In fairness the sort of person who needs a song to remind them why male-male mains leads are an idiotic idea probably isn't going to appreciate Ohm's Law in any sensible capacity.
Has there ever been a more shameless shower of bastards than BP? Talk about choosing the greater evil.
There's a type of power cord
You'll touch the end and see the Lord
And you wouldn't want that current going through ya
While male on male is usually great
You'll find yourself in a sorry state
You'll learn volts jolt but milliamps will kill you
hallelujah etc

God: I'm not sure what you expected really, even before AI we were just hacking everything together in Perl.

Not necessarily true, they're clever birds and can certainly hold grudges.
'Blocked in your country' unfortunately but get what you're on about. The loss of Test Match Special on 198 kHz was actually a mild cultural loss in my opinion, cricket is supposed to arrive on a crackly amplitude-modulated carrier.
Europe has (soon to be had) two AM broadcast bands; medium wave which is more or less the same as North America but it's shorter and has 9 kHz channels, and long wave which goes down really low from 153 to 279 kHz. Long wave is properly antiquated tech, you need genuinely enormous aerials to efficiently put it out but it covers ludicrous distance over ground wave. It used to be used for broadcasting the UK's main radio programme to ships and remote areas, and could get a thousand miles or so out to sea with just one transmitter.
Herring gulls in extreme cases can live into their 30s. There's probably a haggard old gull somewhere which remembers the '90s.
AM is literally on its last legs in the UK, even BBC Radio 4 shut down on it recently. Soon it'll be just Radio Caroline and the odd hobby pirate.
We'll come to regret it I think, the old Radio 4 signal could be picked up all over the country from like three transmitters and received on something as basic as a razor blade and coil of wire. We're so keen to turn the internet into a massive single point of failure, and it'll bite us in the arse with the Russians going about cutting our cables.
Depends where in the world you are I think. In the UK most people have combination water/heating natural gas boilers. Some places are on heating oil if you're out in the sticks (or in Northern Ireland which has a different system) and some modern houses are all-electric heat pump setups. We mostly have no air con which is becoming less tenable with climate change, and water-based radiators so nothing like a furnace in American systems.
