For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

ah yes, a suicide cord. that's why there's warnings about them in every hardware store.

you can't stop stupid, but you can inform people they are stupid.

yes, it works in a pinch, but when you're cold and stressed when power goes out at 3am will you remember to plug it into the wall first? will you remember to cut off mains before you turn on your generator? will you remember to do the steps in reverse when power comes back?

I'm harsh because I've almost killed myself with one before, because I'm an idiot who (just like everyone else) thought, "I'm smarter than most people when it comes to this stuff".

get an interlock kit. save yourself and the lineman.
