This seems like maybe a bad idea. Is it?

I'm putting an older oven into my workshop to do some baking of some small powder coated objects. The oven has a 4 prong plug. Our 240 outlet is a L6-30 3 prong receptacle. For various reasons, it would be exceedingly difficult to rewire the outlet. While deciding how to do this, I saw this adapter. This seems like possibly a bad idea, but then again, they are selling it, so it would seem it was tested and designed for such. Am I going to burn the shop down if I use this? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Do younger people in LA hesitate at attending free/cheap events in favor of paid events? Is there a suspicion that free must be a trick or scam?

A recent conversation was had between the producers and volunteers of a number of local LA free/inexpensive events and attractions. Things like the Chinese New Year Parade, Brewery Artwalk,, Joy Festival, June Jubilee, WeHo Halloween, Maker Faire, various free concerts in the parks, as well as cool, inexpensive events and attractions. And the consensus seemed to be that the demographics were mostly 40+ (or children with their older parents.)

On the other hand, Insomniac can charge $100/ticket and sell out State Historic Park to the tune of 20k guests, and young people will line up around the block and pay $40 to walk through some underwhelming "Instagram experience" like the Ice Cream Museum.

It seems when I was younger and poorer in college and such, we were always seeking out free/cheap events and going in huge groups. I'm curious if any young people can give some insight. One guess was that social media drives young people to want to be "seen" at expensive events for social credibility, while a free event gives no such cred. Any other insight? How can these events attract a younger crowd?
