Another reminder that France, Spain, and Italy forced the Bolivian president’s plane to land in Austria because they thought Snowden was on it.

Reminds me of Reagan, actually. That was more or less the response he and Bush gave back when a US ship shot down an Iranian airliner.

Yeah, but shunts are “added” in parallel, daisy chaining cords adds them in series.

On the contrary, practically every single person in this thread that mentions resistance is talking precisely backwards. Higher resistance will not cause overheating. Except for certain motor loads, it will cause malfunction due to voltage drop. The actual fire hazard is the increased chance of faulty cable, faulty connection, and, inevitably, overloading.

What are you talking about? Current absolutely changes! Your own formula requires I=V/R

It does that because the thin filament has high resistance;

Other way around. Low resistance - high power.
