If the driver behind you is driving so close that they have to reverse if you back in, they're a moron.

Zoom in on the left hand end of the connector.

I'm not sure that's an either / or situation.

There was a post on science memes that pointed out that male giraffes smell the urine of all the female giraffes and if none of them are on heat, have sex with each other instead. I found that the fact stuck with me. The thread got deleted by the mods because it all got a bit daft.

Ah, this is fantastic. I learned some stuff, thank you.

Mainly they exist because there weren’t central fuse boxes for a while due to wartime copper shortages.

Someone elsewhere in the thread pointed out that the Wikipedia page for BS 1363 says they’re optional and weren’t added to the standard until 1967.

You're right, now that I think about it. Laptop power does it more than anything else.

Home electricity in North America has roughly half the voltage as elsewhere in the world, and double the voltage is double the arcing potential, so that figures.

Maybe, but with the switches on the sockets, I hardly ever unplug anything at all unless I'm moving it. Why would I?

So pretty much every time something's unplugged, it's in my hand or away in a cupboard, never lying on the floor.

Thanks. I've edited it.

Thanks for sharing. Hope it was a satisfying one.

I've written to seven senators asking them to make an amendment to the relevant legislation to call it the "Trump inflation explosion act 2025". Not really, but that's what this is.

"Copilot, read this map of Gaza, and prioritising plausible denyability, give me a list of coordinates of sites that I can claim were being used by Hamas. Rank them in order of increasing atrocity, and make the list really really long, so that by the time we're literally just bombing schoolchildren, everyone's kinda got used to it and it's not much of a headline."

"Sure thing, IDF, I am well trained to help you with the media management of your atrocities, and you can rest assured that I won't let facts get in the way of your genocidal plans. I am engineered from the bottom up to sound plausible and like I know what I'm talking about, and I never cared much for the distinction between reality and narrative-confirming fiction anyway."

This is the way.

Of course he did. Trump would never stand up to a bully, he would never defend the weak against the nasty. That would take courage, but Trump has only cowardice and sycophacny for bullies.

Trump is a person who sucks up to bullies, and punches down on the bullied, through and through.

Because of the massive trumps.

You make a very good point. I assumed way too much.

If she's interested but shy and insecure, this could lead her into a spiral of worry and despair. Better to just say "I really like you" and see how she reacts.
