    Stu Lumsden, the retired head of engineering at Polk, posted that he found what appears to be an SDA CRS on a Doritos super bowl add:

    The box is supposed to be full of magic crystals. Or maybe it's pebbles. Or just dirt... but not just air.

    My first experience with Balmerese was when I started my first post Air Force civilian job working for Stansbury Stereo in Dundalk. At the time Kodak (often referred to as "Kojac" or "Kodiak") had the Carousel slide projector. Customers would ask if we had the newest Kodiak Casserole. Another was "Palmeroid" for Polaroid. And "fillim" for film to take some "pixtures". Sony became "Zoney" and Klipsch was often called "Klipish".

    When my wife was first in grad school, she got directions from a local to go... somewhere... from the JHU environs (Charles & 34th Sts). She was told to take "Blair Road". She had a heck of a time finding it, until someone decoded it for her: Belair Road. :)

    I love the Bawlmer accent -- but I am always taken aback by the similarity of the Philadelphia accent (shared by some of southern NJ, at least to my ear). :|

    What's the tolerance on that resistor? I'm calling Shenanigan's!

    That is a really good question!!! :D:D:D
    I think it would have to be either zero or infinite, right?

    As I muse on the zero ohm resistor -- I know what else they'd be good for!

    or another outlet on the circuit has one -- that meets code in NH, at any rate.

    I had this happen once. Well, more than once, but for this story...

    A hair clip sort of appeared on one of my nightstands one day. It was thin and wide, you know, the sort of thing that could find its way I to cracks and gaps of old, second hand furniture? that is truly what I thought had happened, and that it had worked its way free somehow.

    Kind of freaked me out, because I wasn't sure where it came from or that it belonged to my current gf at the time. So I did what any normal guy looking to avoid a situation would do - I hid it. Then she asked one night, Hey! What happened to my hairclip?

    I answered honestly, and without thinking - "I didn't know that was yourssss..." 😑😬, immediately - and too late - realizing my mistake.

    My friends, know this: There is no undo in life. There is no amount of back pedaling one can do to reverse such damage.

    Luckily, she was just messing with me.
    And, I had the other hair clips properly stashed away.

    As a fun joke one day, stick an extra, girlie toothbrush in the bathroom, or ask a friend's girlfriend or wife for some strands of hair to place on your pillows.

    One of may favorite roads EVER! What an engineering masterpiece!

    This (not photoshopped) is an actual road in Morganton NC. Love the touch with the dedicated stop sign.

    Just needs two rails and some gravel for the train crossing, and the gate to shatter on launch.

    Seriously though, Ivan - that's your BMX "find the line" radar. It never stops working :D
