@alistaircoleman I can see potential for that item. not good potential, more the "giving people a heart-attack by hiding it around the house" potential.
and yes, the house would most likely end up torched to make sure it was gone forever...
@Chris world: hello Chris
...Also, I was only 4 or 5 years old. The paper figure tabs stated 'Tear Off Carefully' and I misunderstood. I thought they meant 'tear' as in cry, and 'tear off' was an expression I didn't yet know, so the tabs were warning 'if you get scared or upset, do so carefully.'

Eigg isn't connected to the UK national grid. Instead we generate 90% to 95% of our electricity from wind, sun, & water (hydro). Community-owned Eigg Electric was switched on in 2008. Islanders are trained and employed to manage it. Electricity costs 28p per unit/kWh. Before 2008 each property had its own diesel generator. Now we have 24kW of wind, 110kW of hydro, 170kW of solar PV, storage batteries, and a back up generator. Next challenge is #netzero #renewables #eigg http://isleofeigg.org/eigg-electric/
@Wildheart_Baby please don't combine that in any way with bluestar's ding-ding antics :/
"Please," said the man, "can you do magic to make me be kind?"
"No," said the witch. "Magic cannot change anyone's nature."
"So there is no hope for me?"
"You ask the wrong question. Kind is not something you are. It is what you do."
"Is it that simple?"
"It is that hard."

One drag queen did more to stop the gunman in Colorado than hundreds of cops could do in Texas. We should put one drag queen at every school, clearly kids would be safer.
Edit: Correction, I'm now reading that it was a trans woman not a drag queen. Still, an unarmed veteran and a trans woman did what 346 cops with a $4 million budget couldn't handle in Texas.
@eclectech ricoh theta s. bit old now, but gets awesome footage and a waterproof* case is available.
*hopefully. it's basically a thick plastic test-tube with a tripod mount in the heavily gasketted bung.
