Velveeta.

Is that supposed to be the strange insult?

Is anyone else bothered that there are two number ones and one number two represented?

I don’t think water hammer would apply because there’s no abrupt cutoff or change in direction of the flow.

Damn, did I touch a nerve?

Neither does “sexy”.

Puncturing the skin has nothing to do with it. Human skin normally has high resistance, the palms and fingertips more so due to their skin being thicker and more likely to be calloused. Saline will always lower that resistance, though possibly not enough to allow for painful shocks across the width of your body from fingertip to fingertip. That’s quite a lot of resistance to overcome. There’s also the matter of the resistance provided by the terminals, but we’ll handwave that.

How often would you try to shock someone’s palms in a torture situation? How often do you expect to see current routed from the left hand all the way over to the right hand? And how likely are you to use just the lead battery terminals? Generally, you’d administer the shock across a shorter span, minimizing the most resistive part of the circuit. Any area with thinner, more sensitive skin is likely to experience thermal discomfort from a high amperage current, especially with lowered resistance. Even at 12V, it wouldn’t exactly be pleasant. The resistance is lowered even further by using thick copper cables, which are much more conductive than the lead terminals.

The picana makes it all so much worse. Ohm’s law tells us that current is equal to voltage divided by resistance. The rheostat in the picana allows the resistance in the circuit to be manipulated further at the turn of a dial. Cranking down the resistance means more current is applied, and that current is flowing through two copper conductors that are typically pretty close together. That means you have even less skin to serve as an insulator against the current, which ultimately results in more pain for the unlucky person being tortured.

That fight between Piper and Keith David was amazing, though.

They said the neighbors, not the police. I figure it means that consensual bondage time was interrupted, so they took matters into their own hands.

Okay, neat. Fire a rifle with the stock held just in front of your floating ribs instead of welded to your shoulder and get back to us.

This is completely ignoring amperage and lowered resistance via saline. An automotive battery with sufficient CCA applied to sweaty or salt-water-doused skin wouldn’t be fun to be on the receiving end of. And if they’re using a picana, which they often are, things are going to be even worse.

Sounds like a case of the crayon-eater calling the mouth-breather stupid…

That card was so good for so much longer than it had any right to be.

Maybe to you, I’ve never seen it though.

I don’t remember any of my playthroughs of either title as a “buggy mess”. Could just be a difference in perception.

I’ve played through various iterations of that game so many times, and I agree that it needs another modernization!

Do you hate my country so much you can’t even say the name when it’s in reference to something else entirely?

(This should not be taken seriously. It is a joke.)

I got a rock.

You mean the Restaurant at the End of the Universe?
