This image and these home made fuses are a joke but seriously a fuse is a wire taken past the point at which it fails to handle the current (Amps) and melts.So get a glass fuse and take a look at the thickness of the wire inside. The rating of that fuse is the maximum it is guaranteed to handle, there is a little headroom. Less current than that won't melt the wire.30amp fuse - RS ComponentsThere is a difference though between handling current briefly, and continuously. Imagine the starter motor cables in your internal combustion/fossil fuel car engine bay. They will handle 200–400 Amps for 3-5 seconds. They will not handle it for 2 minutes.This chart gives you a general idea.Stick to these limits and use quality connections (as poor contacts in cables near their maximum current handling can be high resistance and therefore heat up, becoming localised hot spots with even higher resistance before melting).

I unintentionally made my opponent forfeit a battle in their favor!During college, when I was “experimenting” with various substances, I would often play games while under the influence. One night, I decided to play one of my favorite games, Total War: Shogun 2, and foolishly started a competitive multiplayer match while stoned.Total War: Shogun 2, like other games in the Total War franchise, has players controlling large armies on the battlefield and duking it out in real-time.For multiplayer matches, each player is given a budget to limit how many units they can put in their army. The cost of a unit in the army is dependent on its strength and uniqueness. For example, having a small unit of legendary samurai will cost the same as putting 4–5 regiments of weak peasant infantry in your army.In this match, I had spent about half my budget on expensive cavalry units and special ninja units, because I wanted to experiment with their unique ability to go invisible for short periods of time.However, due to my drug-addled brain, I prematurely pressed the “commit” button, which signals the game to lock in my unit choices. So I had to fight my opponent with an army worth half the allotted value, almost guaranteeing my defeat. Instead of forfeiting, for some reason I decided to continue the match.When a battle starts in Total War, units that are out of the opponents line-of-sight or are hidden in forests do not appear on the map. Players are only aware of the positions of their own units and those of the enemy that has been discovered. This is to simulate how armies in real-life would use the terrain to disguise their forces.With most of my ninja units hidden in the forests, I only had my cavalry regiments sitting on a hill, well in view of my opponent. They marched their entire army to my cavalry, but probably due to the fact that they thought I was springing a trap, cautiously only sent a few units to deal with my cavalry. Since my cavalry was on a hill, I got a huge damage bonus for charging into their units and crushed the initial scouting force he sent.Little did he know, I had no grand plan to deal with the rest of his gigantic force and didn’t know how much longer my sword cavalry could hold out.After some time, waiting for me to spring this theoretical trap he thought I had planned, I had whittled away almost 1/3 of his army constantly harassing his troops with my horsemen. However, most of my sword cavalry were now dead and I was contemplating surrender as I knew my small ninja force would not be able to defeat the rest of his army.And then, as if to make me feel like Sun Tzu himself, he typed “GG, I don’t think I have a chance against the rest of your army”.For a second, I contemplated being a good person and telling him the truth about my lack of a “rest of your army” to defeat him. But….. winning battles lets you unlock cool armor for your general and there’s no way in hell I’m passing up on a chance for cool looking armor!So I replied, in an understanding manner, “Yeah, I didn’t think my cavalry was going to do so much damage!”.He bought my BS and forfeited the match.To all you Total War players out there, you don’t need The Art of War to win, just be an asshole.

This question reminds me of an old story…Once upon a time, in a small town just off a small highway, sat an old man on his rocking chair, on the front porch of the general store.Eventually, a car pulled up, loaded with a family and most of their possessions. The car came to a stop, and the driver got out and walked up to the porch where the old man was sitting.“Hello!”, The old man greeted them, “what can I do for ya?”. The driver replied, “We are in the process of moving, can you tell us about this town?”“Sure can,” said the old man, “but tell me about where you come from, what was it like?”The driver replied, “Horrible. Stinkin’ place, full of miserable people, can’t trust any of them, unfriendly and mean!”“Well, I’m sorry to hear that,” said the old man. “This town is exactly the same, you’ll find it maybe worse than what you left, better keep looking.”Disgusted, the man got back in his car and peeled out down the highway. The old man just nodded sadly, and continued his lonely vigil of watching the road. Another couple of hours go by and yet another car pulled up, with another family on the move. “Hello there!” The old man greeted the driver, as he disembarked and walked up, “what can I do for ya?””Well, mister, as you can see, we are moving. We needed to find a new home closer to my new job, and wanted to know a little more about this town.”The old man replied, “I can tell you all about this town, but first, tell me about your old town, what kind of place was it?”The man replied, “Wonderful place, full of the best neighbors you’d ever meet, everyone looked out for each other, nicest place to live and we are very heartbroken we had to leave.”The old man smiled and said “Well sir, I can tell you, this town is exactly like that. Greatest place to live, I guarantee you’ll love it here, it’s just like you describe!”In other words: We bring our reality and outcomes with us.And the old man knew it.
