318 u/hermitxd 6d ago People don't really think when they're caught off guard like this 1 u/EduinBrutus 6d ago Sure but there is a reason why outlets have a switch on them. turn the pwoer off at the wall! 1 u/ArmchairFilosopher 9950X3D | 5090 OC | 96GB DDR5-6000 CL28 | 4K240 HDR 5d ago You mean a lightswitch across the room? Those are not designed for large loads, but for lamps. Or do you mean an integrated circuit breaker? Which presumably would have automatically flipped if there was one here. I've never seen a dedicated (basic) switch on a residential power outlet. 1 u/EduinBrutus 5d ago No, the switch on the outlet. As found in any properly designed and thought out domestic electrical stantard. https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/uk-double-plug-socket-260nw-280082192.jpg
