  Yep. Exactly right.

  In North America, Christmas lights usually have a plug end and a socket end so you can connect multiple strings together in series.

  If you accidentally put the plug end at the top of the tree, it might be tempting to try to buy or make one of these cords so you don’t have to take the lights down and redo them.

  It is as dumb and lazy as it sounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some examples of series that only have a good first season, and should be dropped after that?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Heroes. The first season wrapped up its story beautifully. The second season was an aimless disaster.

  I’ve read online that the original plan was for each season to tell a stand-alone story with a different set of heroes but the network was insistent on keeping the popular characters from season one on for season two. Peter Petrelli’s power is universe-breaking after he learns to control it, so the show ended up tying itself into a pretzel to explain why the answer to every problem isn’t “get Peter to snap his fingers and fix it”. There was also a writer’s strike in the middle of the season, which didn’t help.

  I visited a former coal mine that’s now a museum. If you take a tour, you get a small piece of coal to keep at the end.
