When I here Lexi’s voice it doesn’t matter what she’s talking about, it’s gonna be great!!! Thank you, The Lexi-kitty!!❤️🌈

Thank god we sorted out the pronoun thing early on in the thread cause theres always arguments about this kinda stuff

Lexi is the only person qualified to narrate this subreddit. No shade towards the other guys, absolutely not - they are awesome and sometimes even MORE than awesome, but it's just something special when you hear Lexi's happy-confused squeal-laughter when she sees something that she both loves and is horrified by at the same time, especially when it comes to tech related stuff.

lexi is the person that makes me know i don’t have to be girly girl and trans and pursue my interests

Normally I say "if it's stupid but it works then it's not stupid" but in the case of that battery clamp made with pliers and a ziptie, DO NOT DO THAT. As a former ASE Cert. Master Mechanic, I can tell you: doing things like that can severely injure or kill you.

[@MikrySoft]

Sure, but what's the worst case scenario here? Poor connection and some heating, at worst some molten insulation. It's the negative terminal, it can't short anywhere and cause a fire. Even if it were to fall off when the car was running it will either a) keep running (and possibly slowly kill all electronics with voltage spikes) b) shut down the car, which is not ideal, but not inherently dangerous. I wouldn't take this contraption on a highway and get it replaced ASAP, but real, imminent risk seems fairly minimal to me.

[@allhonesty848]

@@MikrySoft I know a guy who welded his wedding ring to his finger while attempting something like this with uninsulated pliers on the positive terminal. The pliers touched the ring which touched the car body. His ring had to be cut off and his finger...well...you ever see the video of the hotdog being electrocuted? The sight of it has stuck with me and I feel sorta obligated to at least try to warn people against repeating his mistake. It's not something I ever want to see again.

[@allhonesty848]

If you HAVE to do this and you are safe about it, use round headed vise grips or a good, adjustable hose clamp. Something that will lock on and actually hold the wires in place. Those zip ties will slip off too easily.

[@SilentHallows]

​@@MikrySoft worse case scenario: Violent Death by Electricution, also Electric Burns are not fun, and usually are extreme severe.

​@allhonesty848 I've had an experience with a mild electric shock before, I remember being unable to let go, and it felt like pins and needles through my body. And that was only a low Voltage shock.

[@mallowhoney]

My fiancee is also Trans Woman In STEM and I can't resist sending the Lexi videos her way because it all goes over my lipstick psychology degree head but I love her and I want her to get the chuckle I would have had if I'd done better in sciences.

[@eDoc2020]

At my workplace there's a tape dispenser which used to slide around too much. A previous employee fixed the problem by taping a dead UPS battery to it. One of those dense 12v 7.2Ah bricks, I'm sure Lexi knows exactly the type. Completely coincidentally, my doorstop is the same kind of battery. Before anyone freaks out, these are lead-acid batteries. They don't become "spicy pillows" like lithium-ion batteries sometimes do. And they're totally dead so nothing bad would happen if you short the terminals. Lead-acid batteries can be dangerous if they leak acid but these are sealed AGM ones with completely undamaged cases so the risk is minimal.

[@C0ff33R19hts]

oh.. thank you for information about lead-acid batteries especially AGM ones

[@NickMC512]

When I saw the video title, I instantly hoped that Lexi was in charge of the commentary. Happy to say I was not disappointed!
