This is a debate, not an argument, let's be adults about this. [Insert political joke]

Pros:

  • not as big as the UK plug
  • not an American plug
  • those power cords that stick out at a diagonal parallel to the wall

Cons:

  • no inbuilt fuses
  • no inbuilt guard on the socket
  • every plug and socket feels cheap.
  • thin shitty pins that bend easily
  • shitty sockets that break when shitty bent pins get plugged into them.
  • used by a handful of people with tight regulations โ€ฆ and China. Good luck getting decent affordable, certified, smarthome sockets.
  • that cunt who invented the vertically oriented twin socket wall unit. What a fuckhead.
  • those power cords that stick out perpendicular to the wall.
