I find explosions are the worst specifically the sound of them. Far away exploding things don't make a sound the instant the explosive explodes there's a delay. What funny is the delay makes it dramatic it's intuitive to huma

Elon poo-pooed hydrogen so I expect "the word of Elon" to be barfed out chapter and verse at the mere mention of hydrogen. Yes hydrogen has its problems generating and storing it but the lack of imagination of people is tiring.

I worked for my uncle who had arcade games then for a lottery with slot machines. Capacitors always leak I've never seen a device over 40 years where there wasn't a bad cap. At the lottery I had a $5,000 3D multilayered monitor fa

Here in Canada Best Buy sells refurbished hardware but it's not Best Buy itself. You buy it on their site and it looks like Best Buy sells it but it's from a third party and most often it's junk. Not outright fraud like Walma

It isn't in Canada either mostly I'd say because there's no set date. The government can lose a confidence vote and an election can be called at anytime (a date set in the future not immediate). But we do get a paid hour or t

I changed a fluorescent lamp ceiling fixture this evening at my parent's house. The light was probably made in 1970 or early 70s. It fell on my head when the last screw let go unexpectedly. And it was far heavier than I was expecting a
