[ID: "Cold weather reminder. Do NOT plug space heaters into power strips or extension cords. Plug space heaters directly into the wall outlet. Power strips are not designed to handle the high current flow required by a space heater and can overheat causing a fire."

A photo is attached of a power strip with an extremely charred end. Part of the power strip's wire is also charred. End ID]

My husband, an electrician, told me I have to reblog this.

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

For clarification's sake, is this true everywhere? I ask because I know that different countries have different quality home electricity provision; American home electricity Ain't Great compared with most of Europe, for example. In Wales I have never heard of this being a Thing, but our electricity comes in 240V flavour, so possibly the higher current naturally avoids this issue?

[leonardslee]

My British husband (not an electrician but electrician-adjacent) says yes this is true in the UK as well - anything that uses a lot of power should be plugged directly into the wall rather than an extension lead

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

Good to know, thank you!

Pseudocyphellaria billardierei

Folks often underestimate how big lichens can truly get, often becuase they mistake large lichens for plants. And I couldn't really blame you for thinking P. billardierei is yet another epiphytic plant making itself at home on trees and shrubs in the rainforests of Australia and New Zealand. BUT if you get up close and poke at it a little the lack of veination along the lobe surface, the lack of roots or rhizomes, the rigid lobe texture, and the apothecia reveal it to be lichen! This foliose lichen has long, linear, dichotomously branching lobes that grow in tangled bunches 5-30 cm across. These lobes are foveolate (with pits and depressions (like lungs)), with a gray to gray-green (when dry) to bright lettuce green (when moist) upper surface and a gray lower surface dotted with tiny, white pseudocyphellae. Along the lobe margins it produces apothecia with dark red-brown to black disks surrounded by roughed, tan to red-brown margins. Lichens are slow growing, so if you see a large, healthy P. billardierei in the wild, that is the sign of an undisturbed, old-growth forest, and you should feel very lucky to be in such a rare and vitally important ecosystem.
