Didn't know if this should go in Off Topic or in the Cooking subforum, but last night I got a good example of why you should never leave an electric space heater unattended. I've been using this little heater by my desk at the apartment for about 3 years. I got it used, so I don't know how old it was. Last night I turned it on and it ran for a while, but eventually I noticed it was not running, even though the indicator light was lit. So I turned the thermostat knob to check and make sure it was cranked up like usual, and the knob came loose in my hand. I think the pics will show why...
Needless to say, I cut the cord off of it and tossed it in the trash.
