minus-squareLemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down3·1 year agoWhy do you have 2 different outlets? Different amperage/voltage?

minus-squarestinkycheese@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoThat can’t be safe right? Surely the screw should be placed somewhere without contact of the plug.
minus-squareSchmuppes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·1 year agoThe screw is recessed, it will never make contact with the plug. Also, the plugs are made of plastic where the screw is located.

minus-squareSchmuppes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoI’m asking myself why there doesn’t seem to be any ground pins.
minus-squareslazer2au@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoBecause the house was built before ground wiring to all sockets was mandatory so I only have 2 wires in each outlet.
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·1 year agoBecause OP has very unrealistic expectations in life.

minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·1 year agoI was making an apparently too subtle joke about not being grounded as a person, extrapolating from there 😁
