However, in a real resistor, resistivity varies with temperature, and current through the resistor produces heat. Therefore, real resistors are in fact nonlinear circuit devices. Technically speaking. In reality, whenever electrical engi

How do we know they didn't construct aeroplanes and fly in the comfort of business class? (I know that we're no supposed to sneer at the community but with so many stupid questions it's hard to restrain myself)

Exactly. Go make a table with 4 legs and also every leg has 4 legs. Now you get recursion and a very steady table. You were a kid in shop class. Now you want your kids to take shop class. Because, recursion.

Next you're going to expect them to use gases that are sourced for human consumption. But this is a gray market. Nitrous isn't meant to be used this way; so a gas supplier won't want to sell the healthier alternative for fe

It sounds like your rapidity was found remarkable. Not everybody has that. Not all mathematicians have that. Perhaps respect was due.

Sure, they pay peanuts, but on an hourly basis. Because what I'm not gonna do is do somebody else's unionized work for free.

That's when I get into the habit of photographing price labels while I put items in my cart, and upon finding a discrepancy, abandoning the entire cart full of goods for an employee to return. Make it costly for the company.
