Does resistance begin at Ohm?

No, at 0 Ohm.
If it says "oom", you should run.

What an electrifying thought!

I managed to inadvertently destroy one of my Pis yesterday because of the manufacturer's poor choice of using micro USB for power (the pi appears to boot, but the ethernet port no longer works at all) .
I ordered a replacement, and this morning I decided to see what's available with regards to an appropriate 90-degree adapter. I'd really rather just buy one locally, but it's impossible to tell (by looking at the web sites) if any of the local stores actually has such a thing in stock. Of course, I found them on amazon, but that ain't what I consider "local", and it would take a day or two to get them.
And they wonder why brick/mortar stores are going away...

It could be kind of a chicken/egg thing there, though. They probably reckon that local shoppers would rather just pop down in person, so they don't update the website, and everyone shops on the big sites...

Yeah, I know what you mean. It annoys me that the supermarkets don't even do that. Tesco (market leader in the UK) has a website listing every product and it's price but there is no way to tell is a particular store - the one near you perhaps - even stocks the item, let alone if it has any in stock! And most stores don't hold every item: understandably, it would take huge amount so space. But the only way to find out if a particular branch holds Item X is physically go there and search the shelves for it ... and this is the biggest "just in time" delivery company in the country, so they know second by second what is and isn't in stock, what shelf it is on, and how many have been picked up by customers (assuming scan-as-you-shop rather than shoplifting).
Go to Amazon or FleaBay and it's "3 in stock" or similar. Same problems, same systems - just better used.

I would not put it past Tesco and many other shops that tech and business departments discussed having such granular information on the site.
As a store business, you avoid giving clear, quick direction to a product, in the hope customers see other things on the way, and end up buying more then what they planned on getting at the start.
Amazon achieves this with the similar, "what others bought with this product" to great success.

Sears is a classic one for that, while their website has a lot of "deals" on tools. Ordering anything is a special level of WTH. On September 23rd I placed an order for some wrenches, with a pickup date of October 6th. When the order processed the next day, estimated pickup date was October 26th. Over 30 days for a set of wrenches...
Contacted support, their answer, yup, going to take that long.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
