I kinda expected a power resistor in this dummy load, not... this

i can't go to hell - i'm all out of vacation days. i watch space rocks and yell at computers for my day job. probably too old for any of this
i think i might be burned out on internet social. it's hard to keep doing it. it's hard to even maintain the amount of attention i'm already giving it
i am the cause of most of my own problems
furthermore, capitalism must be destroyed

looks like it could have less parasitics than a big ol' wirewound resistor i guess!
i love the "jank but it works" styles of construction you see in amateur radio. the ingenuity is amazing
I feel like that would be dangerous to touch while it's plugged in. Cursed object
oh yeah no this is basically a carbon-composition version of our dummy load, except our dummy load has a pair of printed circuit boards and resistors in parallel instead of the dead-bug style this has
