But the two most dangerous shocks that I ever received were from plain old 120vac. One of those was from a radio transmitter …
...and could shock the bejeezus out of you when working on those things. Anywhere from 150 to 400 or more volts plate voltage. I was SO happy when solid state came in.
We're overlooking the fact that, as YBB mentions above, "someone may take the job with -3% cut promise that may be impossible to deliver through the FOMC."
