@Polfusilier The device in the bottom right is a mercury arc rectifier. It's used to convert high voltage AC to DC to power large electric motors. They have almost entirely been replaced by semiconductors/MOSFETs these days.
@Diogenese_Shiplap Gas arc rectifiers are beautiful pieces of heavy industry and are mesmerizing to watch operate. It may be a rabbit hole you'd be interested in.

@William_The_Dragonborn Who dies from testicular cancer? It's mortality rate is so low, Wikipedia doesn't even have it on the list of cancers people die from. Just cut your balls off since you want to be a troon so badly. Troons are absolutely pathetic.

@Dski haha, although slave labor, especially black slave labor, is not efficient at all. Things are done better quicker paying non black middle school kids part time.
@Diogenese_Shiplap They also really hate it if you have a full propane pig in the backyard.

@j Ebay probably has some. Don't know if they're made anymore. If you're desperate, you can wire a bunch of CAT5e together.
@Dan_Ramos Nicotine and hatred, mostly.
