This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Does the smoke come out of your dick, or do you not know how conductivity works?

Yes, the line is live, but the test unit only functions once..

Disclaimer: I've never used my test probe in such a way.
