🔥 That power strip is working harder than a coffee shop barista during finals week! ☕

Your gaming setup + space heater + hair dryer all plugged into one strip? That's a recipe for more than just a blown fuse. Overloaded outlets cause thousands of house fires every year.

Give your electronics some breathing room:
✅ Spread high-power devices across different outlets
✅ Unplug what you're not using (yes, even that old printer)
✅ Check your power strip's wattage limit
Your house (and your wallet) will thank you! 🏠💡

FACT FRIDAY 🩸
Did you know? Blood loss of just 2-3 pints (about 40% of your blood) can cause shock and become life-threatening.
💡 LIFE-SAVING TIP: If direct pressure isn't stopping the bleeding, pack the wound with gauze or clean cloth. Push it deep into the wound and apply pressure on top.
Wound packing can control bleeding when pressure alone isn't enough.
When seconds count, YOU can be the difference.
