rtcity's wacky pictures

the time between the flash and the boom was long, and there wasnt any electrical interference with the lights around

even if lightening hits something non-electronic like a tree or whatever, lightning strikes cause electromagnetic disturbance across a wide range of frequencies which affect electrical power in the area. even if it hits just the floor or whatever, the local ground potential increases, and the surge is strong enough to trip out whatever power lines are around, even if they are underground

if this was a military base or some NASA shit, not a residential area, then i would believe that lightening hit close but it didnt cause a small power outage due to the special equipment used by certain power lines (stronger than the silicone-based material they use for residential power lines). there are some residential area, namely skyscrapers in say NYC or LA, where lightening hits frequently, but those buildings are constructed in a certain way to ensure maximum endurance from a direct lightening strike. cities where lightening often hits are able to maintain themselves for a certain amount of time, but arent totally immune to power outages that affect suburban areas and small urban locations

lightening kind of works like how an EMP works (slightly), by sending a high burst of electromagnetic forces to an area that can knock out power

tomoko i've had multiple lightning strikes hit houses down the street and the lights don't flicker because that's retarded

The modern domicile is safeguarded from potentially-hazardous electrical disturbances by the life-preserving aegis known to weather engineers as a "Pseudofumaric Etherimide Resonator", or "PER", for short. The captive frequency generated by the PER is such that, at a given, arbitrary amplitude PID-tuned for the particular mean frequency detected by a local operator, deleterious effects caused by the presence of a conservative electrical field can be mitigated by catastrophically-modulating its various fluxion states.

wow, so much buzzwords

The modern employee synergy is safeguarded from potentially-hazardous morale disturbances by the life-preserving aegis known to sales executives as a "High-thoroughput Viral Marketing Actuator", or "HVMA", for short. The targeted one-on-ones generated by the HVMA are such that, at a given, arbitrary integration of open-ended, work-from-home techniques and the encouragement of local operators, deleterious effects caused by the presence of degenerative employee conduct can be mitigated by catastrophically-modulating its various goal-oriented workloads.

whats awkward isnt the photos of amsk8rs house, instead, it is the fact that the pictures are of inside the house

dat fumo collection doe

there was a murder of crows in our neighbor's backyard

byutiful murder

somewhere in there a magpie tried to get involved but i think the crows drove him off

crows dont fuck around

i like crows a lot more than magpies because they don't fucking swoop at you and they aren't universally assholes

thats a cool picture

we had some sun dogs and either an upside down rainbow or iridescent clouds today

dat snow

Meanwhile in south anthony its hot
