As someone who blows up light bulbs amongst other things on a regular basis, i'm wondering where this might go once/if they venture past the obvious/logical.

also, i was testing the posting ability (seems to work) and wondering if anyone had any other interesting AskMe questions to point out--

Make an image. I spent all that time writing you advice. Don't let me down, 'cause if you do...

I'll, ummm, be very disappointed, I guess.

Gremlins?

Oh, and my guess is Hyderabadi Phone Spirits.

oh, and the question above it is mine (gannonesquely unmasked at mofi for no good reason, as i don't have to bother masking anything) and i'm trying to refrain from clarifying it with details to see if it gets past the "um, no" part of the answer period.

I've given you an answer, although I don't know if it will help, given that you're in an apartment complex. By coincidence, I was just reading last night about light bulbs that blow out too often, and high incoming voltage was the culprit. Good luck.

oh, i know why i blow stuff up--
clarification: the posted question isn't me, the one above it is

now i'm gonna have to get off the internet or i'll not get anything done, for taz or otherwise

"Off the internet"? Next you're gonna tell me there's actually anything "outside."

Out.Side. What is this you speak of?

I think this 'OutSide' is above my clearance level.

I'm only a Yellow, y'know.

my time of day question so did not turn out as i'd hoped. it turned into another subjective piece of crap with no note of the irony of posting it in the evening. now i have to put it on the ever growing list of stuff to do deathly slow research on.
i guess "hard information" and the category don't translate once someone decides it's a "survey says" thread.
