I'm an electronics hobbyist. This triggers a panicked sequence of shutting off every power switch and yanking every cord within reach.

I once had some lipo battery leads accidentally touch and weld themselves together, and the second I saw that glow and smoke, ripped the wires apart with full force.

Now imagine doing that with SLA batteries

The fastest way to liquify a wrench.

Happens to me once every few months. It always turns out to be a smell from outside that's made its way into my apartment. Usually someone's beat-up, overheating car being parked under my window.

I was thinking of pc hardware, 3d printers and such, but yeah, outside smells are bad too xD My computer mouse kinda just started stinking today

Turn up the radio should cancel that out.

Oh I know, I'm talking about the same thing. It usually happens to me when I'm sitting in my simracing rig which is next to my PC and a window. I'll be worried thinking my GPU or wheelbase has started burning when in reality it's an overheated car radiator or something right out my window.
