Also, if, for example, you do your payments or other sensitive pages in a SPA, you're still running 3rd party scripts on those pages for no reason. Let me know when unloading scripts(&their in mem code) is doable.

Are you legitimately worried about unloading third party libraries into memory on the browser??

Hmm I guess since it's advice to young developers they might make that mistake but any slightly experienced developer knows not to trust anything client side. Not validating data from the client isn't exclusive to isomorphic code.

Hmm okay starting to make more sense now. Do you know a good visual explanation that shows the "path" electricity takes from the transformer to your home and back out to the ground rod. Note: I fully understand in AC the electrons aren't actually moving along this path. But I guess I don't see how the circuit is ever "complete" or a circle.

Yes instinctivly it wasn't making sense as I knew the circuit needs to be "completed". So if that's the case then what is the point of the ground rod that the neutral bar/wires in your breaker box are connected to?

Yes water is a great way to describe electricity in a lot of ways. I'm just struggling with the "returning to where it originates". For instance the electricity didn't originate from the grounding rod it came from the transformer. Earth is providing a very low electrical potential that the electricity is "attracted" to or "falling" to in the reservoir example. Am I wrong in thinking that all electricity is flowing back into earth?

Technically, would it only shock you if your body provided a path to "ground" or lower potential? For example if you were wearing insulted boots and touched the energized piece of metal you would not feel a shock, correct?

From my understanding, if the hot wire (black) were to come in contact with a piece of metal on the fan it would build up electrical charge and or allow for current to pass through the piece of the fan. Then if you were on a ladder fixing the fan and touched that piece of metal you would become a path for electricity to pass through to a lower potential.

Question with myth #1 that "electricity is trying to get to ground". Would that be an accurate statement if you replaced "ground" with a place of lower electrical potential?

Or can you elaborate but the meaning that it's trying to get back to it's source?
