    I just spent 3 hours deciphering a junction box with 4 NM (Romex) cables and a light fixture, AMA.

That was 2020, and I am still managing the residual neuralgia. It also tripped me over into long COVID, which you also don’t want. To be clear, I am incredibly lucky to have had excellent and accurate care, and I’m much less impacted than many folks. But don’t take medical advice from people who want you dead. Get...
