There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Wow, good clips, thanks. You may be interested in this long but highly-informative video:

Nikola Tesla was "The Man"... many levels higher than Edison.

I read in the comments section that this was caused by tree trimmers. I'm sure their insurance company wasn't happy. I saw another video in a safety meeting of an auger truck that got up into the power lines. It arced and sparked and heated up until the tires blew out and started on fire. A buddy of mine sent me some pretty nasty pictures of what humans look like when they try and steal copper for live high voltage lines. Not pretty.
