I recently got one of those steel electric kettles that have a base, on/off switch and auto shut off, it's the type with the same shape that's rebranded and sold by many different places, and I see that the manual says you have to disconnect the cable from electric socket after you're done using the kettle - what is the reason for that? It's a bit inconvenient. Is it only to prevent shorts from accidental spills on the base? Does it waste energy when it's off? Something else?
Question about electric kettles..

The new biycles have more warnings than the new ladders. The switch to complete the circuit is inside the kettle. The base would have exposed electrical potential. I'll have to get out my VOM and start probing around to see if easy to access. I'll guess not from the look of that male/female seat. I dont think there would be a problem if the kettle is always seated to prevent some kid from sticking his knife inside who would already be dead from sticking his fork inside the outlet.

But still, why would you want an electric bicycle?
