Electricity is ****ing magic.

Seriously, that's all you need to know. My buddy works in energized services where they honest to god replace power lines that are still hot. The guy knows his shit backwards and forwards when it comes to electricity. He has a patent or two on some shit designed to keep strikes from coming from the earth at an aura or some weird shit like that.

And as we're wiring something up in my shop and talking about a jumper of some sort, I just got frustrated because I get lost as hell in that stuff. He just looks over and says "man, I'm not trained in engineering but the guys that I work with that are all tell me the same thing when my eyes cross - electricity is ****ing magic and sometimes that's the best answer we have"...

So that's what I go with. I can occasionally operate a multi-meter correctly. I sometimes remember the difference between volts and amps (though I don't believe today is that day...is amps volume and volts velocity? Shit, I don't know). Mostly I just electrocute myself a lot.

Electricity is ****ing magic.
