Kudos on finding the positive side in current events.

Yeah the discourse is usually so charged.

We may begin to heal from all the hertz we've received...

Fun fact: when they were still figuring out electricity they didn't have a proper understanding of electrons so they wrote all electric diagrams with the assumption that something was going from the positive side to the negative side. We've known that electrons have a negative charge and move from negative to positive for quite a while now but conventional electrical diagrams are still backwards to the flow of the electrons to this day.

It's funny to think that all electrical components, including diodes are engineered in a way where wiring them up the "wrong way" according to human intuition but correctly according to the schematics, makes the whole thing work. Then we decided to throw negative DC voltages or AC into the mix to make things even more confusing, which essentially just shift the reference point for what we would usually consider as "ground" in a circuit. All of this just to make the math work out in the end, and I think that's pretty neat.

Pretty sure it's a photo of a negative post.
