You almost killed yourself over a dozen times, but your advice to the inexperienced person above is a few safety tips, not much better “just be careful”.
The only reasonable advice is to not even touch the stuff unless you’re an expert with plenty of training. Especially since there’s nothing to be gained except satisfying a useless curiosity.
- detaro 8y agoWhere do you see advice of "just be careful"?

- zaarn 8y agoI almost killed myself over a dozen times and yet I'm still standing. If you don't take advice about handling high electricity from someone who experienced it a couple times, from whom do you take it then? I will gladly touch stuff to change my lightbulb, I'm not gonna consult an expert for that. Or swapping fuses and other, similarly, simple procedures that are reasonably safe if you are "just careful". Useless curiosity is where the majority of human progress comes from.
