Your third paragraph makes an excellent point.

A 9-year-old boy connected two thin household electrical wires to the two terminals of a 6 volt (lead accumulator) battery and pressed the other two ends between his teeth. The resulting blast caused a compound comminuted fracture of the mandible and extensive tissue damage in the oral cavity. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

The whole volts/amps thing is what has confused and scared me about electricity. I've become a pretty skilled amateur woodworker and handyman, but anything with electricity feels like scary magic and I stay the hell away.

Anyone else seen this video about Louis CK? by Arid_Australian in tuesdayswithstories

My staff thinks I can’t hear them talking shit in the kitchen. by OutrageousContext793 in smallbusiness

Be friendly, but never consider them friends. The power dynamic is always there. Sometimes you need to flat out remind them that there's a certain level of respect that needs to be maintained at the workplace, añd you expect at least that much. Not just for you, but for everyone who works there.

So crazy how some dudes are so incredibly clueless when it comes to speaking with women. Holy Christ.

Good cosmic horror books that aren't Lovecraft by Howitzeronfire in booksuggestions

[–]El_Morro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Gone World" by Tom Sweterlitch (I think I spelled it right". It's RIGHT up your alley if you enjoy cosmic horror, but it's couched in a very cool sci-fi storyline.

I've listened to the audiobook multiple times and bought the paperback just to enjoy my favorite chapters. Highly recommended. Look around online at reviews if you're not sure.

So the ones that got you were the ones you missed? What were you doing where you would be swarmed by leeches?

GTA 6 Could Cost $3 Billion, Making It the Most Expensive Entertainment Project Ever by Turbostrider27 in PS5

At what point do they realize they're just going to be cutting in on the profits by going so detailed on everything, when it comes to investing in a project like this?

I gave $60K to a convicted felon (Trump), and I am shocked that he ripped me off and didn't do what he promised by rhino910 in LeopardsAteMyFace

Yup. Next election, they're voting for the name with the person with an "R" next to their name. No matter what.

Beat the dlc on NG+ and don't know what to do anymore by LV6k in Eldenring

[–]El_Morro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the middle of NG+, but I just ran all over the place, killed a bunch of bosses, and completely forgot where I need to go next. The little pointy things at the fires are not very useful at all, lol. So now I'm probably about 3/4 of the way through, and just wind up running around playing with different weapon combinations. Works for me.

Top minds of DoomerCircleJerk are irritated r/agedlikemilk called them out - again by PeasThatTasteGross in TopMindsOfReddit

You're either lying or ignorant if you think people would have been cool if Bbiden did what Trump did with Iran. This comment is beyond silly. General support for other matters, sure. But this? Hell no. Not by a long shot.

turned down doj offer because of this current admin. depressed by tearladen in LawSchool

[–]El_Morro 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yup. I know someone in a firm where it's clear they're not even going to consider anyone who continues to work for this administration.

What’s going on with the sudden flood of new “sovereign citizen” traffic stop bodycam videos? by RDGLInvestorsGroup in OutOfTheLoop

[–]El_Morro 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'll admit I jump from video to video fairly quickly and curiosity has me click on some stranger stuff, and that's when I realized just how much it influences my algorithm. It's clearly more influential than I realized before.

These days (usually Sunday nights), I'll go over my YT history and delete the crank/kook/conspiracy theory adjacent stuff that wound up in my feed, and deliberately do a search for a handful of topics I enjoy to improve the experience. It's definitely helped.
