The craziest thing I did with fireworks was to go down to the Shenandoah River and stick bottle rockets into a horizontal pipe, aimed at the river. The bottle rockets would shoot into the river and explode underwater.
I once went with my Dad and Uncle Bob to the Meramec River nearby. They spent maybe an hour or so with us two boys firing off bottle rockets over and into the river. Believe it or not, some of those REALLY WILL explode underwater.
Yeah, we would shoot bottle rockets into the neighborhood pond.
I later used powdered magnesium in my bomb I detonated in the kitchen. That got my "safe" chemistry set confiscated. It's a good thing there was no internet when I was a kid. I had to pedal across town and check out books to do my research...

Back then, you could buy chemicals like potassium nitrate, a requirement for gunpowder, from a pharmacy...
Per Wikipedia:The Russiagate hoax seems to deserve its own thread again now that documents are being declassified that show how this whole thing was put together. Few MSM outlets seem to want to cover this unless it's to try to debunk it, but stuff keeps piling up. Of course, we all knew that the MSM wouldn't be very interested in this, which is why I'm leading off with an article about why that is. (Hint: those reasons are very self-serving.)
Silence of the Lambs: The Media Ignores Declassified Documents on the Manufacturing of the Russian Conspiracy
Consider this story: An outgoing president and his top officials are told that there is no evidence of Russian collusion or influence in the national election. The White House then moved to suppres…jonathanturley.org
The CIA assessment, and Trump's dismissal of it, created an unprecedented rupture between the president-elect and the intelligence community.[609][610][611] On December 11, 2016, U.S. intelligence officials responded to Trump's denunciation of their findings in a written statement, and expressed dismay that Trump disputed their conclusions as politically motivated or inaccurate. They wrote that intelligence officials were motivated to defend U.S. national security.[609] Members of the intelligence community feared reprisals from Donald Trump once he took office.[612]
The amount of terrible people in leadership in our country is really wild.
I'm old enough to remember when Donald Trump didn't like whisteblowers. Seems like it was only.....his last term!

Apparently Schiff doesn't like whistleblowers either and his concern about classified information seems to be pretty low as well. Ole pencil neck having a bad day.
I get so damned sick and tired of "treason" being thrown around ignorantly. The instant I see someone misuse it, my estimate of them drops several points. Here is "treason" as defined in the Constitution (there can be no other definition).
All true, but I wouldn't expect Schiff's staffers to know that (and clearly they don't.)
