    Silicon carbide computer chips? Do we need uPs with kilovolt logic
    swings?

    Well, North Carolina is an election battleground state.

    Power supplies and amplifiers, yes. When high power-to-volume
    densities are needed, and weight must be minimized, the royal road is
    to higher voltages.

    Lots of military stuff runs at 1000 Vdc (typically +/- 500 Vdc).

    Certainly explains the timing and trumpet rolls.

    Somewhat nauseating to see the Democrats cynically trying to buy support
    in swing states with voters they normally treat like filthy doormats.

    And the example of a Democrat administration treating North Carolina
    like a filthy doormat is?

    US Republicans and Democrats do try to buy votes in marginal
    electorates, and it is habit you see in action in other countries too.

    Australia's equivalent of the Republicans - the right-wing Liberal and
    Country Party Coalition - did it on a large scale in the run-up to the
    most recent election, and the Labor Party - who won that election - were
    happy to published the damning documents, including spread-sheets
    colour-coded by political preference.

    No relation to strumpets.

    Maybe "trumpet fanfares" would be better.

    Samuel Pepys certainly thought so and did plenty of it, back in those long
    gone days when England was merry.

    And syphilitic.

    Cursitor Doom may well have tertiary syphilis - it only affects about 2%
    of those who get infected, and affects a variety of organs. When it goes
    to the brain it causes General Paralysis of the Insane, which occupied
    most of the lunatic asylum beds back then. Watering can scrotum was
    another manifestation.

    There are plenty of others. Henry the Eighth died of one of them.
