I read an article saying one type of the pagers that blew up was an Apollo AP-900, which uses triple A alkaline batteries, so there's no way a battery overload could have caused that.

Would one of those adjustable arms work? Something like this but not necessarily that particular one. (It's the first listing I saw, I'm sure there's better ones out there) https://www.amazon.com/MOUNTUP-Adjustable-4-4-17-6lbs-Computer-MU0004/dp/B07Z7ZGHD5

The door parked itself, I parked the rest of it.

I've owned a car like that. Drove that thing for years until the driver's side door fell off and I parked it.

Reading that I had to check my area, and it's a whopping 1518 people in 205.11 square miles or about 7 people per square mile. You got us beat by a long shot.

Elvis.

A crappy porn site I think.

No, sorry they've all kicked the bucket...David Bowie and Prince died in 2016, and Kenny Rogers died in 2020.

Edit: Oh, now I get it.

Yup, I just knew I was going to regret asking...

I have a feeling I'm going to regret asking, but what kind of "incident"?

I don't know if my energy levels had anything to do with adhd or if it was just a unrelated companion, but I've always been that way. Sugar was banned in my house I think because my mother thought I'd implode if I got my mitts on any. I couldn't even sit long enough to watch a whole movie from start to finish until I was in my 30's.

Sitting still and not being bored senseless. I was a hyperactive kid with adhd, having to sit anywhere for more than 10 minutes was the bane of my existence.

Ya unfortunately I went the same school as her and it's my area (Portage-lisgar) that kept voting her in for some reason, despite her having the IQ of a wet sock.

Oh ya, it's fine.... It took a while to get used to having slightly shorter fingers, and it feels weird as hell when you bump things with them without the normal fingertip padding (Now it's just skin and bone hitting things) but I'm used to it.

By sticking them where they didn't belong... kind of hard to explain but I was working on a friend's lawn mower and lost my balance, I tried to push against the mower to hold myself up but my hand slipped, kind of bounced off the ground and the mower blade managed to catch them.

It didn't really hurt but I was more mad at myself for it happening. I brought the fingertips to the hospital but they were kinda smooshed, and they had to take a bit more bone out of my fingers so that they'd have enough skin to close it up.

Kidney stones. I've had the tips of two fingers on my left hand chopped off, and even that didn't come close to the feeling of a kidney stone rattling down the pipework.

I have Medullary sponge kidney, which in short makes my kidneys a stone factory. It's a love/hate relationship at this point. On the plus side, I've found drinking at least 2 liters of lemonade every day has done wonders to stop my kidneys from feeling like they're trying to kill me all the time.

We know. One of our conservative MP's even ran around with a MAGA hat at one point.

Or like the warning on my corded electric shaver- "Do not use underwater."

Makes me sad that I can't shave in my tub while I'm making my morning toast.

He's a master of disguise

I think I'd prefer to just be shot.
