Emily Hinds was having an early night after celebrating a win in social netball with a glass of wine on Tuesday night.
"I woke up in that slumber feeling like I've rolled onto a hair clip on my head and was thinking 'Why did the kids put a hair clip on my head'?" the 42-year-old mum said.
"Then I thought the clip would have to open and close.
"Then I felt it and it was smooth and long and I said 'It's a snake!'
The broadband internet for an entire village of wales had been going down every day around 7am for the last 18 months. That problem has finally been solved
Engineers used a device called a spectrum analyzer and walked up and down the village "in the torrential rain" at 6 a.m. to see if they could locate an electrical noise, Jones said in a statement.
At 7 a.m. -- "like clockwork" -- the device "picked up a large burst of electrical interference in the village."
"The source of the 'electrical noise' was traced to a property in the village. It turned out that at 7 a.m. every morning the occupant would switch on their old TV which would in-turn knock out broadband for the entire village."
Doesn't really matter. Any electronic device that outputs a significant interference at 612Khz can cause something like this.

Bad news: you, an asshole, fucked up laser safety and burned yourself.
Good news: you are now a training aid!
I used to have that engineer come to my training classes, so I could have him roll up his shirtsleeve to display the four dime sized scars on his arm where a Quanta Ray had vaporized flesh as he pulled his arm though a beam.
LESSON: "Learn from Joe. Know where your beams are."

This is why you use the laser beams that are visible along their entire length. It's really a safety issue.

If the beam is powerful enough to inflict burns, why the hell is anybody dicking around with the dang thing while it's on? Why isn't there a fail-safe enclosure around it?

Those can be defeated. At a job a few years back we had a low power laser (table top sized) that could etch wood and aluminum. Mostly for logos and calibration marks. The guys operating the laser defeated the safeties and would put their hands and arms in to give themselves temporary brands that they would load into the software.

As a dumbass mid-20s something, they did look pretty damn cool. I wasn't sticking my arm in a box with a laser, but the results did speak for themselves.

Silly me, I thought it was gonna be "to go faster". Though laser brands do seem like a pretty cool idea...
That first paragraph is, to put it lightly, a fucking lie:
I noticed that people always had something to say when I had something like 'Tits' or 'Pussy' in the title. Now I'm no prude. I grew up with Carry On films and fully aware of the British obsession with double entendre. The turning point was when I took some of my paintings into a local coffee shop where they would display work by local artists. At first, Gary who ran the shop was unimpressed, but when I pointed out some of the titles, he became very interested and suggested I concentrate on that. The boy turned out to be an adequate web designer and offered to build me a website as he said he had found the perfect domain name for me.
You would be surprised just how many people don't clock the titles. Sometimes I wonder if I’m too subtle! I have a few patrons that buy my work on face value. The original paintings do not have the titles on them like the prints do. I like to think that people are buying into the project as a whole. As long as they are well-hung and people appreciate my tits and stuff, I don't really mind.

Doesn't really matter. Any electronic device that outputs a significant interference at 612Khz can cause something like this.
It is impressive that it managed to do so for the entire town though.
In this case, "the entire town" is a tiny village of only about 10 houses. She probably just lives next to the one DSL distribution point for everyone there.
Just remember that half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

10 houses? The article I read said 400 people. I figured they were fairly rural and spread out farm plots or something too.

I mean you can check it out on maps, but they must have been counting miles of the surrounding countryside to hit that number because the village itself is barely there.

Contact: Amber Kraft
King Salmon, AK – Katmai National Park and Preserve, – No capes are needed for these furry superheroes. They may not be faster than a speeding bullet, but despite the weight they are carrying, these burly beasts can still run faster than most humans. These brown bears’ power of packing on the pounds gets them through the winter and able to live to compete another year. With or without the lasso of truth around us, our story remains the same: fat bears = healthy bears.
While the plumpest of the plump work to gain even more, Katmai’s bears of Brooks River will compete in head-to-head matchups in Fat Bear Week’s single elimination tournament. Your votes decide who will wear the mantle of 2020’s Fattest Bear. We are moving this voting from Katmai National Park’s Facebook page to explore.org/fat-bear-week hosted by explore.org. Experience the excitement of survival of the fattest when Fat Bear Week 2020 begins Wednesday, September 30th! Matchups will be open for voting from 12 - 10 p.m. Eastern (8 a.m. - 6 p.m. Alaska).
Does Bear 747 have a chance to get his first championship by dethroning last year’s reigning champion, 435 Holly? Will a new bear come from the outside and topple the competition for the ultimate win? Can multi time champ 480 Otis reclaim his spot on top for one more year? While we can’t foresee the future champion, we do know the paunchy bear will only achieve their win with all of you casting your votes.
This competition is brought to you through the partnership of Katmai National Park and Preserve, explore.org and the Katmai Conservancy. If you want to check out the live bear cams, you can find them here.
Ready to check out the competition for this year’s crown? Here is the 2020 Fat Bear Week Bracket for you to fill out! Then remember to come back to explore.org/fat-bear-week daily from Wednesday, September 30th through Championship Tuesday, October 6th. Remember, with great Fat Bears comes a great responsibility to vote!
435 Holly, 747 and 32 Chunk look like strong contenders this year.

Anyone know what model TV was being used?
Only we didn't have a spectrum analyzer so we just had to walk around looking to see where any cables emerged from the ground.

I am not putting my naughty bits anywhere NEAR a laser, thank you very much!
How else are you going to have sex with a robot?
Last I checked robot sex didn't include mandatory lasers
did they change the rules again?
When I said I wanted it to look like a Ken doll that is NOT what I meant!
It's fine, just use the, uh, Philippines Wax laser.
I mean, they're not _mandatory_...
