Amazing info from a slow cooker recipes facebook group. If only Fleischmann & Pons had put a clay pot over their experiment...

OTOH, they aren't exactly wrong.

BTW, yes, I am making fun of people that never took a physics class. Sorry, not sorry.

So glad you added that. I was about to delete and infract. Lordy... o0)
 
1) I'm not sure I'll EVER learn that sarcasm doesn't work online...
2) Really? no one here is that stupid, not even the stupid ones. OTOH, I don't see the #$@! that the mentors deal with.
3) Got to go now, I need to buy clay pots to put over each of my heater vents. Does it work for AC too?

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'
Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
