Default switching out 2 pin for 3 pin sockets in my victorian home


Don't get all excited. If the user gets shocked, 99 times out of 100 he'll
let go.


So how about the 1% so one out of a hundred die because the homeowner
didnt use ordinary care and intentially caused a hazard. Might be a
visiting child. While you might let go on a dry day a humid summer day
may be far different



As for maintaining a vehicle, what's to know? When you run out of gas, oil,
water, brake fluid, windshield washer, etc., you simply add more.-


So you run a 100 year or even 30 year old car, with no safety systems
like seat belts air bags and padded interiors as your daily driver?

Do you replace brake pads, inspect tires etc.

While your against rewiring a home that might cost 10 grand its likely
your driving a car that costs 30 grand or more and might last 13 years
till it goes to the junkyard. Thats the average age when vehicles get
scrapped.........
