Lawn is mowed. All 13 toes intact. PPE put away to be washed according to instructions. One alarming thing, when I plugged the laptop power supply in it drew an arc. As they usually do. R is 0Ω when a potential is first applied to a transformer. Then the field builds up and it draws less current. Unless...
I do sometimes make light of the safety rules from work as applied to the home. They do apply at home as well. Stand to the side when plugging things in. Stand to the side with the open door between you and the breaker when resetting a breaker in an electrical panel. Use your non primary hand (I never do this, hard to remember).
I have plugged in a 115 volt power cord to a direct short and it did explode. The receptacle or outlet actually blew the steel face plate off and was hanging there. The power cord plug came apart. My hand and thumbnail were black. It was fed from a 15 amp circuit breaker. "Experts" said it was a one in a million thing. And it was all my fault. Whatever, just be ware.
I also make fun of the power equipment rules. The mower will take whatever it is offered. It will send debris at high velocity. Be safe at all times.
