Try to keep it practical (like something that would be fairly doable, you just havent gotten around to it...yet)

There are apps that you can input text into and they can replace the characters in each word incrementally to help learn them. Wanna get into that

Proper sequence of attaching jumper cables.

That one is easy positive, negative, nipple, nipple.

[-] troybot@midwest.social 6 points 4 days ago

Which one is the positive nipple?

[-] olbaidiablo@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

The right one

[-] SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

The one that's red.

Wait... they're both... hmm

Negative negative
Positive positive right?

Sometimes a chassis connection?

The important thing is not to complete the circuit near a battery, since it can cause sparks which can ignite the flammable vapors that batteries tend to emit when discharging. This is especially important near the dead battery, which has potentially been discharging quite a lot recently.

So the usual sequence is:

Dead positive
Live positive
Live negative
Dead ground (to the metal chassis, ideally not right next to the battery)

I usually start by clipping the dead negative cable to something non-conductive to keep it out of the way and then move it to ground as the last step.

Like a hose? What is non conductive?

[-] tuck182@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I wouldn't clip onto a hose, but maybe some plastic flashing or a plastic bracket. Most cars have something near the battery that would work. It's not essential; just can make it a little easier.
