I spend far too much time on the computer, and in recognition of this fact I decided to make a switch that would prompt me to do some much needed back stretching.
For this chiropractic exercise I used my New York baseball cap, copper tape, an orange that my roommate gave me, a quarter, and an old piece of string.
The plan was this: I’d use some copper tape on an orange sitting firmly on the floor. Then I’d tape a long piece of string to the brim of my hat, measure the amount of string necessary to just reach the orange while in a full forward lumbar stretch, cut the string at that point, and finally attach a quarter to that string’s loose end using copper tape. I did all of that, and it turned out just fine. I plan on connecting the two conductors to an LED setup in class tomorrow.
In the ideal scenario, I would’ve simply stuck a quarter into the orange to use as a conductor, but I only had one quarter and I preferred that quarter be used to stabilize the string. In the end, I’m kind of glad that I only had one quarter, as the orange would’ve otherwise spoiled overnight, and I’d still prefer to eventually eat the orange so that it doesn’t go to waste.
In the doubly ideal scenario, I would’ve had a battery to use and wires to connect to a breadboard and LED light. Nevertheless, I got a good back stretch in, and so, in the end, I feel younger and more flexible than ever before.
