I did that one time during a power cut. Set off the smoke detector.
But, it did a nice job of warming the bathroom.

The theory being that by the time the water gets to the end of the
hose, it's lost its heat. I don't know how effective this is, but I
did hear it mentioned on the AM radio one time when there was a power
cut near me.

The spray from a shower gives up heat a great deal faster than
a hose will. More surface area, for one thing.

Ditto the Y2K flop. I figured there'd be lots of NIB generators at all
the garage sales. There weren't.

All the Y2K buying and early computer upgrades were probably part of
the economy run-up and subsequent slow-down.

During the Y2K flap EVERYONE (with no brain cells, which is a lot of
people) was buying generators. Yet there seemed to be no super deals
on used generators on Jan 2nd.

Political Correctness

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority and
rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible
to pick up a turd by the clean end.

harbor freight has low cost enerators for under 200 bucks you can get a
2000 watt unit, enough to run a fridge OR gas furnce, OR one sem mjor
load and some lights

Cool thought! I wonder if we can create a new situation just before the
previous one peters out thus having a continual growth spurt.
