there (like
gold in Ft. Knox?).
Or has our government been lying to us again? Maybe they're out?
Or can they synthesize ohms out of basic elements, and what are those elements?

According to many of my own experiments, resistors are made of a white
smoke and when they are overloaded, the white smoke leaks out and the
resistor doesn't work any more. Not to worry: there is lots of white
smoke in the world: maybe some of you are smoking it right now.
However, I must go: my osculator has stopped working.
