      It’s dangerous as hell, but it’s something people used to do on knob and tube wiring in old houses.

      Christ on a bike, don’t say shit like that to me – my house was built in 1886. O.o

      Codes changed after any number of fires…

      Just keeps getting worse from there. Some outlets in this place have seen all the world wars.

      There are more efficient ways to give me a heart attack, you know.

      BTW, I think your detractor is probably too scared to take me on

      I think you’re right. I was sticking around for the next volley of meme-facts, but it looks like the match has been called. :)

          It’s all good, lol.

          I’ve been here for 20 years. If this place was gonna immolate me, it’s had plenty of chances.

          Thanks for the info about what to look for, though!

        Sorry if I have to sleep at night I guess?

        “Meme-facts”… Sorry if I provide actual sources instead of relying on personal feelings and experience.

      You sound just like a COVID denier, hope you realise that? “My experience is true, people who researched the subject and found sources from those in the industry are wrong. Let me show you with anecdotes instead of sources to back my point!”
