“How the hell am I supposed to work with this bullshit,” Morgan throws their hands up. “What’s wrong with it?” Alex asks, trying this technique Morgan has been teaching them called “using words”. Morgan sharply inhales: “What isn’t wrong with it, that might be easier to list.” They point at a juncture between two multi stranded wires, they seemed to be connected with some sort of silver metal and tied with another metal strap of some kind. “These splices here, first of all, that,” they point at the strap. “Is a hose clamp.” “Like, a rubber hose?” Alex asks. “Yeah, like a rubber hose, i.e. it is not insulating.” “And that's… bad.” Morgan runs a hand over their face. “Yeah you can fucking say that,” they say. “It’s a miracle this place isn’t on fire, we’re doing them a favor it seems. Get me the gloves.”

Have an escooter? Please consider wearing a downhill helmet to protect your face

As someone whose relatives have escooters, and someone who has seen a lot of close calls with strangers, I wanna share a little-known bit of advice for anyone who's looking into escooters, or who already has one:

If you're on an escooter, you get the most protection by wearing a downhill or full-face helmet!

DO NOT GO HELMET-LESS!

By 'downhill' or 'full face', I mean the helmets that bmx riders use, or motorcycle riders wear, respectively. It sounds like overkill but here's the thing:

Escooters have a very high center of gravity because you're upright on them, and they have small wheels that don't absorb impact very well. It's super easy to go over your handle bars if you even hit a tiny pothole! According to this study where 212 patients presented to an emergency room, 11.8% of the patients had dental injuries

A lot of these patients presented with facial lacerations and facial fractures. Overall, 44% of patients needed surgery (5.9% needed major surgery and 38.2% needed minor surgery), and 50% needed maxillofacial follow-up

All 212 patients in this study received a head or face injury. 82% of patients didn't wear a helmet

Some more articles explaining dental injuries from escooter use:

Dental injuries on the rise thanks to e-scooter use

New study from U of A professor warns of dangers of scooter usage

In this Korean study, most patients without a helmet suffered some kind of facial trauma

This isn't just a matter of speed, either. If you're not convinced how often people go over the handlebars at lower speeds too, check out the first 25 seconds of this video by Electric Scooter Guide. That's a lot of faceplants at lower speeds! Or if you want a full playlist of people going over their handlebars, I've got you covered. Again see how many of them are faceplants!

And at higher speeds? It's not good. MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING for gore and death: here you will find a graphic picture of someone who was in an escooter accident, they weren't wearing a helmet and they sadly lost their life

I'll link some reddit posts of close calls where the posters were really glad to be wearing downhill/full face helmets, these are either text-only posts, or simple pics of scratched-up helmets: 1 2 3

Most of these accidents don't even involve other people or vehicles! According to this infographic, 80.2% of escooter accidents are 'falls':

So, now what?

If you don't currently have a helmet and are considering getting one, yay! Your first impulse might be to go out and buy a regular bicycle helmet, but remember: a lot of these injuries happen around your jaw and the front of your face! A bicycle helmet doesn't protect that part! When you fall on an escooter, you're likely to fall in ways that are different from a fall on a bike. So consider a downhill helmet (or a full-face, if you wanna channel your inner motorhead)!

Yeah you'll look dorky, but you'll get home in one piece if you get unlucky on the way there 👍

Top 5 Safety Tips Using an Electric Fireplace at Home

Electric fireplaces are a popular choice in modern homes. And the reason is simple. That is why? They bring warmth and charm of a traditional fireplace without the mess or maintenance of wood or gas. Plus, their sleek design adds style to any home living space. But like any other home appliance, it's important to use your electric fireplace safely. To help you enjoy comfort and relaxation without worry. Here are some safety tips to keep in your mind.

1. Read the Manufacturer’s Manual Carefully

Each electric fireplace comes with a user manual tailored to its specific design and use. Read the manual carefully to familiarize yourself with the operating instructions. You must follow safety guidelines and maintenance instructions before installation.

2. Choose the Correct Location

When talking about safety, standing is important to avoid placing electric fireplaces near flammable materials such as curtains, furniture, and carpets. Leave at least 3 feet of space around the unit for modern wall-mounted fireplaces. Make sure the wall can support the weight and there are no obstructions such as power cords or plugs.

3. Regular Maintenance is Important

Regular inspections can extend the life of your electric fireplace and ensure safe operation. Clean the vents regularly to prevent dust buildup, which can block airflow and cause overheating. If your unit has replaceable parts like bulbs or fans, ensure they are replaced as per manufacturer's recommendations.

4. Don't leave It Unattended

Although electric fireplaces are safer than traditional fireplaces, it is not recommended to leave it unattended for a long time. Turn off the device before leaving the house or going to bed to reduce the risk.

5. Use It for Heating, Not Storage

Do not place items on top of the electric fireplace. Unless it is specifically designed as a shelf. Modern electric fireplaces have decorative properties. But it's not storage. For the strongest safety, keep the area around you organized.
