@pearshapes What are you trying to measure?
@pearshapes if you want any advice or information about electronics, feel free to ask! We're happy to help.
@pearshapes The heat dissipated is equal to I²R, where I is the current through the resistor and R is its resistance. In terms of voltage, this works out to be V²/R.
@pearshapes In that form factor, resistors are going to be colored either tan or blue, with blue being more common for higher-precision metal-film resistors. Green and teal are common for inductors, though inductors in that shape are rare compared to other packaging options.
@pearshapes That's probably either a fuse or an inductor.
@pearshapes It's not easily calculated, it has to be measured. Most manufacturers will probably give information about it in their datasheets.
@pearshapes It depends on your battery's internal resistance.
@ashiinu@snouts.online this is adorable!
A few centuries probably isn't enough time for a language's grammar to change this drastically, so let's just pretend I said millennia instead of centuries there.
Over time, the grammatical structure of the languages may change. Consider the possibility that both populations' grammar diverges in very different directions. Now, you're left with two distinct languages, both with all the same words and the same (or mostly the same) meanings of those words, but the syntax, sentence structure, and grammatical rules are very different.
What would such a pair of languages be like? How intelligible would one be to a native speaker of the other?
Let's say that for one reason or another, the lexicon of this language is very fixed, but the grammatical structure is not. Perhaps they have a very well-standardized orthography but very few style guides and grammar books. The influence of the small-but-nonzero amount of contact with the other group would help to keep them similar as well.
Now let the two populations evolve their language over a long period of time, a few centuries or so. (continued)
A worldbuilding thought:
Consider a region where one particular language is the first language of a vast majority of the inhabitants. Now say something happens (anything from political events to social stratification to some cataclysmic geographical change) and two sets of speakers of this language are mostly, but not completely, isolated from one another. (continued)
@monorail Cody's Lab is good for that. It helps that he's so obviously genuine about it.
@SpaceForDogs@todon.nl I would never consider two things that differ only in vowel length not to rhyme, personally, by either the technical or colloquial definition.
@SpaceForDogs@todon.nl I haven't done any actual analysis with recordings or anything, but there is no noticeable difference in length in our dialect either. I'm guessing the (in)famous southern drawl leads to lengthening the vowel of my to where it approximately matches that of hi. You're right, though, they do have different length in General American, but vowel length is non-phonemic in English so they are still considered to rhyme.
@SpaceForDogs@todon.nl @ConfusedImp In our dialect (a mix of Southern and Midwestern American English), both hi and my, and fight and mine, have the same vowel sound, something close to /ai/.
@knightly We might have to ask you if we end up missing any.

@Nine Don't worry about the voltorb one. There's an electric-type gym leader named Wattson!

@Nine Freya sounds like a good name for a dragonair, but I couldn't place why either.
@ConfusedImp This is also why words like wishy-washy, flim-flam, mish-mash, and phrases like "fi fie foe fum" are in that order.
