If you lost money in the market you should have been smart enough to do something and plan ahead. Crying like a thin skinned ***** isn't a plan.

I'm curious how your typical investor lost any money. The market has recovered al its loses, in less than month. I'm sure some day traders and maybe hedge funds got hammered, but regular everyday folk should br fine. The lefties must have made out like bandits since they predicted this from the beginning.

When the investors panic they sell. Once its sold... that's that.

All factually true. May not be the best ideas but they are true.

Water is a bad conductor of electricity? Hmmmm...
Can you prove it with the toaster idea?

Very good. let us all guess... that is the only time out of literally THOUSANDS of back and forths.

You post this, and then I proved it.

Are you upset that you thought you "got me", and got shut down yet again?
Don't ask questions you don't want the answers to.

Then how did they teach you anything... you lying again Rob?

Did I say they dies during my birth, or before I was self-aware?
Maybe you don't know that parents can teach kids stuff? Did yours simply not bother?

Site your source that says it is not a bridge or to be more accurate an electrical bridge.

You want a source that lists all things that are not a bridge?
Sure. Here you go. Just ignore the words that are not "bridge" or synonyms thereof.

In the meantime, show me a proof that in electronics, two wires twisted together are known as "bridged".
In the past, you thought you were teaching us all that a "bridge" in electronics was a third thing connecting two other. Are you now disputing the proofs YOU shared, that show you are wrong?

And I'll ask you this: What makes you think you are an expert on the meaning of "bridge" with regard to electronics, when you didn't even know that you cannot bridge a mono amplifier?

You had no clue that you can't bridge a mono amp.

Yet you later claim a mono amp CAN be bridged. Pure genius.

Would you like to see one of my retirement account statements?

"Recovery" in trading means "losses". Look at it this way; Invest $100 at a 10%/month growth rate.
At the end of the year, you have about $313.00

Now, lets say the market tanked in month 6, then went back to normal in month 7. At the end of the year, you have $259.37. You've lost 17+% of what should be your final number.
Big deal, what's $55 dollars?

Talk a real retirement account and turn that $100 into into a million. You lost $285,000.
Now let's talk TRILLIONS.
Guess what, the losses only get bigger. MUCH bigger.
So yeah, Trump tanking the market costs a lot of people a LOT of real money.

Sure, the market can fall naturally. A forest fire can also happen naturally.
Does that mean we go out and set a forest ablaze just because we can, since it will "eventually recover"?

How many people saw their retirement accounts plummet right before they cashed out? How many saw them plummet as they were set to retire the following month?
Sorry, no mutual fund, 401k, 403b, IRA, etc, simply adds money back into your account if the market recovers. That's not how it works.

Nowhere in that AI generated response does it claim water is a bad conductor of electricity. Nor did I claim that.

Don't ask questions you don't want the answers to.

Not at all. If you think you have only been wrong 1 time on this site you are delusional. You're wrong about verbatim, water being electrically conductive, electronic bridges (bridge), mono amps having multiple outputs... the list goes on.

Did I say they dies during my birth, or before I was self-aware?
Maybe you don't know that parents can teach kids stuff? Did yours simply not bother?

My upbringing was just fine. Normal for a poor kid who's parents both worked.

Oh here you go, being a smart ***. Show me the definition that says two wires twisted together is not an electrical bridge.

In the meantime, show me a proof that in electronics, two wires twisted together are known as "bridged".
In the past, you thought you were teaching us all that a "bridge" in electronics was a third thing connecting two other. Are you now disputing the proofs YOU shared, that show you are wrong?

I know your brain hurts. Twist the two wires together. They are now bridged. Solder the connection, it is now secure. Cover it with electrical tape or heat shrink, it is now protected. How dumb are you actually?

OMG!!!!! Nobody cares how you want to explain why you cry that Trump is the President. Stop going on and on. Like you said... do it in 4 words then piss off.

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

Seems to me Trump is getting shit done. If the left would just stop being so bullheaded and get behind the President things could progress quicker.

Nowhere in that AI generated response does it claim water is a bad conductor of electricity. Nor did I claim that.

As always, your comprehension is quite poor.
Or, was it that silly frog in your pocket that posted the response of "All factually true."?

Not at all. If you think you have only been wrong 1 time on this site you are delusional. You're wrong about verbatim, water being electrically conductive, electronic bridges (bridge), mono amps having multiple outputs... the list goes on.

Hmmm, where did I say I've only admitted to ever being wrong ONCE?
You asked me to prove that I admitted being wrong.
I did so.
You are upset that I provided the proof, so now you want to change your story?
Man, you must take the other member so this site for being total idiots who can't see you making a fool of yourself over and over again.

My upbringing was just fine. Normal for a poor kid who's parents both worked.

But they never taught you anything, since you think parents can't teach kids things.
"Poor kid" who got an Atari 2600 when it came out. Equivalent cost today: $1000. For the console.

Oh here you go, being a smart ***. Show me the definition that says two wires twisted together is not an electrical bridge.

I did. I gave you a link to an entire dictionary full of them.

Instead of asking me to prove a negative, show me anywhere in electrical theory where two wires twisted together are considered to be "bridged".
Or maybe two circuit board traces that meet. or maybe a lead from one capacitor and a wire, or maybe two legs of an op amp.

I know your brain hurts. Twist the two wires together. They are now bridged. Solder the connection, it is now secure. Cover it with electrical tape or heat shrink, it is now protected. How dumb are you actually?

Great. Show me anywhere in electrical theory where two wires twisted together are considered to be "bridged". Any textbook or citable reference will do.
Sorry, but "trust me bro" is not a valid reference.

Well dipshit. Nobody is claiming you can bridge a single mono amp. Which is yet another meaning, another use for the word. "'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings." - Led Zeppelin

You asked about a very specific mono amp from Rockford Fosgate. You wanted to know how to bridge it.
You wanted to know which terminals would be connected, or not.

Why would you ask about bridging an already-mono amp, if you are so well-versed in circuitry and terminology?
Did you think the engineers at Rockford had no idea what they were doing, and you were going to unleash some magical properties from your already-mono amplifier?
Explain your quest.

Good job comprehending it is a sarcastic question.

Lemme guess: Also a sarcastic question?

Yup, I gave you proof and you denied it because you think you know better than the manufacturer of their product.

You proved that an already-mono amp can be bridged?
I'll call bullshit on that one. So, go ahead and share the "proof" that you offered that an already-mono amp can be bridged.

Yet another proof you offered to explain a bridge.
A picture of a THIRD wire that will be used to connect two others. You specifically say "they are using wires":

It doesn't matter how they do it as long as the electrons can pass from one point to the other previously unreachable point, it has been ******* bridged. Who cares if YOU can't handle that.

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

@RobGMN Do you know what this is? It's a bonding BRIDGE. It connects wires together. By BRIDGING them. They are using a device to accomplish this because it is cleaner and safer. You could also TWIST THE DAMN WIRES TOGETHER TO CONNECT THEM. Effectively BRIDGING THE WIRES. Just because your vocabulary is limited doesn't mean you get to tell the rest of the world they are wrong when their vocabulary is larger than yours secretary man.

You said the "poor conductivity" of water was "factually true".
And then you denied you said it. Make up your mind.

Nope. You asked for proof, you got proof.
Not my problem that you failed in your "gotcha" attempt.

You provided 1 example... that is not proof. Your own example is biting you in the ***.

I provided proof.
Deny it all you want, but it's on the site for posterity.

No. No exception. I can't trust you, bro.

Mmm hmm. Like the "sarcastic quostion" about injecting disinfectants in the body or putting UV light in the body to fight COVID?
Yeah, no.

Clean your glasses dummy. This has been covered.

Covered? So someone explained that you can't bridge an already-mono amp, and you then claimed you CAN?
THAT kind of "covered"?
Cool. Show me how to bridge that mono Rockford amp to get more power.

It doesn't matter how they do it as long as the electrons can pass from one point to the other previously unreachable point, it has been ******* bridged. Who cares if YOU can't handle that.

LOL. You'll say anthting to not admit you fucked up.
"Build a bridge". How? By pulling the two land masses together?

The strictest definition:

A separate physical thing. Not stretching the road over the gap. Not filling the river with dirt to creat a single land mass. Not twisting the train tracks together. ADDING A NEW THING BETWEEN THE TWO SEPARATED THINGS.

Now please, show us where in electrical theory/desing/etc, that it says twisting two wires together is "bridging those wires.
For extra credit, show us where filling in a river with dirt is making a "bridge" over the river.

Not "effectively bridging" the wires. LITERALLY bridging the wires.
THE WIRES DO NOT TOUCH EACH OTHER. The metal block is the BRIDGE. A separate thing that connects two others.
In fact, YOU called it a "Bonding BRIDGE".

Thank you for proving what I have been saying all along, and what you have been denying.

OK. Now I'll wait for you to try and weasel out of the fact that you literally just "proved" your point by showing a THIRD object being used to facilitate the flow of electrons across two separate objects.

Will you claim it was "sarcasm"?
Will you claim the wires are touching each other?
Will you claim the wires are twisted together? Spliced? Soldered?
Will you claim the metal object is not actually a bonding BRIDGE?

This oughta be good.
