..accidentally worked on live AC circuits before? I am afraid to ask!

I love wood and metal. I can't imagine owning any furniture that isn't composed of (preferably a combination of the two) either.

I had my own personal experience of something like this happen whilst driving around town. A power transformer exploded right in front of my car and scared the bajeezus out of me. It made night into day. I can't imagine seeing the same thing except covering the entire horizon.

I certainly agree that Best Buy could have included more women innovators in the commercial, but the list you provided is poor. Jen, Ballantine, Wixted, and Teutschler are all innovators in the mobile phone realm, which is what Best Buy was aiming for in their message. The rest are definitely tech innovators, but not…

Now that is more how I expected it!

and of all the unfortunate accidents you've mentioned...did you ever need a hex necklace?

And yet he finds time to post on Gizmodo articles. It must be a slow day ;)

Trick question. He wouldn't need any of these tools at all!

People who want this kind of stuff must watch too many episodes of Lost or I Shouldn't be Alive. I can't think of any instance to warrant carrying a can opener on my person at all times as opposed to opening cans with a can opener in my kitchen or taking one with me when I go camping (and for 1/10th of the cost).

Sounds just like Oklahoma except we can mix alcohol in our drinks, actually. Sucks doesn't it?!

Hoo-Rah Soldier!

9pm is what I meant. Yea, and them New Englanders, I hear, call a 30-pack a 30-rack.

I said it in my first post (Oklahoma), haha.

Yep. They sell cold beer, but its 3.2% alcohol instead of the regular beer, which along with liquor, you can only buy at a liquor store and only at room temp.

What happens when you run out of beer and have to run to the store only to find that in your state they aren't allowed to chill alcohol?

Didn't I see an article on Lifehacker recently about spending some extra money up front for quality items to save money in the long run? This is a good example of that.

Was anyone else expecting an explosion?

Like, man, I have this idea, man. What if instead of the internet OUTSIDE....get this...we put the internet INSIDE our computers, man.

Mine is the same thing (single suction cup with a hook) and ALL I hang on it is a back brush. Of course, when something goes bump in the night I have to pretend I am not scared shitless while the gf gets to hide under the covers :)

My first semester I thought that was just rumors and scare-tactics so I didn't wear flipflops to the shower...
