I reminded myself today you can’t grab fire.
(I work as a dental lab tech. We use alcohol torches and bunsen burners. My brain derped when I reached for my torch...I “grabbed” the flame of my bunsen burner instead lol).

I've been using an archaic or outright inaccurate definition of 'civil war' for years, based on a news article I read years ago that I can't even remember the source for. Last night I actually looked it up.
