Quick power cord question:

Good one. Nobody but me gets the joke. Which makes it even funnier.

@ozzy ,
Like your ears, I would trust my vision. I seriously doubt you’re imagining things. If silver is 5% more conductive and the resulting tubes get somewhat near as much current, you can appreciate it.

On a clear, dark night, a single candle can be seen 48 kilometers away. It’s been done. If one photon attaches to any object, it can be seen.

We all see in a narrow spectrum of about 380 to 700 nanometers. With the removal of my lens from cataract surgery, I can now see down to 300 nanometers due to no more UV filtering. It explains that bluish tint I now sometimes see with and around bright objects. (I thought it was an aftereffect from the Viagra 😄). Even with UV coating on the lens, it’s not enough to inhibit what I now see.

Here’s a great article on the limits of what we can see:

All the best,
