From my understanding, you stand on a hill in a thunderstorm with a kite, wait for some electricity, then put it in a bottle?

I don't know if this is something one is supposed to admit, because I've certainly never heard anyone say it, but I just realized I don't understand electricity. As a former Air Force IT technician I had to take some basic electronic principles courses, but I don't understand how it's actually made. I understand turbines make most electricity and do so by electromagnetic induction, but when I try to read about electromagnetic induction I simply don't understand it. I haven't seen anything presented in a way I can understand it. I even tried some webpages made for kids to understand electricity but those don't explain enough. How do spinning magnets create electricity in a way we can use?

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

isnt it like the magnets cause electrons to get all excited and then it captures the excited electrons and pushes them through wires into your homes or something

what?

Don't you just love when you find a bug at the bottom of a glass you've been drinking from for the last two hours?

How about when it's not a bug, but rather a fucking house centipede?

Oh well. It was probably gonna crawl in my mouth while I was sleeping, anyway.

I've only gone to two classes since the last midterm, then when I went to study I found out that not only has the prof stopped uploading slides but also used a different textbook for a third of the things on the test, which I didn't read. Fuck being forced to take useless classes

Gross. I'm assuming you were drinking an opaque liquid in an opaque glass, otherwise that's an awfully big bug not to notice for two hours.

For the non-Americans here, Pokerstars just released Zoom-beta, basically their version of Rush Poker* from Full Tilt. The bad news is that only micro-stakes tables are available; the good news is that everyone is donking around like Jamie Gold.

*It's a fast-paced poker game that instantly allows players to move to another table as soon as they've completed their action. So, for example, if you're in the cut-off with 72offsuit, you can fold before it's your turn to act and you're placed on a new table with a new hand.

Something terrible has happened... I poured a 3rd bowl (I know

) and all I got was a few loops and loop-dust.

Baby is moving around like crazy though. I'd like to think its because she likes Froot Loops, but I know it's just the delicious fruity sugar, which is the first ingredient listed, even before flour.

Anybody ever had pot that was pressed so hard that it was harder than most plastics? This shit is pressed flatter than a Chinese woman's ass. Squeezing this shit is like squeezing a computer mouse

The strange part is, shit is STRONG, like stronger than pretty much all the Cali weed I ever seen. Just a clear high as fuck, giggles like a motherfucker. I can barely smoke a blunt of it by myself without getting a bad case of the 'noids. Also the cheapest weed I ever bought too.

Probably a heart attack but we'll see.
