I just spent alot of time posting!
I see that, looks like you hit a small bump.

What happened?
Well, someone set up us the bomb?
I'm serious!
Oh, well.. looks like your post got pulled.
Augh! I spent alot of effort on that! How did it happen?!
Couldn't be because you were doing it wrong?
What the, how'd you get that video of m-- uh.. I don't even wear that!
Right Skippy. *cough* Well, since you asked, here's how posts get removed.
First, if it is against TOS it gets seen.
Then it gets marked.
Okay, I have that much.
Then the mods gather:
Pictured, mods gathering.
I don't think that's how it looks, I..
Look, do you want an answer or not?
...Yes?
Right, carrying on.
Then they back their vehicle up to your post.
Whoah! What the heck is that thing?!
It's a machine, that eats other machines.
With this:
I don't see what this has to do with my post vanishing, can you tell me wha-
Watch it question boy! I have a flamethrower!
You want to vanish like your dog did?
What the?! No, not Roozer too!
To be fair, your dog WAS drunk.
What?! Who would even... please don't point that flamethrower at me.
Right, and after they saw your post off the entire forum, they set it on fire.
Wait.. that man. His face, and fire! Oh GOD WHY?!
Oh, HIS post was all about his face, so the mods set it on fire.
After that, they used the ashes to open a gate between our world and theirs, like this:
BLECH! That's horrible!
And those tentacles! GAAAH!
If you think that's bad, you should see what happens when the mods get their hands on a bad thread.

Oh look, here comes a mod now.
Looks like they want to ask you about that thread you just posted.
Gaaah! Tell them I'm indisposed!
Pictured: Moderator, dunno which one.
Tell them yourself, they're right behind you.
Wait, don't run away!
We haven't gotten to what happens when they edit your thread title!
This concludes our sordid fictional tale.
If you liked that, we have plenty more in the book "Oh the horrible things you'll summon!" rumored to be written by IamnotaMod
It’s more like a troop-ship.
Gah, I’m typsoing all over the place today, even my email!
Same here.
“owrd” is the new one today.
Beware the owrd! He’ll pull your head off, and then the owrk will gnaw your bones.
I had to make half a dozen corrections in that line, and I’m not even drinking an adult beverage. Maybe it’s the glare on the screen.
Sunspots!
Sticky finger prints and cat nose-smears.
I can’t drive when I’m crying. It’s too difficult to see through the tears. Good thing that doesn’t happen frequently. (Last time it happened, we had lost our poor little dog, Buster.) Life and death are the only things worth being concerned about. Please extend my sympathy and encouragement to Elen.
Fortunately, Elen wasn’t driving, and I was philosophical about it all. Nothing to be gained by fussing.
My mom isn’t arriving until after noon tomorrow, so we’ll have time to visit the DMV again, if she feels up to it.
I have days like that, and my first impulse is to just run with it. But then, I think, “No one will understand a single word I’ve written!” and go back to find the typsos.
Sometimes all you can do is give ‘em a hug.
I’ve got a copy of your Driver rules and Regs.
Reading with interest.
Goodnight folks.
Good night and sweet dreams, Mr. Moose!
Strangely, "owrd" brings to mind something that could be capable of slicing your head off, and "owrk" does sound like something that could gnaw your bones....
I’ll give you my Washington plates then. I don’t want them and I’ve had them in the trunk of my old car for ages.
Thanks for the replies.
So a DC motor can generate electricity when powered by my push, but an AC could not?
“Aligned electrons. Um....Magic!”
Isn’t it though? Absolutely magic.
You left them in the garage.
That’s how the language works around Darksheare.
She didn’t want a hug, but I offerred her several variations on “No big deal,” and then let her go to bed to cry for a while.
I never have a problem with fog.
Well, almost never ...
That's about it. AC's problem is that it can't bootstrap its current. Without electricity, it's just spinning coils of wire, much like a bicycle wheel. It just spins.
However, a little battery power can be enough to get it started producing more power. That's how the alternator in a car works. It needs the automobile battery for proper functioning.
Another interesting experiment is the "magnetic mirror". Place a magnet over a superconducting metal, and the induced magnetic field as it approaches the superconducting surface is expressed in exactly the opposite direction. The magnet ends up floating in the air!
