how in the world would a frog catch on fire? I mean whats the voltage on a golf cart 48

a wet slimy frog and full charged

Stick the probes of your multimeter in one and let us know what you get.

You all joke, but, if it weren't for frogs we might not have batteries - thinking of Galvani and Volta in around 1800.

The Frog Battery: A Misstep that Sparked a Revolution

"Galvani, however, misunderstood his own findings. He believed the electricity was coming from the animal itself. In fact, it resulted from the chemical interaction between the metals and the saltwater in the frog’s tissues. Although Galvani did not fully grasp the significance of this, his discovery paved the way for others to explore the nature of electricity in both biological and non-biological systems.[1]

Alessandro Volta, a contemporary of Galvani, was among those inspired by Galvani’s work. Volta correctly interpreted Galvani’s results and realised that the electricity wasn’t generated by the frog but by the two different metals in contact with the frog's tissues, which acted as an electrolyte. This insight led Volta to construct the first actual battery—the voltaic pile—in 1801. While Volta himself misunderstood aspects of his own invention, thinking that the contact between metals alone produced the current, his voltaic pile represented a revolutionary leap in our understanding of electricity. It was the first battery capable of providing a steady current, marking the beginning of the modern age of electricity"

We live in the woods & the dogs are a great alarm, to the point that we can tell what's approaching the cabin. If it's on 2 legs, the volume and intensity of the barking is different.

My cabin is at 7000 feet and a half mile walk from the closest road and my "driveway" where I park. The cameras and motion detectors there pick up people long before the dogs alert. By the time people are on foot heading up the trail the dogs and I are typically already moving down to greet them. I had to build a bridge over a stream to get equipment and vehicles up to build my cabin, once it was finished I tore the bridge out. When a pair of Boerboels do start barking people listen and usally run. It's fun to watch them run back across the stream they so carefully navigated the first time, especially in winter.

There are signs warning of M44 cyanide devices and Boerboels on my fences and my closest neighbor about a 20 minute walk away has pet wolves and wolf/M44 devices warning signs. We do still occasionally get idiots trying to loot assuming the houses up here aren't occupied year around.

I just hand scrub once a month or so the one or two pairs of clothes I have. Less clothes and washed less often = simplicity so no need for a machine.

Why do you wash clothes when they are dirty? Still perfectly functional to keep the body warm.

My general cue to wash is when I start to feel grubby and the smell of myself gets noticeable. Stopped bothering to change underwear even until I start to smell it and the feeling and smell is getting distracting.

My man, I know I've busted your balls before, but this is a cry for help. If you think these are acceptable living conditions, please take advantage of the NHS mental health services and get to the bottom of why. Value yourself more than this, you deserve better.

I had never heard of that breed till now…. Googled it…. Dang that’s a big fur missle

Yeah, they're friggin huge, with their front paws on my shoulders they're taller than me. When I used to live in an area where UPS delivered they sent me a letter citiing "dangerous livestock" as the reason they wouldn't deliver to us.

Dangerous livestock…. That’s funny as can be. If your delivery drivers are not scumbags most fur missles follow their primary programming which is wag and lick…. If your delivery drivers are a scumbags then they have an organic sensing module that weeds out the shit bags
