Hooooly christ am I glad my young dumb self listened to a classmate and wrapped the paperclip with a rubber band.

Hooooly christ am I glad my young dumb self listened to a classmate and wrapped the paperclip with a rubber band. My brother once somehow managed to accidentally get a cheap, metal bracelet he was wearing to lay across the two top prongs of a half-plugged-in Type I. (this one:  )He was thrown halfway across the room, and had 3rd-degree burns for about 5cm either side of the chain, and 2nd-degree burns all over his hand and up past his elbow.

I suspect they will change the logo within a year once the main family festivals stop booking them for having a penis-logo. Talking of which, have an old favourite:

Australian ones (Type I) actually have the prongs slightly bent in, so that there's some positive pressure keeping them in the socket.

Someone's probably done that in real life at some point. People really frickin' love dressing up their horses in weird costumes.

Mister Adequate posted:Type L looks cool though, good for you Chile If by "cool" you mean "having a polarized plug is impossible" then yes! Very cool! Unless I'm being daft...I don't see any way to keep someone from inserting it upside-down, which is fine if you don't need to differentiate between hot and neutral, but there's a LOT of electrical equipment that does need to differentiate.

gbut posted:C, E and F types, the most common ones used, are not polarized. Equipment should deal with it as it's alternating current after all. The electronics can handle it just fine, it's more a safety and appliance design issue - when designing an electrical appliance (at least, one that conforms to electrical standards), you need to take a lot more care with the hot wire than with the neutral. If you use unpolarized plugs, suddenly the "neutral" wire needs to be protected to the same standards as the "hot" wire.

This is on Granby Street in Leicester, I live 2 minutes way from there. It's been that way for years. The owners know. Street view The funny thing is that apparently even the council are aware of the signage but keeps signing it off as totally ok. The building itself is scheduled for a revamp as its grade II listed yet the most common concern raised by the public is if the sign will go. So they keep it.

Frostwerks posted:You'd think that would warrant a "Notice" instead but some people just looove being dramatic. Yeah, except people call the cops on people who own old horses. I guess they get pretty awful looking as they age so people assume they're being mistreated and call the authorities on the owners. We had a farm near me put the same notice out.

Alabaster White posted:Wasn't there some actual study that found that a really astonishingly high number (like, 97%) of all convicted pedophiles were Star Trek fans? It wasn't a study, just a statement released by the LAPD. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellen-ladowsky/pedophilia-and-star-trek_b_5857.html The Huffington Post posted:The LA Times recently ran a story about the Child Exploitation Section of the Toronto Sex Crimes Unit, which contained a mind-boggling statistic: of the more than 100 offenders the unit has arrested over the last four years, "all but one" has been "a hard-core Trekkie." Blogger Ernest Miller thought this claim was improbable. "I could go to a science fiction convention," he explained "and be less likely to find that 99+ percent of the attendees were hard-core Trekkies." While there may be quibbling about the exact numbers, the Toronto detectives claim that the connection is undeniable. Also of note, domestic pool deaths triple in years that Adam Sandler movies are released.
