzetto’s toes …

Christmas has passed and the right thinking man naturally turns his focus to the promise of future pleasures and how they can be fooed.



The two tier sex pond is an admirable endeavor with seating for up to 12 people, and integrated TV - Perma skin pruning and first name terms at the gum clinic await.

Reminds me - do we know who “Iron Sausage” briefly was? I see he vanished pretty fast…

Iron sausage would profit well from not dallying in the sex pond. Rust is real.
