  • I’m not an electric engineer by any means but electrons take the path of least resistance. In this case the heating element is still less resistance than arcing through air. Keep in mind the distance between prongs in an electric plug is just as close.

    If you straightened out a paperclip and threw it in there you would probably see what you are asking about. Or a stick of graphite(pencil lead) if you really want fireworks. Don’t do either of these things, though. You could be shocked by the current and even more shocked by medical and legal bills.


  • Someone replied to a post about the movie with some old nudes of the first lady of the United States and I replied with a picture of Kevin McCallister looking at the picture of his brother’s girlfriend in Home Alone(it was in reality the son of the art designer made up to look like an awkward teen girl for a joke in a movie made for children).

    I forgot about my reply and saw it weeks later going through my post history looking for something else. It cracked me up seeing the setup after wondering why I posted that reaction image.

    I didn’t get dogpiled like I would have expected on reddit for some micro aggression. I am not in favor of body shaming because it leads to insecurity for bystanders. I don’t want to encourage a culture of insipid potshots taken at people for their appearance. In this case, though, the shame is far, far, deeper than the appearance of someone’s body. Other times the shame is probably an inch deep inside her.











  • I don’t really drink much but befriending a local bartender has made me much more social than I am on my own. I moved to this town without knowing anyone. My bartender friend grew up here and knows damn near everyone in town. I am now on friendly terms with a lot of people around town. I might not remember all of their names but a friendly face is a friendly face.

    I find breaking the ice to be difficult but feel much less iced out with a friend who is warm with everyone.

    I should add that I became a regular at his bar for the most antisocial reason to be honest. I worked second shift and lived alone at the time. I would stop by after work about an hour(sometimes less) before closing to get food if the kitchen was open. I went there for food more than drinks but food didn’t always work out. I did this on Mondays because I figured Monday was the least busy day a bar would have. At that hour it was usually pretty quiet. Over time we became friends because he’s a friendly guy.


  • Join my gym program it’s called LB Fatness. You sign up for this gym scam, cancel immediately using a fake card number so they don’t get a dime, and as time goes on joining the gym will become too expensive. If you can’t afford to get scammed you won’t get scammed. Workouts include carrying a fat wallet, riding a bike outdoors in air that smells like car exhaust and not sweat, and lifting cinderblocks while sitting on a weathered piano bench outside on a patch of dirt. Front yard is optional dirt patch is not. You gotta buy yourself a bike and a few cinderblocks but the piano bench should show up on garbage day on a curb somewhere eventually. Just keep an eye out and you’ll see one sooner than you’d think.

    Send me your CC#, a photo with your shirt off, and home address and I’ll order you clothes that are just a little too small but otherwise look great and will slowly shrink in the wash.
