As a father, my best vacation is when I can't go on vacation because I have to work and everyone goes without me.
This doesn't work for me because I'm still hungry for about an hour after I eat. I'm full before I'm not hungry, and if I eat until I'm full, that was way too much food.
I have to decide when to stop just based on how much I think I've eaten.
If it boils down to a choice between incomprehensible or "grammatically incorrect", then I would argue that it would be wrong to call it incorrect.
Grammar, especially in English, should be descriptive, not prescriptive. Language is a living and evolving thing.
The correct grammar should be whatever a native speaker would actually say and be understood by other native speakers when trying to communicate an idea.
You got the order right, but "absorb the power surge" sounds off. The motor isn't creating a power surge that the capacitor absorbs. The motor has peak draw at startup and the capacitor is there to provide that power.
I expect that somewhere like the Soviet union may have had a less reliable electric grid, the capacitor was probably needed to start the motor. But now a modern stable grid can provide that power just fine.
That's why I use a shell script to connect to servers instead of just ssh.
The script connects via ssh and then sets a bunch of aliases and then leaves me at a bash prompt.
Servers may be reimaged, so I can't just have things in a .bashrc or whatever.
These kinds of things (see also Hákarl, Icelandic fermented shark) make sense to me in places where food was hard to come by, especially in the winter. It was basically once a choice between eat this half rotten thing or starve to death.
Fast forward to now and something that was once done for survival is now a kind of cultural point of pride.
Yeah, if people think nurses get treated bad, treatment of the other technologists is even worse.
The Ontario government gave pandemic bonuses to nurses, but they completely ignored other techs working in the same room under the same conditions.
Similarly, it's great PR for companies to donate swag during nurses week, but then it's crickets for all the other professionals.
