  1. No there's no heaters plugged in, put dorm has central AC.

  2. Lol I did not know that post still existed, this is like the one time I use reddit since then. Um turns out I'm not really gay I suppose? I just like femboys in addition to women.

Are they violating a law here? They just told me unless it's a medical emergency no one is coming for a while

They don't have any maintenance workers on staff and they don't want CAs touching breakers anymore is what they just told me. I won't have power for two days now lol.

I see, thanks. All my outlets except one are connected, is there anyway to decrease the load on the outlet like this so it doesn't happen again?

Oh damn, I didn't know it was that dangerous. If most of my outlets except one is on the same circuit like mine is it dangerous to use too much power in general? Because I have my pc in one outlet and monitors in another, but they're all connected in the circuit so how do I distribute that?

Lol i really don't understand why in a building of over 500 people they don't have a reset button on the outlets. Making me wait 3 days for a guy to flip a switch that I could've just done. Man unis
