I leave mine unplugged. It would be nice if they would turn off.

It's all Science Magic to me. I am continuously thrilled that the world is filled with people who are much smarter and more curious than I am.

I'll sleep a little better knowing the quiet strip flickering under my aquarium isn't a ticking time-bomb though.

We have a VR system set up in our living room. I don't even want to talk about how long it took me to figure out the receivers were making a steady, high pitched noise. There are 4 of them and they are situated near the ceiling.

I hear it from a lot of things when it's quiet enough. Clock radios, tvs, monitors, my pugmill, heaters. There was a noisy power strip with a flashing one-off switch that I'm still convinced was going to kill someone.

I DON'T know anything about electricity - so mostly it makes me anxious that my house is going to burn down. I have bad enough hearing loss that I have to use closed captions on my TV - but it IS mostly because deep voices are extremely muddled. I'm surprised a bit by how many "not really" answers I see.

 

From my flash sheet last month. I do a lot of drawing as part of my apprenticeship, but pre-made designs don't sell very well here. I'm glad she took this one though - it turned out cute.
