If you are refering to me the first thing he said to me was:

"Learn your ****, bro. kthxbai "

That's the correct way I guess?

I'm done with this thread.

Say what you all want.

Go jump the fuse and go play with some AC lines.... Have fun.

not to be picky but you do realize that what you were initially getting upset with me about anyways is exactly what you said in your first post lol.

sorry i'm not trying to start a fight or anything, i don't take the interwebs seriously when it comes to arguments. brings up my stress attacks which aren't good to begin with.

and sorry wasn't trying to get you mad or anything this early in the morning either.

Also, you can still get shocked by 12VDC, and trust me- with as much aperage that's coming out of a car battery- I would MUCH rather be shocked by 110VAC.

When you're working with electricity no matter the voltage/ AC/DC you should always turn the power off and safely discharge the lines.

Not saying this always happens, but it's good practice.
like you're saying, its not the voltage that's the issue, its the amount of current.

no current is something different. voltage not so much but high voltage can still kill you, but you want to be more worried about the amperage. think of amperage like if a donkey lightly kicks you, your gonna feel it but not really be phased. now if a donkey, donkey kicks you and you land on your ass - thats basically higher amperage in a polite way.

if i did that analogy incorrectly i'm sorry

Amp is how wide the pipe, voltage how fast the water.

Much rather be hit by AC since it comes across 0V on its way to either end of the wave you have a better chance of letting go than with DC which will never let you go Ive been hit with 125DC and 120AC. DC hurt much much worse
