Bloody Hedgehog posted:Same. I got shocked twice in a row from a wall socket. Painful and bone-jarring, but it had little other physical effect on me, and that was as a child. Probably the best description I've seen thus far of a "mild" shock, I've had that happen a couple times when I was younger. Once when I was 8 and hadn't completely dried my hands after washing them, I went to the fridge to get a drink and the bulb was out. Figured it was dead, so I reached in, started twisting the bulb and my damp fingers touched the metal part of the bulb in the socket and I got a little shock. Second time was 7th grade, doing a mock construction project in shop class - we basically built a small section of a house from the ground up (wood framing, insulation, electric outlets/switches, drywall, etc). While we were doing the wiring, our teacher specifically told us NOT to touch a certain metal piece that wiring was going to, and I wasn't even thinking about it when one of my teammates asked me to hold said metal piece with wiring going to it. When the electricity went active I felt a nice vibrating tingle up my whole arm and it took a second to register that yes, I was being lightly electrocuted and needed to stop touching the metal thing.

Giving how close he was standing I'd guess it was Jackass-style shenanigans. Edit: yeah you can see him brace himself just before the fireworks go off.

Centripetal Horse posted:I've had a few run-ins with electricity over the years, but somehow I have never been knocked down or out. Schadenfreude at my expense time. In school I worked a job in the university's repair center fixing lab equipment. I'm repairing a strobe light; the bulb has four electrodes, a high-voltage pair to ionize the gas and a low-voltage pair to send a current pulse through the gas to light it up. I take it apart, resolder some dodgy contacts, and decide that before I put the casing back on I'll power it on and check that it works. So I do so, not noticing that my hand's in contact with the high-voltage contact. 1000 volts goes through me, I make a noise that sounded like "hrgh," every muscle in my torso hypercontracts, and I drop the strobe. The three other guys in the shop look at me, they all figure out what happened at the same time, and we all broke out laughing. Fortunately that's the low-current side of the transformer. Wow.

C.M. Kruger posted:It's the amperage IIRC. Household power is 15 amps and automotive alternators are what, 60 amps and up? Strong enough to arc weld with at least. In door frame's case he's dealing with output of the ignition system which is in the tens of thousands of volts (but comes in rapid low current bursts) as someone who's first car maintenance experience involved a car with dodgy spark leads, I can attest to the pain it can inflict.

This story feels like a Cohen brothers movie. Guy runs out of his house in his bathrobe and tackles the arsonist, arsonist dies from the face-plant into the pavement. All while trying to burn down a hot-dog cart.

The best part is that the cop got away but then came back to try and restart the fire after it was put out.

Crosspost from the Cute, Adorable and Uplifting thread:Celery Face posted:A couple on Judge Judy get their dog back from some idiot who bought it from a thief. You can hear the defendant going "don't, don't, don't" when Judge Judy tells the girl holding the dog to put it down on the floor. I'd feel a bit bad for her but considering she bought the dog off a stranger on the streets for 40 dollars, she either knew the dog was stolen or should have realised it at some point. Also, chip your dogs.

He changed the center of mass by cutting off a big chunk of the trunk, so then the root mass was heavier than the rest of the tree and it pulled it back upright.

Volume posted:Some one needs to explain this to me. Tree was knocked over somehow. There is a pit where the heavy roots covered in dirt are. He released weight on one side by cutting it and the root side became heavier. The edge of the pit is the fulcrum. Wow everyone sure was in a hurry to educate Volume.
