@nybill hey, electrical question for you: in a 110 outlet the ground plug goes on bottom, right?
-
@nybill right, but the orientation of the plug, I mean. They put all new outlets in kitchen renovation & they look upside down to me.
-
@jk Ah, there is no rule (There is a new Code book out. Maybe there is a rule now I don't know about yet?) Yea, I put the ground down.
-
@nybill ok I'll ask the builder about it. One of his guys might have just done it backwards. Rest of house has ground down.
-
@jk Unless its a new NEC (National electric code). Which I doubt. Most people put them down. Unless the house is all up (then match existing
-
@windigo One guy wanted all ground up in his shop. He said once a band saw blade fell behind a plug and shocked someone.
-
@johnnynull You know this for fact? (someone could be shocked, the breaker should trip. But, to die you need to pull amps through your body)
-
@nybill It was apparently big news. Discussed with the Elders while we were building the dojo.
-
@johnnynull Ok. It can happen. But, that would be quite a rare one.
-
@nybill No doubt. I imagine that's what made it a memorable story.
-
Hmm. Fix the "loose saw blades" problem, or turn the outlets upside down? I wonder...
-
@johnnynull krull! That brings me back. I had the atari 2600 cart as well.
-
@nybill Woah! Totally forgot that existed.
-
On that topic, another avatar I had in the can: http://ur1.ca/9kit6

@johnnynull I like this road one. It's purty.
-
Then I'll keep it. For a while. ;-)
-
@johnnynull Ha! I had that cart as well. What crap that one was!
-
@nybill Hell yeah it was. Add to that the landfill rumor, and it's a major win!
-
@johnnynull Yea, I read about that. That was funny.
-
@misstech haha it got a bit derailed after a while, kinda like in the linux outlaws forum threads. Fun times.
-
^ Implying there are rails to go off of in the #lo threads. ;-P
-
@johnnynull there are rails, so we know what is on topic, and should be avoided
-
Ah, THAT makes sense!
-
@johnnynull how can we be off topic, if we don't know what on topic is?
-
@x1101 That is the obvious and solid logic Douglas Adams would've high-fived you for.
