Sureley thats against any jurisdictions code in this day and age. :-?

** No way - that is very dangerous for the operator.It is generally beter to float the scope (no AC mains Gnd).
** Absolute bullshit.If you want to test mains voltage with your scope if the probe is
referenced to mains Gnd - good by probe!!!

"Better?" Isn't Australia where they sent all the criminals that they
didn't wind up hanging? Where they have foot-wide spiders that want to
kill you? And where God put together things from spare parts left over,
and wound up with the platypus?? I mean, they named a whole *town* after
Darwin...
Sure, we Yanks have our problems, but we're not doing so badly for a
primitive country. There is every hope that we might have civilization
here eventually.
All true. Still, I refer you to this authoritative article:We only had to take convicts after you lot could not handle the job. lol
then we advanced quickly.
No death penalty, Metric measure like the better part of the world, a
debt to GDP ratio far and away better than most.

Anyway, Australia is one of the very few places I wouldn't mind living.
All those other places have too many foreigners.
That is extremely dangerous advice.It is generally beter to float the scope (no AC mains Gnd). If you want to

good by probe!!!
