Melted

Whoops! For some reason a triple adapter decided to melt. Two things were plugged in at the time, both rated at 1kW, one switched on, one not. Both devices are still functional and undamaged. No fuses have blown, including the one in the photo, although when I noticed the problem (the day after I was using the 1kW device which I switched off normally the day before) neither device would operate, presumably the fuse had fallen out of the holder. I can only assume there was an arc due to a loose fuse? There was a slight dodgy smell when I was using the device yesterday, but I couldn't work out what it was.

They can easily look it up on the Internet if that curious.

But Birdbrain has said obliquely that he's not interested in learning the difference between hacking & cracking. And there's not much we can do with someone who is willfully ignorant. If he wants to be the poster child here for abject stupidity, don't waste any time trying to educate him.

Anyways, I'm glad to see both of you still kickin' around. Take care.
