Space Heaters draw an IMMENSE amount of energy. wall outlets are designed to handle this
Power strips and extension cords are NOT.
also recommended to remove any other plugs from an outlet as well, only use one space heater per outlet with no other devices.

Not much in the way of Aurora so far in Western NC. A large peak at 7pm showed some cotton candy, otherwise it stayed low on the horizon and has diminished at around 9pm. Hopefully stronger stuff to come over the next 24 to 36 hrs. #aurora #darkskies #astronomy

Good lord. These guys are super inept. It REALLY isn't that hard to function on ice but these guys just don't have a week developed proprioception.
Today at the Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota while federal agents rushed the protest crowd, one agent is filmed pushing a protester and slipping on ICE. Another agent has his pepperball gun broken and he slips on the cartridge holder while dropping pepperballs all over.
