I had a copy on a floppy disk labeled, "Fuzzy Bunnies TXT", given to me by some kid in middle school whose name I don't remember. I tried to make an exploding pen out with match heads and sand paper, but it never really worked. I also spent a lot of time lamenting being too young to have the opportunity to do phone phreaking.

I remember a period of time when the news was warning of tennis balls full of match heads supposedly left to injure dogs that find and try to chew on them.

I still have that fucker somewhere, it somehow survived from floppy disk in 1995 until now. I printed the whole thing off at school in 10th grade, back before that sort of thing raised eyebrows.

wesleywillis posted:Lightning strike? There was a crazy windstorm in the Seattle region early Sunday morning with some areas reporting 60mph gusts. Lots of trees came down. So something probably already hit the wires before that. I was up checking on my property while blue and orange flashes lit up the sky all around. There are still some areas without power and trees/branches littering the roadside. Someone uploaded this, too. https://i.imgur.com/4tqEuAD.gifv I thought I filmed some of the huge flashes, especially the one that resulted my area's power going out but unfortunately I failed to actually press the record button and just held my phone to the sky....

wesleywillis posted:Lightning strike? It looks like there are a few sparks falling at the very start of the video. Which would make sense if there was an initial flash and then whoever started filming. My guess is that the static wire (lightning protection at the top of the towers) failed. The initial flash was the static getting close enough to the energized lines to draw an arc. That would trigger the relays to trip the breakers at each end and remove power from the line. The relays will attempt to re-energize the line after a few seconds, because most of the time it is lightning or a tree branch. That couple of second delay allows the static to come fully into contact with the conductors, and why it basically flashes to plasma and burns away. Those lattice towers are usually only used for very high voltages, somewhere north of 100kV. The amount of energy available during faults at those voltage levels is truly amazing/scary.

Bad Munki posted:Sounds like no, if this guy is real: This seems to make complete sense and would explain why the span was glowing before suddenly lighting up like Christmas and melting. Cythereal posted:That would be my guess. Lightning strike hitting a telephone pole. Beaten to this, but it wouldn't have already been glowing. Also kinda picking nits here, but that's an electrical transmission tower, it's easily more than twice the size of an average telephone pole in height alone and has four legs. So it has no phone lines on it and it's not really a pole...

OSHA related: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-46793916 choice quote from the article: Dr Magdalena Edington, from Glasgow's Tennent Institute of Ophthalmology, wrote the report for the December edition of BMJ Case Reports. In it, she said: "Prescribing errors are common, and medications with similar names and packaging increase risk. "However, it is unusual in this case that no individual, including the patient, general practitioner or dispensing pharmacist, questioned erectile dysfunction cream being prescribed to a female patient, with ocular application instructions. "We believe this to be an important issue to report, to enhance awareness and promote safe prescribing skills."
