I mentioned specifically that it was convenient when you don’t backstab ( I assume that is when you don’t wind it around the nut?).
What kind of wagons are a hazard? I’ve seen electricians who recommend them

I don't get it, is this a fire hazard or something?

As someone who just rewired and added lights to a bedroom, I cannot recommend the Wago wire nuts enough. Makes everything so much simpler. I even put them in the outlets because it makes it way easier to disconnect an outlet if you have a "pigtail" from the wago nut to the outlet - if you need to disconnect the outlet, just unlock from the Wago, no need to untwist the wire from the screw on the outlet!

Shouldn't you have a measure of probability to say "no correlation" ? What if you are very certain (i.e. lots and lots of data) that there is a very small, but positive, correlation of 0.06? I've seen correlations of 0.001 that had a 95% confidence interval that did not include 0.

There was insane growth from Nov 2021 to ~August 2022, and from August to November 2022 we have had some degree of decline, but not much in comparison. So, i'm unsurprised by the sea of red/orange/yellow here.

Reply to comment by Kandiru in When it's said 99.9% of human DNA is the same in all humans, is this referring to only coding DNA or both coding and non-coding DNA combined? by PeanutSalsa
Originally though, the reference genome was that of the first sequenced human genome, which I believe belonged to J Craig Venter.

Oh for sure. I didn't realize Wago sold the backstab-type wire nuts. I agree the backstab type are less stable. My recessed lights came with one of those cheap backstab nuts and it definitely didn't hold the wire as well. I've pulled quite hard on a levered wire nut and it didn't budge, so i feel pretty good about those ones.
