A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks

Have you watched The Vanishing? The original Dutch version

Sorry for the off topic everyone 🙂

No problems on the off topic, @devinplombier ; anyway I had to google to make sure I was thinking about the same movie, and the one I saw had Kiefer and Jeff Bridges (and since I wasn't as tuned to actors and actresses back then as I am now, I just realized Sandra Bullock, who I usually enjoy a lot).  So I am thinking that this is not the original Dutch version.  Anyway, I think I've only watched that movie once, but I do remember that it bothered me ('bothered me' is the best I can do at the moment) considering the notion of someone being put in a box and buried alive.   Man, that would be terrible.  I can only imagine the insanity that would precede death by hypoxia.  But I do not like to imagine it.  I typed that it was way up high on my list of ways I don't want to die, but thinking about it, it may be at the very top of that list.

I've seen a couple or so movies since that involve someone being buried alive in a box, and it never fails to get to me.  I almost cannot watch it.  

. . . since we are already off topic, I'll go on to say that whenever I work underneath one of my vehicles (which I do frequently) I do a real THOROUGH job of supporting it.  Going out that way is also high up on my list of ways not to, although I would prefer it to being buried alive in a box.  Thinking of working for an extended period of time in 18" of crawlspace made me think of that.  The crawlspace, however, would trigger my claustrophobia while being underneath a vehicle doesn't.  

. . . staying off topic, @devinplombier , this all made me think of another movie I saw a while back ago, and I had to do a google because I forgot the name of it, but it was The Last Descent.  Anyway, it was apparently based on factual events that occurred in 2009 in a cave in Utah when two brothers were out spelunking together and one of them decided to go down a tunnel that led just about straight down (as in inverted) where he got stuck and (after doing another google) spent 27 hours before expiring. And as I remember from the movie, he was so stuck that they never did recover his body as the risk of collapse of the cave would have been too great.

I remember watching that and being overcome by my own claustrophobia.

That's the scariest movie I've ever seen.

@immatthewj sorry, I do understand that you already have multiple dedicated AC lines in place.   What I should have said is that it sounds like you have decided to configure those to use in place of your glorified power strip. My main general point was that there are much more glorified power strips available now, and much more glorified cables available to connect them to the wall, and that those cables can make a very big difference.

My snarky comment about 12 AWG vs 10 AWG AC supply wire is based on personal experience.  YMMV.  Running separate lines as you have should reduce any issues. And yes, running 10 gauge wire through ceilings and walls is more difficult than 12 gauge.
