Blew a circuit breaker with my homemade fog machine at a Halloween party last weekend
Had my DIY rig running for about 20 minutes at a friend's place in Austin, and suddenly the whole back porch went dark. Turns out the heating element was pulling way more amps than I calculated, and the host's fuse box couldn't handle it. Anybody else had to rewire their setup after an embarrassing outage?

Oh man, I mean that sucks but honestly it's kind of on you, right? You gotta test that kind of stuff at low power first before you plug it into a house circuit.

People skip the basic checks on all kinds of stuff, not just electricity.
