Yes, not much use for a current meter, but I was arguing that even though you can get a shock (jolt) from the black wire with respect to earth ground, you can't make earth ground work as the return to the power plant. (
Thats what started the issue, because it was suggested that electricity using earth ground would be a good way to generate H2 all over the place. I just said you have to have a second return wire path, thats all.
Now if you do bypass that meter, do it is gradual steps so the power company computer does not catch on
Oh, there's sneaker ways to get your power for free, and may not even be illegal.
For instance, convert your basement into a separate apartment and rent it out. Then when you get separate meters installed, just tap into the basement apartment's fusebox for your power upstairs...hehehe.
You can do the same for gas and water too. And there is such a thing as a mixing valve. What these are good for is to use only a PORTION of the basement apartment's gas and water for your use, that way you don't get caught...and you can even adjust the mixing proportions too...hehehe. Oh us rednecks have our ways, yes we do indeed.
