It would be interesting to experience. You'd die or maybe go to sleep and not wake up so in your mind you just went to bed as usual. And you wake up decades or centuries later in an instant. Imagine someone from the 1800s trying to und

It can be a bad flyback transformer some leads loosen and you get a whine. Power is 60Hz in US and Canada but the whine is much higher than 60Hz. Even a properly working CRT TV had the very high pitch whine. Any kid from the 80s or I guess

I wonder if Twitter.com will be abandoned on Jan 21 2024? Someone can claim it and start their own website called Twitter. I was going to joke about Prince and Weird Al fighting over the name but I see I said that already https:/&#x2F
