That's right! I was trying to remember what that particular ridiculous meltdown was about.

I knew what this was without needing to click on the link, lol. Yes, a rather nasty punishment. All of these, of course, were intended to deter folks from being a bit too rambunctious. Another one I like is the Brazen Bull, which has the wonderful ability, through pipes, to turn the victim's horrible screams into soothing music. Who the hell thinks these things up? And yes, I called for crucifixion to return, but that's a pretty sick punishment as well.

This is a prime example of why tattoos are a very bad idea unless you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that you want that permanently, not even taking into account the moral debate about them in the first place. When I was a young Airman, I briefly thought about getting one, but I really couldn't think of anything at the time that I wanted displayed permanently on my body. What happens for this young man if he has a change of heart?

I will try to remember to get back to you on this. It will be some time until I even will be able to get a Powerwall, but I would like to, eventually. Our house runs on electric only and was built in 1985. We used to have an outrageous average electric bill (~250/mo), but this dropped about 75% when we did all of the following: replaced the ductwork, replaced the AC, changed out the insulation and installed solar. We also could never get our house really cool enough until we did all of that. As I said, our house was built in 1985, and we had the original AC unit when we moved in.

Last year my father passed at 88, and has left us a moderate inheritance with which we intend to get entirely out of debt (except the house, which we will pay off when I retire in a few years). Hopefully there will be enough there to also get a Powerwall installed.

They really don't understand free thought very well, do they?
