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.

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:

  1. Dead positive
  2. Live positive
  3. Live negative
  4. 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.

This article was amended on 27 July 2024. A part of Trump’s speech that was unintelligible were deleted.

I'm surprised that would leave anything left to talk about.

I assume because it has the "oo" sound. "Loser" looks like it rhymes with "hoser".

"gigibyte" is not a thing, but "gibibyte" is.

If Joe Biden is reelected in 2024 he will be 86 at the end of his second term.

Last week Trump, who is 77, was mentioned in [...]

Curious that the author can't use the same scale to talk about their ages. They're only 3.5 years apart in age, but phrasing it this way makes it feel like a lot more.
