    Over here, one dead, one critical, 13 displaced in separate dwelling fires sparked by pirate fireworks displays. One dead from a police-involved shooting at an officially sanctioned fireworks display. Innumerable lesser injuries and property damage, but still too early for a total.

    Complaining about fireworks fallout in our day and age is like complaining about not harvesting electorstatic discharge from our clothes for energy. What! We create SO much pollution producing just the food we eat that fireworks fallout (once or twice a year activity) is way below noise level to even that activity (food production).

    I complain about calling magnesium 'stars' blueberries.

    You simply must understand how this physical structure causes effect seen in sky.

    I love fireworks and I love to eat. Therefore I am going to be the cause of the Earth's demise, you watch!

    Not a good place to hide@32. With internet at one's fingertips, there are most surely lazy questions.

    It is safe to put a flame under blueberries. Beyond that you are on your own.

    For heart effect @33, rotation must not be imparted on shell by lifting charge. I have no idea how they manage it. Grucci does :)
