What's the first rule of power tools, children?
Yep - disconnect from the mains before changing blades.
Rich didn't - we were cutting up an old sofa bed to fit it in the car and take it to the tip, and while I'm angle grinding away, he changes the blade on his grinder from ceramic to metal and catches the power button. Blood all over the place - but one trip to the local minor injuries unit later and he was seriously lucky. The tool swung round and caught him between two fingers, instead of the blade taking his finger off.
I knew we should have had a Health and Safety briefing before we started...

Ouch!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

That happened to my ex-BIL a few years back. Only he lost 3 fingers!

Does he fit in the car better now?

My father (who turns 85 today) was full of helpful lessons like that as I was growing up.
Two come immediately to mind:
Telling my brother and I never to go into the basement barefoot, then proceeding to step on an up-turned metal funnel and having it remove a half-inch section of his slipper and cut his heel.
And having the circular saw cut its own cord.

At least he wasn't barefoot. Imagine what sort of damage it could have done without the slipper.

Glad it ended on a less than worst case scenario.

So am I - I had visions of a bag of frozen peas and a very rapid drive to A&E...

Losing fingers is not the worst case scenario, but that too.

The SJWs would probably make a tuna protests.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

All you need is a watch. If it's a weekday afternoon, expect incoming pearls of wisdom.

CHVRN - Cold Sun[^]
So I found this new (sub-(sub-)(how many subs?)) genre last week called witch house.
A mix of various electronic music styles in slow tempo and lo-fi production.
Artists use weird symbols in their names and song titles (DI†▲ RΣDRUM - Ł0s† i₦ dRΣ▲m§[^] lured me in, but obviously didn't make it to SOTW  ).
Anyway, this CHVRN song sounds pretty good, a bit dark 
Perfect for those midnight moments sitting on the couch wondering whether you're going to bed or just sit there listening to more of this.

I'm 54 and I'm still willing to try to go with your music. I think if I listen more of your Music, maybe I can break the border
