They have had enough

Last afternoon, my rice cooker quietly retired. Not a single sound. I didn't even realise it was gone until I walked into the kitchen and checked on the meat I was cooking in it.

The indicator lights were all snuffed out and all I smelt was some hot metallic gas coming out from the pot.

Last night, my wireless, optical mouse stopped moving for good. The battery in it leaked alkaline. When I removed it, I got a minor alkaline burn on my finger tips. A new battery could not make the mouse come alive.

Electronics and electrical items really have an accurate live-till date. Once the date comes, your equipment goes. How exciting.
