RE: Solid vs Stranded wire

OK, so we got this electron current - either AC going back and forth or DC in one direction as separate entities or as an AC signal imposed on DC, which, either way, means there's a chaotic mixture of electrons hurtling through the wire like a riotous marathon through a tunnel. And there's a limited number of available valence positions meaning the runners in the tunnel have to play musical chairs on their way through and some of the runners have to run backwards periodically. Imagine what it's like, if you're an electron, to be faced with this turmoil. Seems to me we're just being sadistic to submit electrons to such confusing, painful conditions. I think we should take a moment for a silent prayer for forgiveness.

Or, we could mitigate things a tad by using stranded 10 awg - surplus trans atlantic cable or maybe just jumper cable if that seems to extreme, but skinless, of course.
