Yes, that's right. My job was to run about with a butterfly net and
collect the petrol vapour.

But your words, they lie.
'Cause when we kiss...

You are doing something wrong, then.
Try going to the world where it's living. See, easy.

By that time, the reflective sphere on a checkered plane meme will be
replaced by a render made with a quantum computer of the Schrödinger's
cat in a semi-transparent-polarising box.
"What is the colour of the cat in the box ?" is the input to trigger the
start of the computation. (White, Black, .... )

It was a while ago I did my electronics course, but I was under the
impression a FET worked a bit like a voltage controlled resistor. So
with zero volts on the gate the resistance between drain and source was
effectively infinite (so no current would flow), and as you increase the
gate voltage the resistance went down to almost zero at a high enough
gate voltage (so there would be current flowing, determined by whatever
the output was connected to, but the voltage drop across the transistor
would be near-zero).
For digital circuits you switch between fully on and fully off, whereas
in an analog design (eg audio amplifier) you work in the "inbetween"
region, controlling the output current based on the gate voltage. In
this inbetween region, you have a non-zero voltage drop, and a non-zero
current flow, so this generates heat inside the device according to P=VI.
Feel free to correct me where my understanding :-)

Are you forgetting about the constant heater current? ;-)
