Found this in a jar full of pens.

It's basically just the piezoelectric crystal thing used in lighters, that creates a spark, intended to let you "itch" bug bites without scratching them and damaging your skin.

Basically, yeah.

I have however made the scientific discovery that nail keratin does not conduct electricity...

If you want to relieve the itch from bug bites, heat up a spoon over a stove until it's hot to the touch, but not so hot you brand yourself, and press it firmly on the bite. It denatures the proteins in the toxin.

Yep, same reason you can't use your nails on your phone screen.

Would zapping a bug bite make it feel better?

Huh. Might have to try that this summer. I react pretty bad to US mosquitoes and they swell up like crazy.

Gonna be branding myself with teaspoons.

Huh, I guess. My nails have never been long enough that it doesn't pick up anyway.

It does somewhat work, but not for long. Probably just the same as scratching it, only without risking infecting it.

My girlfriend gave me these for our anniversary.

Probably office facilities. It's got to be annoying to have to customize a desk setup to toddler-height ergonomics.

"Dear Tu, I heard rumors that people think you're not awesome. I'm telling you to not listen to those rumors."

That's not very comforting lmao

Some douche.

One of my coworkers raises chickens, and she got six new chicks today on her lunch break and brought them to the office for us to see and hold them.

 

[Crystal]

Aww, cute!

Jokes on me then because my company has ZERO investment in making my work station ergonomic. My chair AND my back-up chair are both broken. One leans to the side if you sit too much into it. The other lost it's back support years ago. My legs be dangling from both. People ask me "hey where'd you get all those post its?" My answer is "Costco."

I was just being a butthead for humor, but that legit sounds terrible and you should complain. Or sue.
