  • There are also several YT videos with trauma surgeons and ER nurses rating the injuries sustained by Marv and Harry. Even the innocuous ones would leave them permanently scarred, most would cripple them for life, and a good couple of them would be instantly lethal.










  • B is being slept on in this thread. I mean, look at it - you get northern Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, the northern Balkans, Sweden, and Finland. If you like pasta, pizza, grilled meats, fries, potatoes, sausages, licorice, a mindbogglingly large number of breads and cheeses, etc. etc. you’d be stupid not to pick that region.





  • Same. I remember needing converters for these newfangled PS/2 connectors. Then again, I am old enough that I remember why floppies were called floppies, and used tape for more than just backup. And hard drives being as big as a shoe box and with less storage than you now have as CPU caches.

    I was going g to comment how I have the thing pictured, but that it comes with several real drawbacks. Not just mosquitoes either. Imagine having to buy and operate your own snow plow to leave the house in winter. Or buying groceries in bulk because the nearest Walmart is a three hour drive.


  • Fine, I’ll concede that on a new outlet type B has a decent grip on the plug. Sadly, the majority of outlets I’ve interacted with over the years are worn to the point of being just as bad. Plus, the fact that you can have an appliance plugged in and working with part of the prongs exposed is just a safety issue that should’ve been fixed decades ago.

    But okay, I suppose that goes for type A as well on top of it being an inferior design so I’ll retract my statement.
