Comment on Yet they immediately forgot again
Spot@startrek.website 11 months ago“In a battle or emergency, where the survival of the vessel (or other protected asset) is dependent upon the continued operation of the equipment, it is sometimes wiser to risk equipment damage than have the equipment shut down when it is needed. For example, the electrical drives to elevate and traverse the guns of a combat warship may have “battleshort” fuses, which are simply copper bars of the correct size to fit the fuse holders, as failure to return fire in a combat situation is a greater threat to the ship and crew than damaging or overheating the electrical motors.”
Huh. Learn something all the time.

So sticking a penny in the fuse slot in my car is actually a galaxy brain move.

If it’s not under fire, it’ll be on fire.

Since fire rises(in atmosphere) anything on fire is technically under fire
