  • I sort of am, because I’ve been kind of forced into the role, being the only person in my immediate family and one of relatively few in my extended family to have left the Catholic Church. I have a hard time really vocally trying to break patterns, since I’m the “outsider”. But I do what I can to make sure that I don’t replicate those negative patterns





  • Oh, absolutely. As my instructor put it, if you cause an arc flash and are killed instantly, you got off lucky. Because if you survive, your body will be severely damaged for the rest of your life.

    Those trainings put the fear into you for good reason. I don’t fuck with high voltage at all, shit is way too scary for me.


  • And that arc flash’s temperature is several times hotter than the surface of the sun. It’s hot enough to instantly vaporize any surrounding metal, meaning that if you manage to survive being near an arc flash, there’s a chance that you’ll end up with tiny metal shards in your lungs, when they cool down after you breathe them in. Arc flashes are scary stuff.
