@tim I've had interchanged neutral/earth before. It works perfectly well until you throw an RCD into the argument.

@kuulman it's because the screws are brass. Being a fairly soft metal it doesn't take a countersink very well and cams out easily damaging the screw.

@krijnsoeteman we are just that safe here. There's about 15 safety features designed into our plugs. It's just a shame they're worse than Lego when it comes to standing on one in the night.

@evcricket ironically, neither does AI since the fuse isn't actually in-line with the flow of current. Thankfully it remembered the live to earth short circuit.

@purplewolfboy clearly put in using a drill. Likely the one they used to bore the channel tunnel.

@dan @hans_zelf @cyplo it's just an absolute mess. I don't even know what the black wire is about - that would be L2 from a three phase system and never appropriate in a single phase plug.

@Szescstopni shame it'll blow up everything it goes near.

@seb321 it's two/one phasing

@hans_zelf @cyplo breakers operate quicker than fuses, so often the breaker will trip but the fuse will be fine. It's not the case if you've got an old BS-88 fusebox though with the rewireable fuses and wire.

I'm an electrician.

I dare you to use ChatGPT to wire a plug.

This is why AI is absolute horse shit.

@catsalad awwwwwwwwww

awwwwwwwwww

needs so much more awwwwwww

That's adorable.

@stefan ooooh AI feedback loop. Should I set the microwave popcorn going yet?

@vkc I didn't just quit Bluesky - I've been here a while - but I decided to create my own instance and simultaneously reduce my presence on Bluesky; but the events of the last few days have flipped me totally to the Fediverse.

Winding down my Instagram too, and turned off threads.

@Mab_813 @randahl the behaviour of Trump may force their position. Putin must be sitting there rubbing his hands in glee as his right wing ally divides the west.

@pattykimura @ChrisMayLA6 I truly hope you're right, not just for your people but for world peace because one man, voted in by the stupid crayon eaters is undoing work that took years to do. The USA is a laughing stock around the world because of him and his MAGA hard of thinking cronies.

@randahl not forgetting 5 countries in the EU who aren't in NATO after he attacks the territory of an EU nation.
