On a forum I frequent, someone said they had a power strip where the outlet was looking scorched. they'd plugged a dryer into it and wondered if the burnt look was a bad thing
Electricity kills - but its easy to use - so does that excuse grown adults from at least knowing some BASICS about safe electrical usage???

Most people don't know anything about electricity, other than they plug things in and they turn on.
Safety wise people know 1.) don't stick fork in outlet. 2.) If it fits, it must be safe.

Can anyone tell me if this question would be appropriate on DIY?

Q: Incandescent to CFL Wattage Conversion

ZiplinQuestion - I have a lamp that is rated to 60 watts, with a disclaimer that when using CFL bulbs to instead use a 13 Watt bulb. Do I really need to respect that disclaimer? Would not a 23 watt CFL be just as safe to use? It's still drawing less power than a 60 watt incandescent, right?

they should have picked a better icon for the video
Not sure how much it will help the lack of women here, but this is an offshoot of a tech site, so, who knows.

I noticed at Lowes, they sell pink tool sets for women. Maybe if we add more pink elements to the site, we'll get more female contributors.

Yes, because that's the problem.
Okay, I love you guys, but I have to concentrate on Parenting. Shocker, I know.
