I just plug it in. The AC/DC converter is supposed to provide protection. You won't go any farther than frying your power supply, if that, and it's relatively inexpensive to replace if something does happen.Trent DeWhite wrote:It particularly helps when it has a relatively long battery life.Me wrote:When a thunderstorm comes in, I just switch to my laptop, which is relatively protected.
It's currently 75 degrees outside. We're expected to get high 70s for the rest of this week. Yay.

At your house.

If you'd been zapped (:shocking:), we wouldn't have the joy of your presence here.
Don't give me a heart attack like that again, okay?

I think it got up to 62 today............maybe a little warmer just before the thunderstorm hit...............then it started storming............warm at first, but got rather cool rather fast..............now I'm just guessing it to be about 60.

well those little digital clocks / thermometers around town claim that it's been 85 to 88 today.............I beg to differ........mowing lawns and such it was a little closer to 185.

I need to mow the lawn tomorrow. It's supposed to reach a high of 81 degrees tomorrow, so I'm planning on mowing really early in the morning (like 9AM).
We had fairly nice weather today... in the mid 80s. Got some pretty scary looking thunderclouds, but the 12mph wind blowed those far away.

*becomes afraid*
I kinda ditched outta work (with legitimate cause) today, but I saw in the paper that it's going to be 92-95 for the next couple days, then like in the lower 80's which is still really hot when you're mowing lawns.
*goes to begin drinking at least 3 Litres of water daily so she doesn't dehydrate out there*
