I took two bare copper wires, about two feet long and wrapped the ends around the contact part of a light bulb. Then stuck the other end into a desk lamp socket. Turned on the lamp. The electricity arced between the wires, the bulb explodes and the cord caught fire.
I did it once when I was in high school and felt like shit about it for a whole year. If you've done it, did you regret it? Was it out of necessity or for a thrill?
I had this conversation today with a man who has over a hundred Hot Wheels cars. I have over a hundred bottles of nail polish. Do NOT include tildes in your answer.

He asked if I was going to cook it after, and I explained that the potatoes were hot enough to cook the egg, and I even checked the temperature of the mix to prove it. Despite the fact that this is how I've made mashed potatoes for the past 15 years, and I learned the trick from my MIL, so it's the only way he's had potatoes in all that time, he refused to eat them. Eggs make the potatoes creamier and tastier, IMO. Is this how you make your mashed potatoes too? less

Today they are: air conditioning, audiobooks, and getting a good night's sleep.
Or even a mix of both? Some people prefer light questions, and personally I like those. Some people write more deep questions... I like those too... Lol I am pretty easily pleased ... moreOr even a mix of both? Some people prefer light questions, and personally I like those. Some people write more deep questions... I like those too...

They got a few but the abundant majority of the replies were in praise of the Affordable Health Care Act. Next time the askers have to be SPECIFIC! Restrict replies ONLY TO THOSE who comply with the point. They were not interested in people's experiences at all if the experiences weren't abysmally awful. They only wanted the bad ones, the terrible ones, the unfortunate ones. Unfortunately there weren't enough of them. Next time? Well you know what to do. Use "alternative facts". Make up the stories and the names and publish those. Fake it. Stack the deck. If you know the outcome you want make it happen yourself. You can't count on the people to give you what you want. Some, maybe many, will honestly tell you what they experienced. That's a gamble when you can't control what they say. Make it like a closed prez press conference where all questions are approved in advance and only friendly folks ... less

Others said NPR deserves defunding for tweeting such things as that. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE! Appropriate to read on the 4th of July or any other time! Inappropriate to attack for any reason at any time or any place. WHAT A DISGRACE ! They should be ashamed of themselves for the insults. Shows ta go ya how ridiculous ignorance can be and insulting simultaneously. How will they Tweet themselves out of that? Go dark. Go silent. Pretend it wasn't them? Pretend it was fake news? Really people that has got to be a low. Oh I know. They will go lower and lower and even lower than low. But on the 4th of July reading the Declaration of Independence verbatim and being insulted/attacked for it? What can be dumb dumber than that? less
