To be shocked one must be "In the circuit" in some fashion. To be lethally electrocuted your heart must be in the circuit, with current flowing through the heart itself. This challenge doesn't really put you in the circuit unless by chance the penny were to touch the hot spade and your other hand or bare foot was grounded. What would most likely happen is the penny would short the socket and become red hot almost instantly. The circuit breaker would kick in after a moment and stop the flow of current. GFI or other similar breaker might break the flow faster and the penny would not get hot.

About 50 years ago my little sister (a baby at the time) was crawling around on the floor as the adults were sitting at the kitchen table talking. She crawled down a hallway only about 10 feet from the adults and found a metal hair clip on the floor. It was the kind that bends in the middle with a spring action and is either closed or open wiith two prongs sticking out. She found it open, picked it up, and being pretty smart I guess, thought it looked like a plug which she had seen people using. Putting things together she "plugged in" the hair clip on a nearby socket. It behaved exactly as I described above and got red hot in an instant and then blew the breaker. It burned her two fingers she used to handle the clip, but she was not shocked. The finger burns actually cured her of sucking on her two middle fingers (insted of her thumb) since it hurt to do that. Positivie spin on a somewhat startling situation.

I don't listen to podcasts at all, but my wife does and she has recently grown to loathe the Apple Podcast app. She is experiencing all the things it has been criticized for. Additionally, I have noticed that Apple Music seems to have lost the ability to remember what I last played. If I listen in the car to anything - from my library or Apple - the next place I connect it starts playing random stuff including things from my wife's iPhone. This is new behavior that probably started with iOS 15. Even just getting back in the car without connecting to any other devices plays random stuff.

I find it incomprehensible that a company like Apple would take so long to fix bugs and failures that are giving them a lot of bad press. This stupid trick they have come up with to fluff their app ratings is just sad.

This does mean that now someone at Apple could actually say no to him.

Or even, "I don't like this, start over."

That is a big change from recent times.
