Was the positive meter lead inserted into the correct port on the multimeter? Are you sure the fuse in the multimeter isn't blown? You can remove it and test its continuity with the resistance setting.

To all of the off-topic intelligentsia: My best wishes for a peaceful, happy and prosperous 2017.



Cheers!

There are times that I passionately hate getting up early enough to hit the gym before work, but I make myself do it because I know I need to and I'm trying to be disciplined instead of motivated. And it's paying off.

We have a "gym" at work but its so... unmotivating. That's why I wouldn't mind paying for a membership so I can get motivated by like-minded people.

And there I disagree. Motivation will get you started, but eventually it will fail, because it always does. Discipline will keep you going.

I disagree. Discipline becomes your motivation

Literally 99% diet then. You can not work out at all but if you have low body fat you will see abs

Oh, potato - potahto. The gym isn't fun. Any continued behavior that doesn't provide immediate gratification requires discipline.

I find working out to be very enjoyable or "fun". But that's me

I used to get great reward from jogging but I wouldn't say I ever enjoyed it.

I get what you're saying, though.
