Laughs in savage 16A

It’s actually hilarious how paranoid the campaigns to switch plugs off have made people. I have met plenty of people who switch sockets of devices that are not in use off AND unplug the devices.

I feel your pain. Also the lack of sockets in bathrooms and the low standard height of sockets is annoying.

Yes, and type F is an example for international collaboration that the British could learn a thing or two from.

Type G fans might argue that a fuse in each plug is super safe, and they have a point. But it’s made more necessary because of all the weird stuff that’s going on in the electrical circuits.

It’s an entertaining rivalry between the fans of these two plugs. I find the British plugs very large and inconvenient due to the fixed polarity. I’m aware of course of all the additional safety features. (People are always happy to explain those)

You could add 100+ safety features into a plug and it’d be as large as your fist, but it’d be a bit mad. I just wish someone with the right expertise could tell me: is it all worth it? Does the British plug get the balance right between user experience and safety? Is the type F plug unsafe compared to it?

The clever dripper is pretty nice pour over cone with a shut off valve.

When I’m making just one cup of coffee I use an aero press, for 2+ cups I use the clever dripper.

It’s okay not to know. English is spoken in a lot of different places in different ways. I doubt that in your 40 years you’ve explored this.

Google Trends shows that it’s most popular in Malaysia and the Philippines, relative to its use in other countries.
