    Why did the chicken cross the road?
    To get from the left to the right!
    He stepped out of rank, got hit by a tank...
    He ain't no chicken no more!
    Keep calm and try setting SCE to AUX.

    And then chicken tenders were born.

    Obviously the Russians made him do it, so Trump could steal the election. And then Chick-fil-A fried him to make fun of homos. Sheesh! What are ya? Thick?

    This is the CORRECT ANSWER^^^^^

    Called Son2 (Journeyman Lineman for a Southeastern Regional Power Company) and he said, "Do you want to bet your life on something NOT being conductive or do you want to live and expect EVERYTHING to possibly be conductive when you are dealing with 350,000 volts and a current of less than 1000 can kill you?" Or he said something like that, I didn't understand some of what he said so I'll paraphrase. The bottom line is, don't mess with electricity if you want to live ....

    I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people today aren't doing anything with 350kv, let alone doing it with paracord.

    Unless the pocos are using 550 instead of aluminum. If they are, I'm sure they're experiencing a hell of a voltage drop.
    Keep calm and try setting SCE to AUX.

    So if you fly a kite with 550 cord over a set of 13,200v wires on a dry day you can be assured you're not going to die ?

    OK, this originally started at 400volts. I upped the ante to 1069. Then we skyrocketed to 350,000. Now we've slammed on the brakes to 13,200. What's next? 7,400? 600? 750,000? 9? I'm not going to play if the goalposts get moved every post.
