Default Dead miner - ferrite bead error

Oops! Why would a surface mount ferrite bead catch fire dramatically? There was as much smoke as lighting a cheap match.

AFAIK these things are placed in series with the device? So a short would simply be as though they didn't exist.

It was my fault for shorting the fan output. But that was connected directly to the power input and nothing to do with the busted ferrite bead. Mind you a loose fan wire could have touched the bead....

California lawmakers are now proposing an amendment that would allow 14 year olds a quarter vote and 16 year olds a half a vote in all state elections.
How stupid is this? Don't they have enough trouble counting WHOLE votes? How are they going to figure out fractions?!
