What if you've already reached your potential? You might actually be living life to the max right now, and it might still suck.
Reasons to build Tesla coils:
You like the noise and the look of the sparks
You want to be 1337
You need a huge phallic symbol to compensate for something
People pay you to build them
God forbid, you actually want to learn about electrical engineering by means of hands-on experiments
My new year's resolutions:
See how long I can manage without a car, since my car failed its MOT and had to be scrapped.
Spend less time messing around on forums and stuff, same as Avalanche, or at least learn to manage it. I find it tricky because I use the net heavily for work as well as leisure.
Get my goofy nerd teeth fixed
Become the 4hv counsellor for threads disturbed by Simon's brutal moderating

I'm guessing MOT has a different meaning here. I can't think of what a MOT would do in a car, except maybe kill carjackers. Incidentally I'll be doing the same since I don't want to give up half my salary for a car(and public transport is a viable option now).
If you fix your teeth will you still be British?
I'll resolve not to be an all-feared 4hv moderator. And to learn dutch(or at least numbers).

haha, I was the opposite when I first joined 4hv, and I couldn't figure out what people meant when they said they needed an MOT for their coil. I thought at first it was just some ongoing forum joke that I had missed
MOT here means Ministry of Transport (test), but I'll admit I just had to look that one up

Stop anoying people with my posts
Finish some projects, if I ever get to it.
Clean my room (very unlikely)
ps. learn to arrange these lists properly?
duh.
I can't think of what a MOT would do in a car
- Inbuilt deluxe microwave oven - supply for a tesla coil in car - igniter for hidden potato cannons - capacitor charger for hidden electromagnetic ejector seat - etc.

It's the Ministry Of Transport annual test that your car has to have, to prove that it's safe to drive. Or not A lot of countries have a similar thing, they just call it different names. My car would have needed over £300 of work to pass,and it was only worth about £250...
Firkragg, when I get my next car, I want Tokyo Drift Power and a hidden potato cannons :P
Ben: No, the Queen will take my UK citizenship off me as soon as the brace comes off.
