I came up with this question right after I wanted to take apart a microwave to see why it wasn’t heating anything before I remembered that that’s a very, VERY bad idea

    DO NOT backfeed your house’s electricity with a generator when your electricity gets shut down. You might electrocute someone working on those lines.

      At least have it set up downstream of the main shit off and make sure that main is off before firing up the generator. There are devices available commercially that do that for you but they aren’t cheap and require professional installation.
