I always wear my tinfoil hat (my uCCW protection against unexpected lightning bolt strikes), fully loaded, cocked, and locked. Because "it" can happen anywhere, anytime, to anybody... and when "it" does happen, should John Wesley Lightning throw down on me, there simply will not be time to lock-n-load my hat
If I wasn't cocked and locked, I might just as well not wear a hat at all
Noobs who do not wear their tinfoil hat fully loaded cocked and locked are simply afraid of their own hat.
Based my my long experience as a cyberspace warrior, having survived many lightning bolt firefights in even the most harmless looking internet forums, I know how little time there is to react when "it" happens.
but constant awareness of your environment is also critical...
when entering an internet chat room, always look around, discreetly observe all present, and decide who to foil first, if it suddenly goes bad
(especially beware the poster whose hat you cannot see, they might be carrying a BUH, be alert, be ready to foil them first)
PS
I also carry high capacity reloads for my tinfoil hat (a large roll of Reynolds Wrap discreetly tucked IWB), and a deep concealment BUH.. back-up-hat
(foil underwear)
because you just never know when you might get unexpectedly caught in an all out SHTB (sht-butt) lightning storm, and need to repel multiple adversaries intent on unilateral strike woobie wars
but do be aware of tinfoil hat AD/NDs
and always treat every tinfoil hat as though it were loaded, whether it really is or not
