I guess the state of Florida doesn't have an exclusive franchise on folks doing dumb stuff...

BTW, it’s also a mistake to try to heat your house or vehicle with thermite.
Using a giant parabolic reflector to focus solar energy on your house or vehicle could also be a bit risky.

Wisconsin has some very strange folks.
Most of whome wear those orange hats with ear flaps 11 months out of the year.
To: ZirconEncrustedTweezers
They should have a law against stuff like that

At least she wasn’t in it and she is still breathing to tell the tale. I can’t believe how many die in their sleep trying to warm a tent with charcoal.

Reminds me of the time my dad suggested to a lady from church that she put a trouble light next to her dead battery during a bad cold snap.
After 2 days it still wasn't turning over. When we went down with a charger, we discovered she was using a florescent trouble light. She said she bought it because it was more economical than her old one.

The underside of that bumper is plastic.

Gasoline itself doesn’t freeze, but some of the additives might. At -100F, you could have a gasoline Slurpee in your tank.
But that probably isn’t likely anywhere outside Antarctica.

Burning Coal? Doesn't she know what it does to the environment, the planet? /s

Ironic that she is from a town with a name meaning “Lake of the Torch”
To: Slump Tester
That’s another downside to the incandescent bulb ban. A drop light occasionally comes in handy for fitting close-tolerance parts together as well.
To: The Unknown Republican
Also ironic is the name of the post’s author. :)

Well, by golly, I think we’ve found a solution. We just need to make orange hunting caps big enough to fit over a car, and Wisconsonites’ problems are over!
