        I absolutely love the the hydraulic analogy, and my advancing age and the 'tism compels me to share a story.

        I was a science major and worked as a tutor through college. Intermediate physics was required for all science degrees, so basic electrical theory consistently came up.

        What I love about the analogy is it’s actually not perfectly analogous, but the differences become obvious once the initial concepts are understood, then those differences help students figure it all out. Its imperfection is actually what makes it perfect, and my nerdy side just loves that kind of stuff.

        The students that argued with me the most about how it was a shit analogy were my favorite because they’d so frequently knock it out of the park come exam time. It was like the academic equivalent of hate fucking.

        The gif is made from a Low Buck Garage video where he’s working on his WW2 era 6x6 truck. The part he’s staring at is the hole where the axle slots through the tire and into the differential.

        This clip is taken shortly after he attempts to put the rear axle back in and he discovers that the gears in the rear most differential are no longer aligned with the hole, he shortly after this clip describes the process for what it takes to get into the rear most differential and it’s an ordeal.

        He does come up with a plan though.

        If you’re into vehicle restoration videos he’s got a great channel. He’s also got a great sense of humor about the stuff he works on and the processes involved.

    This is good, but it would have been nice if the symbols were more consistent. Like Volt gets a lightning bolt on her thigh… Cool. Ohm, while the sexiest in my opinion, gets an Ω on her shirt. So the under boob is great, but it’s really that smile. Finally, Amp. What going on here? Those ruddy cheeks are awesome. The rope is pretty cool too even if it’s not my thing. But where’s her symbol? I don’t particularly want to imagine a scarlet letter A.

    Honestly, the inconsistency was a bit turn off.

    Well… If you made it this far and think I’m missing the point, I hope you now realize I’m just taking the piss.

    Damn I’d gotten a A+ or F+ if I was Electrical Engineering courses. Sex not only sells but also educates at a decent amount of topics.

      I learned trig from a pornstar sitting on a stool with nothing but flash cards and socks on. Yes her clothes were flash cards yes it was a game, yes I was horny enough to ace my trig exams. No I don’t remember the name of the game, I’m sorry.
