Most awful hack job, but my kid likes it

Very nice, I am sure that you are proud of him...

No, I got a HF cheapie...

While I agree with your sentiment, I must also point out that this "traffic light" is, in fact, made relatively safely. Everything is soldered inside and attached securely and insulated. The power cable is held quite well also and cannot be easily pulled out.

They sold out. They got oopsed by some airhead bimbo and saddled with a bunch of hungry SPMs and a hungry PBH and had to fall into lockstep with the sheeple, trading Freedom for the Illusion of Security.

Some became Democrats and some became Republicans, depending on whether they think their security comes from Mom or from Dad.

Thanks, Rich [these aren't in the acronym finders yet: SPM = Screaming Poop Machine PBH = Psycho Bitch from Hell -- Cheers! - R]

Must have had a very long extension cord. ;-)

Cheers! Rich

Maybe he's a girl.

The Pig Bladder from Uranus, still waiting for that
hot babe to ask what my favorite planet is. ;-j

No, no, no, not with Mg and KMnO4. With them you put in a pinch of MN02 for a catalyst. C3H5(OH)3 you mix with a little H2SO4 to absorb the evolved H2O, and dribble in HNO3 to make, of course, C3H5(NO3)3. What's left, I guess, you put in your car battery. ;-P

Cheers! Rich

So, speak softly and carry a LOUD stick? ;-D

Thanks! Rich

So, there we have it folks - sticking bobby pins into light sockets _does_ cause brain damage! (or is it the other way around?)

;-P Rich

Yeah, I gotta admit, when I was fourish of fivish, my Dad taught me how to ride a bicycle - without training wheels! I still remember his operative phrase - "When you feel the bike tipping, turn the handlebars toward the side you're tipping to." Wobble, wobble, wobble, and suddenly, I'd stabilized my first negative feedback system - Me!*

Cheers! Rich

*[well, the me-bike system, but it would have been so anti-climactic to have spelled it all out like that. %-} ]

And my friends messed with explosives, which I never did. (magnesium and potassium permanganate, for example).

i

Geez Yeah , stick with the welder project FFS !

Every back packers kit should contain potassium permanganate and glycering. the PP makes great foot wash, wound sterilization, water treatment, and combined...makes starting a fire using wet wood very easy.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the shit out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner

Yes, indeed!

Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. Based on this discussion, I will make some changes. Specifically, I will replace the two wire cable to the three wire cable with ground, and will ground what needs to be grounded.

ROTFLMAO on the duct tape. Yes, the line cord is strain relieved, in fact even nicer than the picture suggests. I wrapped tape over it, and only then turned it backwards and wrapped more tape.

These covers are 100% worthless. I keep them at home mostly against other visiting kids.
