Wait, I never noticed!
I can use a fuse with a safe value and still get tasty molten cheese every time I need to replace it?
mechanic: So, does it make any noises or can you smell anything burning?
customer: I can't really hear anything, maybe a little hiss or sizzle once in a while. And nothing burning that I can smell. It actually smells really good and I'm getting hungry!
mechanic: aha! I got u fam.
