This is a stand alone because it so precisely sums up every complaint I have had about the "experts" for the past decade. They always imply the "science is settled" and you should just shut up and believe what the experts say.
As a scientist, I have been crushed to hear the stupidity...that you are not supposed to question. My most concerning moment came when they started to dictate masks. I looked up the studies for using masks for viruses...and they all said they were useless...especially for lay people who wouldn't use/fit them properly. I then went back to those studies a few weeks later and they had been taken down...WTF. And not because the data was found to be faulty, but for political reasons.
Fooled one time is a lesson, fooled twice is a choice...never again.

Whats the most regrettable purchase do you ever remember making ?
What movie scene in what movie shocked you the most?
Sometimes you just have to laugh. A while back I had my driveway expanded.
A lamp post had to be removed. The guys said they would tape the wires before burying them under the expansion. I guess they didn't.
While the rain let up, I noticed a small amount of smoke coming up through the gravel. It smelled electrical.
I called the non-emergency fire department number and of course when they arrived, it had stopped smoking.
So they checked out what they could, but there was really nothing to see.
I shut off the breaker. Sadly, that breaker also controls my bedroom.
Don't ask, it's the house that Jack built.
Honestly, it's just part for the course of my life.
Tomorrow I will call an electrician.
Comical, it's all comical.
