With many of us traveling to Spain, seems wise to be cautious. This from the Guardian. And to think I was only worried about heat and floods.

Don't tell anyone, but I'm pretty sure it's because I turned on my toaster when I already had a fan and two other appliances on. It's a powerful toaster, what can I say.

There's no way a toaster could do that.

On the other hand, the inter-dimensional time-warp machine that I fired up a few days ago is a bit of a power sap. No idea if it knocked any grids out but, then again, I just got back.

You're not fooling anyone, Piwin. You were really crypto-currency (Bitcoin) mining and with the tremendous amount of electrical power needed brought down the entire Iberian electrical grid.

The Torygraph has blamed it on net-zero solar and wind power...[8|]
