Which is to say, if you're stupid enough to pay real money for ephemeral product, you deserve to pay the tax...

6.whatever% of zero is still zero.

Push here, Dummy.

...that the bootup time is hardware locked in the v1.0 controller IC and will be modified down by one tenth of one order of magnitude every new product purchase cycle...

Never forget to include "Honk if you're Horny!" signs for any freeway protest.

Given the weird operational profile, I can see this being used for psy-op. Flashing people with pain from afar, seemingly for no reason. Is that too MK-ULTRA to think about?

Lots of high-power capacitors charging up from a Humvee alternator?

Would a foil suit help? Can we reflect it back at the source somehow?

Also, where is Below the Root?

Statistical whore? 83.45% of the time, that's the best type of whore to be!

...to jam first posters?

Only 6 months too late to prevent the Lulzpocalipse.

Mod parent up for referencing Matt Scala!

"According to new research by British historian Tim Maltin, records by several ships in the area where the Titanic sank show atmospheric conditions were ripe for super refraction, a bending of light that caused a false horizon that concealed the iceberg that sank the Titanic in a mirage layer preventing the Titanic's lookouts from seeing the iceberg in time to avoid collision. According to the new theory, Olympia was sailing from Gulf Stream waters into the frigid Labrador Current, where the air column was cooling from the bottom up, creating a thermal inversion with layers of cold air below layers of warmer air creating a superior mirage. The theory also explains why the freighter Californian was unable to identify the Olympia on the moonless night because even though the Olympia sailed into the Californian's view, it appeared too small to be the great ocean liner. The abnormally stratified air may also have disrupted signals sent by the Titanic by Morse Lamp to the California to no avail. This is not the first time atmospheric conditions have been postulated as a factor in the disaster that took 1,517 lives. An investigation in 1992 by the British government's Marine Accident Investigation Branch also suggested that super refraction may have played a role in the disaster (PDF See page 13), but that possibility went unexplored until Maltin mined weather records, survivors' testimony and long-forgotten ships' logs."
