!calgary !college So after leaving the electrical lab for the final time this year, having managed to avoid incident over two semesters. And then I somehow managed to electrocute myself while plugging in my phone charger. || I'm totally fine, but I've never been electrocuted before. My arm is kinda sore.

@puzzlemint !Calgary gotta love that tingling sensation when you do give yourself a good shock!
-
@darcyblue Try catching a 10,000 volt transformer bare-handed while it's still plugged in...
-
@colfax This kills the pony.
-
@ceruleanspark Not really, just a bit of nerve damage... I was building a Jacob's ladder and it started to fall off the table, I tried to catch it and jammed my thumb between the electrodes.
-
@colfax Oh hey we both have nerve damage from catching falling objects that we shouldn't have. Coincidence
-
@ceruleanspark At the time, being electrocuted was preferable to burning the brand new living room carpet...
-
@colfax and spilling lager over a pile of electronics was not an acceptable outcome here.
-
@colfax I try to avoid death or injury when I can.. its kinda the smart thing to do.
-
@darcyblue Sounds boring.
-
@colfax its kinda understandable when you work in a steel factory where every machine will brutality remove limbs or kill you. so I get plenty of excitement daily.
