Everyone do yourselves a favor--go to a thrift store and buy a few microwaves. Find a field, string a hundred feet of extension cords from an outlet and start microwaving all the things your not suppose to.

My favorites: Ivory soap--bubbles outward; Grapes--see article; Incandescent lightbulb --lights up; Wine bottle--explodes, do this last

Also lots of things you think would be bad do nothing: spray paint can, soup can, silverware, cup of gas with aluminum foil in it.

Hit the [empty] wine bottle with a propane torch till a spot is glowing red before you start nuking it ... room temp glass is an insulator, hot glass conducts!

It's an intersting question if this has also been tried with US embassies https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/03/10/russians-a...

Those AOL CD's or any useless DVD are good candidates to nuke with scintillating results!

If you still have AOL cd's, you might be a hoarder.

The smell from those though is quite something

CD - nice crackling effect

Draw on paper with a lead pencil - it burns out the pencil lines. Perfect for making pirate maps.

Thats not really the ACA\Obamacare story, but it's still funny:

Explain the program and then call it'ACA' and people loved it. Explain the program and call it 'Obamacare' and polled people disliked it.

Shakespeare was wrong about roses.

Yeah, everyone in the 80s remembers what a hell hole america was thanks to what Pepsi and coke were engaged in.

How could more cheating avenues not equal a more likelihood of being caught?

Car analogy--I never had to take my 1976 Olds Cutlass in because the key fob got out of sync or because the touchscreen got fried or the electronic power steering module shorted or... or .. or

More points of failure = more failure.

Is a 76 olds the car to use to make a point about reliability?

Not regarding the paintjob, certainly.

The term "religious fact" always puts a smile on my face.

You've not been paying attention. Laws can be undone easily with laws.

Pass your 'no KOSA' law. And then when they want KOSA, they just pass KOSA with a sentence that says this KOSA law supersedes prior 'No KOSA' laws.

You need to limit their power to do that and the only way is constitutionally.

No security is perfect, you can only create walls and speedbumps. It makes it harder. You're right, limit the power, but that doesn't mean you can't do both. The latter is much harder

No it's definitely ironic, in the rain on your wedding day kind of way.

Which is to say, the ultimate irony of Ms. Morisette's song is that there is no irony named.

What's the * doing? Is that you civil disobedience? Is that how you stick it to the man? Do you think it's the way to sway people who are in the fence about trump?

I just don't get people and their nano aggressions.

I censor his name in order to not boost it for his benefit. I don't want to be ambivalent about my opposition to violence.

Free speech for all. Well, except those I disagree with.

First, what is there to wonder about? Stakes. There are things to be gained from winning (and purposely losing).

Second, no one sport has more cheating than any other with similar stakes.

Third, "cheating" is more of a spectrum than binary. Travelling with the basketball is cheating and sometimes penalized. Having your husband kneecap your Olympic skating rival is cheating as well.

Fourth, "cheating" is relative and always in flux. You could head slap an NFL receiver in the 1970's, but no longer. Forward passes in the NHL were illegal in olden times, but fine today.
