I want to run a really, reeeaaally long extension cord out to the pacific ocean, plug my toaster in and throw it in to kill all the fish. I suspect this won't work. Do I just need a bigger toaster or what if I throw my oven in, 220 rather than 110.  ?

This is precisely why the powers that be decided Canada no longer could be trusted with nuclear weapons.

Or the Stanley Cup.

First part gave me an out loud chuckle. Second part is why you're sitting alone in the woods waiting for me to drink coffee with you. Orrr you could do the math and easily see how the Stanley deck is stacked against the Canada. And let us not forget that "American" teams are flooded with CANADIAN players whereas "Canadian" teams are not. Canadian players, not unlike Canadian snipers are the best in the world.

Go PENS!      eventually      at some point in time     ?


Seriously, I really thought you were going to answer my question.

You can’t run 110 or 220 very far on a standard or even heavy duty extension cord very far.  I’m not going to try and explain the physics but the electrical wires running down a highway on the poles are very high voltage and then there is a step down transformer near the end user. The line coming into my pole is about 16kv if I remember correctly. You would need a conductor about the size of a culvert to carry 110 about a mile. 

You would be better off getting a boat with a generator and anchoring above a fishing spot. I recommend a 4 slice toaster.

Will you have Dunkin Donuts coffee?
That would be good, I like that stuff.

Crank telephone.

@juan
I have this old phone (one of many) this one is about 6 ft from my bar. I'm the worst electrician in the world but apparently, according to my dad I could run a wire along the edge of the bar to give someone a zap should they be in leaning against.

@KSM32 I don’t know if that would work or not. The ones people use to “telephone” fish are usually mobile units. But the crank is used to generate electricity, so it might work.

All of my gigs for the rest of my life have now been canceled. I need to do something to make money, so I’m thinking of getting into woo peddling. I’ve looked over the field, and it looks crowded. Can anyone think of a segment of the woo industry that is underserved? As I am not allowed to go to the beauty parlor for a haircut, I am beginning to get a bit of a @DaveScottSOR / Sandsquatch look if that helps.

PERFECT!
Toss in a side of the 27 CLUB nonsense, too.

With the travel ban maybe you could teach online classes in remote wooing.

If you must resort to selling yourself on the street, take the advice of @PolkaDot and deep six the facial hair. 

We could have @Exile give you a diploma and provide you with the appropriate CV to market your wares as a Citrus Whisperer. 

George Soros is sure to be paying for street urchins to protest in front government offices and Mar Lago to hold up all those preprinted placards that the SEIU stockpile with their nitrile gloves and N95 masks. 

Ever try sponge diving?

The current field of ''psychic'' prediction is pretty sad.  New faces needed. 

Come up with a different name for it and a bit of schtick (Ed Dames calls what he ''does'' ''remote viewing'', another fraud dresses like he's Nostradamus), make a ton of obvious predictions, have something to sell (books, classes, kits, phone line), do the podcast circuit regularly, play up your hits, lie about the misses, be mysterious and authorative, try to scare people.

Your avatar could sell motorboat rides.  Earn enough to keep you in the manner to which you have grown accustomed.

None of the current shows on the topic (that I listen to) take calls. I say start an open lines show with no guests just your listeners. They at least are real unlike ghosts, goblins, aliens and bigfoot.
