I used a convection toaster oven in the kitchen.

That fried the circuits of 1/3 of the house. Some amateur electrician tied in several new circuits into the same kitchen breaker. They used undergauged wire on top of it.

Cost us $6k to fix and that was a hell of a deal from some Covid - unemployed union electricians. They put in 3 breakers where there was one before. The electrician had a hell of a time tracking where all the lines came from. That included a 3ft fireball shooter ng out of the wall because a line was love when it shouldn't have been.

When people complained about the BLM protests blocking traffic, I liked to reply with pictures of MLK leading massive marches down the street.

If you talk to God, that is religion. If God talks back, that is mental illness.

Also in spite of what we learn on TV, matching a bullet to a gun is mostly junk science.

I always knew I was a villain.

One of my favorite examples of the difficulty in idiot-proofing things comes from a national park ranger talking about the difficulty of designing a bear-proof garbage can. He said "There is considerable overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans."

 

Luna is a 3 year old standard poodle. We have had her for 3 weeks and I already can't imagine life without her.
