Well, shit. My phone are my reply which was quite long. So sorry my second go will be worse.

The EMF requirement is yours not mine. I don't see why an emf of 0 is a problem. Just a special case of complex impedances. But given your requirement capacitors fit.
.
I've also never heard the term "series loop" before, and that only holds for a pair. What would you call it work 3, 4,5 or more capacitors connected how I specified as parallel?

When you say"no it only behaves that way", that's what I was talking about. A paralleled set of capacitors can be plugged in and behaves as one capacitor too am external circuit. Circulating currents or not ate part of that. A parallel R And C behave as a single complex Z externally, and certainly have circulating currents even in the ideal case.

As for describing it with a single capacitor, this is where pedantry falls because it goes all the way down.You can't describe a single real capacitor as an an ideal point lumped element. So one night as well say "good luck describing any real capacitor as a single capacitor". To preclude one and not the other you have to pick a very specific level of approximation to make your definition of parallel.

Though this of course is where the OPs answer comes from. A pair of ideal capacitors connected in parallel is a single capacitor. The ideal model doesn't work for only having the left half of a capacitor charged in isolation. Or alternatively implies infinite currents. But since it's not ideal...

Imagine you have R, C on series with a battery. R charges C too 10V and then C2 is connected in parallel with C. You are I presume on with that. Now let R get very large. At some point, say 10^12 ohms, it becomes indistinguishable from a cut wire. So at what point does it become not parallel?

On to the switches. I have a DC powered device with some input filtering, namely a couple of capacitors in a series loop with the pair of those forming a series loop with the rest of the circuit. Is that how I should describe it when off? I can assure you any EE would look at me like I had sprouted an extra head of I said that when the circuit was off, and parallel when on. It's the same circuit diagram after all!

COA member since 2009.
It's not bad.
Was even President for a while before I decided not to run anymore, because frankly- it's a terrible fucking job.
As you mentioned, some kind of COA is pretty necessary for a condominium. Upkeep of the commons is imperative.

That being said, nobody in a COA or an HOA ever wielded a drop of power that you didn't sign a contract granting them right to wield, as well as wield it if you can get voted into HOA office.
An organization governed by a democratic charter is hard to compare with the government of fucking China.

For the things I participated in democratically to vote for- yes.

For the things I participated in democratically to vote for- yes.

It can seize it to recover what it is owed- for sure. Which is a power I voted to give it, and in some municipalities- have even been stripped from it- and after the transaction is complete- I get the difference.

Are you truly too stupid to see how that's different?

That's not what LLMs are.
There are quantifiable performance metrics by which you can judge an LLM. That's how it's better, or not.

To the woefully ignorant such as yourself, I'm unsurprised it appears so.
I suspect you're bewildering by all kinds of things- like light bulbs, batteries... The list goes on.

There are scam artists in every industry.
At this point of proliferation, it's just sad to see people so desperate try to deny the impact and usage.

I'm with registrations_suck- try making accurate posts.
You seem to be fond of the particular set of words, "pedantic at best".

You keep using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

No, it's accurate. Don't be stupid.

Property taxes in my tax jurisdiction go up and down all the time as they're voted for and voted against.

Incorrect.

LOL- not unless you live in a place with very, very strong renter rights that more or less prevents them from evicting you. Otherwise, there's a literal line of people waiting to take your unit.

I own my property. It's pretty clear you don't.

COA, and yes.

You bet wrong.

Correct. If you want the house, you sign the contract that gives them that power.
Don't do that.

Incorrect.
About 75% of them, which is a lot- but not all.

That was your choice. You signed the fucking contract.

It would be an ok point, but the trouble is just about everything you can say about Harris is about a thousand tribes worse with trump. He's the king of word salads.

Because the Communist dictatorship isn't relevant here.

These folks work for private companies that treat them this way.
In the Soviet Union, you would have literally worked for the Government, and a local Government council would have made the employment decisions.

China is an essentially capitalist market economy operating under a Communist dictatorship for the people.
It's honestly quite close to fascism, not that I expect you to understand the nuance.

Only if you contractually gave them that power.
Don't do that.

Yes.

No, it's not. It's property tax. I can vote every penny of my property tax away.
Try as I might, I'm unlikely to sway my landlord's rent by voting it away.

The interesting thing here, is you seem to think that municipal, local, and State government in the US is like China- where the Government is a distinct entity from the people. It's not.
I voted for my property taxes.

It's just one of those modern-day mysteries, like how farmer-heavy places vote red, and against things like food stamps, while around 13.5% of their yearly earnings come directly from the US Government entitlement programs.

But plot twist- in 2025, all the food crops are owned by Republicans.

Shove your soapbox up your ass.
