Electricity in garage, bad?
Two biggest worries as a homeowner: water where it shouldn't be and no water where it should be.
- Yes! 80% of home ownership is essentially water management.
Do you know anyone who actually uses power over Ethernet? Every motherboard I've ever bought supports it, but I don't know anyone who uses it.

Although the inverse, networking through your power line certainly used to be a thing. It looks like people still do it sometimes.
- I use it on every phone handset at work... I guess it's the switch PoE not the pc mobo but the effect is the same. If you are talking pc mobo PoE I guess it could be handy if you had a PoE camera...
- PoE is amazing for certain devices. Cameras (including video doorbells), and WiFi equipment.
- I use a powerline network adapter to this day
  
  That's Ethernet over power
lol ring reference
The "Oh no"'s were particularly great
No mention of the chimney.
- For "people" it would be Santa. The "smoke" row would be fun.
