What's in the Kool-Aid lately?

[REWahoo]

What's not to like?

Bet he doesn't miss the smell...

More than you ever wanted to know about tin foil hats, including construction plans....Warning: link to weird, weird site Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie

Maybe I should start a poll to see if tinfoil or aluminium foil hats are more effective.

I guess, for the stated purpose of foil hats, metals with higher electrical conductivities should yield better results. Aluminum is a much better electric conductor than tin. For best protection though, silver or copper should be considered.

I never have liked Kool Aid or the Kool Aid 'man'...he freaks me out.

Oh and don't get me started on clowns and clown porn....

Know what freaks me out about Kool Aid? That's what Jim Jones used in Jonestown to mix the poison in.

Clown porn? I really do live a sheltered life.

Ummm.....I think that's where the expression comes from.

It wasn't even real KOOL-AID?? Agh, that is just abhorrent (not that it wasn't already dreadful and abhorrent but this is just wretched). Flavor-aid is a crummy imitation IMO.

Next you'll tell me that the astronauts didn't really drink Tang..

Mimes are a close second to clowns in creepiness for me.

My favorite tinfoil hat photo:

Imagine the banner ads we will start seeing now.

Is there such a thing as mime porn? <shudder>

 

[Nords]

The board sure has gotten a lot more entertaining lately for primarily lurkers -occasional posters as myself.
... who knew all this fun was just waiting...

Au contraire, the mid-term election season is just getting started!

Ewwwwww!

That brings to mind the 2012 Presidential elections which will be here before we know it. Having suffered through the 2008 Presidential elections as a member of the mod team, the coveted "Moderator Emeritus" (or perhaps in my case "Yellow-Bellied, Cowardly Ex-Moderator") title might mysteriously appear under my username about, oh, say September 2012.

That old cop standby used for situations in which the closer-to-sane could be warned off from continued disturbing behavior not quite deserving of immediate jail therapy - "If I get another call back here, somebody is going to jail!" - was totally useless. You can't fix imaginary problems without imaginary solutions. So, I've chased herds of imaginary snakes out of houses, performed exorcisms, convinced evil imaginary friends to go away and never come back, analyzed the markings on spaceships hovering overhead to determine that they were actually from a friendly planet, and occasionally made a tinfoil hat to block the crazy rays.


​

This reminds me of the days early on in my career when I was chasing radio and TV interference. I put many a cable end in a plastic bag or wrapped it in tinfoil to keep the spy rays in the cable. It was really spooky going into a house that had its windows covered with tinfoil when you know the occupant believed the government or the alien next door was using RF or rays to spy on them. You had to be careful about preconceived notions though. I have seen toasters, ductwork, cook stoves fillings and a variety of other items act as receiver in a strong enough RF field.

Freebirds comment about silver and copper reminds me of building Copper Clad Silver Soldered RF shielded rooms to contain the stray signals from 50KW RF Industrial Generators a couple of years later.

This must be early career thread

I did that when I had just started w*rking. Sunrise here is about 4:00 AM and I was too cheap to buy curtains.

Hmmmm - I thought people were serving recreational drugs in the kool-aid well before that....

Everyone knows you should ALWAYS go with gold, it doesn't tarnish, conducts electricity well, and will ALWAYS yield better results.
