Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I can't explain why, but this feels like an abomination

It was a very tasty abomination.

Few are they who have layed eyes upon the Ur-corn and lived to tell the tale

It's a blade fuse you only put in other people's equipment

Any thing is a fuse for a brief enough period of time or high enough amperage

Correction, anything can function as the wrong fuse, but only the right fuse will actually keep your stuff from catching on fire. People always seem to forget that you want fuses to blow because if they don't something else will at best melt and at worst ignite. A blown fuse (or tripped breaker) isn't a problem, it's a symptom.

I swap out all my fuses for high purity copper wire.
