Also, I hear they're the largest producer of potassium.

Yes, but these guys had already shot a person at the store so they were not just robbers at that point.

Cool reason for cops to use random commuters as meatshields, then.

Not taking the cops side, just saying that it wasn't about stolen jewelry (successful or not), it was about attempted murder. The cops hosed up hardcore and my heart breaks for those innocent people who were just going about their day before getting iced by the police.

I read recently that it is possible the manhole cover was going so fast that it didn't have time to vaporize. I can only hope that whatever foundry cast that steel plate is the first corporation to wipe out a whole alien civilization.

Has anyone done a calculation to see whereabouts that thing would be heading? Is it possible to hit anything in our solar system (I understand how tiny the odds of that are)?

Hot and Ground reversed is an exciting mistake to make.

I'm not sure how you would even do that without a deliberate effort.

I make power cables at work for our machines. They come with the female end on and I put the 3-prong male end on. I've seen it only once in the past 5 years, but the ground cable had been swapped with the hot at the female plug end one time. I was so surprised, as I almost thought it was just a neutral/hot swap (which wouldn't hurt anything on our boxes, the power supply handles it fine).

Guilty of similar on my first car. I didn't know about a little rubber under the brake pedal perishing was cause for brake lights to be on constantly. So I pulled the fuse and then manually turned on my lights on the stalk everytime I thought it might be a cop behind me to make them think I had brake lights. I was a dumb teen.

Every time I visit Oregon I jump out, start pumping my gas, then the attendant slowly sidles up and we exchange our "should I bother?" glances. Then I chuckle and let out a "whoops, forgot I was in Oregon" and jump back in until the next trip.

I remember playing "rad" in Scrabble when I was like 10 staying at my buddy's house. They looked it up, and it was an accepted short form of radiation. I was feeling so dumb for playing that word.

Newer ones have better ventilation so you don’t end up a completely sweaty mess, but they’re still not really comfortable for extended periods if it’s warm out. But they’re still more comfortable then getting stuff drilled out of your god drat eyeball.
