@baqui63 You’re right, I came here to say this. The plug is on the bottom half of the unit, and it looks like it’s a little higher than the outlets on the front so it probably covers both outlets whether it’s plugged into the top or the bottom.

So you get 4 new outlets and 8 USB plugs.

Unless you have any of those weirdo single outlets.

@baqui63 Alternately hovering over the two pix on this ebay auction for the same item makes me think the bottom on the thing will cover the other outlet, but who knows for sure.

@baqui63 @djslack I was thinking the same thing, I can’t remember ever seeing a single outlet fixture on any wall.

@djslack Wouldn’t you still be getting an extra two outlets by plugging this into a single?

@djslack @ltruelove I think he’s saying he doesn’t have any single outlets. I don’t either, and I’ve never lived in a home that had one.

@altoidbox @djslack @ltruelove If “he” refers to me, I do have several single socket (aka simplex) outlets which are separate 20A circuits for in-wall A/C units.

Note however that I would not use these three-outlet-plus-two-USB-thingies in any of my simplex outlets, primarily because these things are rated for only 15A.

I was talking about these things covering both sockets of a standard duplex outlet, which is unfortunate because it means that at best it adds a single socket to a duplex outlet, but for things that are wider than a standard plug, it only adds the two USB and the surge suppressor.

@baqui63 @djslack @ltruelove I was actually referring to djslack. But I don’t know any of you people, so maybe I should watch my pronouns.

@Hopkins3030 I have several, on a separate circuit next to the sleeve for an in-wall A/C unit. Not trying to suggest these would be useful for an A/C, but meh-be?

@Hopkins3030

They’re not that uncommon.

@JT954 I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw this. The swivel feature of the Volt model is so nice.
Come on, Meh, it’s been a year. I expect to see bigger and better products. Not inferior ones.

@JT954 @rework like chicken thermometers?

@PlacidPenguin no idea what you’re talking about.

@dave

I still have that tab open.

@kdemo [joke about hubmen having to pay cash, because if you plug in a phone, they don’t charge]

/giphy uproarious laughter

@kdemo And if they were lucky enough to get multiple hubmen in their fuko…say four…I’m sorry, I can’t do the math…

@wankan12 it looks like a sad clown to me.

@wankan12 Yeah… I saw that too, but didn’t want to be the first to comment on that.
/giphy Fuck Hitler

@wankan12 -

@spiciernoodles Anything can become anchored if you shove a nail through it.

@frozenshades @spiciernoodles This is how my first marriage ended.

@danman940 @spiciernoodles but I’m sure your mantle looked amazong

@frozenshades @spiciernoodles Or use enough duct tape.

@pafloogled
Actually, there were several regiments known as Coffee Regiments; see http://www.missouridivision-scv.org/mounits/coffee6mocav.htm for instance.

But I think you are correct in describing a malapropism.

Personally, I follow a coffee regimen several times a day.

@hey_zeus BANG!

@PhysAssist Yep - right to the head…

@SoftAsFur Look how close those sockets are! my plugs would only fit 2 into those sockets, lol. But hey.

@SoftAsFur Whatever do you mean by an “Illinois outlet”? Google says it’s a store that sells crappily-made merch for cruddy prices.

@PhysAssist building code in Illinois has all oulets Horizontal… unlike the rest of the country where your outlets are Vertical.

@shahnm IN THE FRIDGE!!!

@yakkoTDI
/giphy Winner!

@harveydanger my guess is that if they were, they’d have made some space near that ETL logo to say so.

Leviton says that they use ETL rather than UL because they are faster, and that they are equivalent Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories.

@harveydanger

No, but they’re ETL certified…

@djslack

Heh. Was just looking at that about Leviton.

@harveydanger They are ETL Certified, which basically means the same thing as UL Certified. You can read one article about the about the differences in these certifications here: http://info.triadmagnetics.com/blog/ul-certification-vs.-etl-certification

(And I see I’m way late to this party.)

@djslack Thanks (and thanks to everyone else that answered), that’s helpful.

@baqui63

Thanks for the info link! Nicely explained.
Reddit concurs; https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/nrtllist.html

@phatmass Exactly. What good are the safety covers if the entire unit can just be pulled out of the outlet?

@kylejwilke You are on the west coast. You are supposed to be relaxed already.

@ponagathos relaxception. This holds true, one exception is fuko bag days.

@ponagathos 10:50pm and def feeling it. Takes longer to set in. Different feeling then melatonin. Realy feeling it behind my eyeballs, like they are getting heavy. Taste was pretty bad, like a weak cough syrup. But yeah, it works, goodnight everyone.

@dlw65 Half of what Meh offers has the same problem. I have commented before wondering if Meh is the one selling on Amazon. If so, at least they are not also making fake reviews.

@surfeit yup bulky 3 prong plugs such as those for PCs will only fit in two of them these are made for those smaller 2 prong

@goldnectar Umm welcome to the next chicken thermometer fuko item?

@goldnectar @Kidsandliz YOU GET AN ELECTRICAL FIRE! AND YOU GET AN ELECTRICAL FIRE!

@frozenshades @goldnectar and with the chicken thermometers you get food poisoning if you aren’t careful. This could be fun - use the fire to finish cooking the chicken.

@ruouttaurmind

You only need one outlet to provide electric to a cactus though.

@PlacidPenguin True enough, but watt about all these tumbleweeds?

@ruouttaurmind

I’d star that post, but I don’t like wordplay.

@PlacidPenguin That hertz. You’re not being farad. I amp just having some fun!

@ruouttaurmind

I was just composing a revised list of Arizona related items which are not toxic, poisonous, harmful, deadly, or can sting, bit, maime, kill, decapitate, electrocute, or otherwise cause physical, mental, emotional, or psychological harm.

So much for sending it though.

@ruouttaurmind Provided one could rig those so they wouldn’t be stolen out of the yard they’d be pretty cool to have.

@Kidsandliz I’d be less worried about thieves and more concerned with vandals.

@ruouttaurmind

Sounds like you need some coral snakes.

@TheTallMan are they trustworthy with not burning down my house is more like it…

@Eschguy @fastharry Tomato- tomaaato

@SSteve It worked! Your order number is: discouraged-didactic-lift

@fastharry ETL tests use UL standards.

@fastharry this was gone over fairly thoroughly last night… The ETL certification is equivalent.

@djslack anyone can put anything they want…esp. in China…Anything that has the capability of creating a disaster I don’t have it China made…esp. from a new listing.

@fastharry Your preference is fine, but by that logic, why wouldn’t someone who could put anything they want just print a UL logo then?

@djslack i would trust a usa maker to not do that before i trusted a chinese company…

@fastharry Because no American company has ever falsified UL listings? Federal Pacific StabLok, anyone?

@Dengue @fastharry @narfcake That a little harsh isn’t it @Dengue?

@Dengue smart enough not to buy them…

@fastharry @narfcake @therealjrn Oh, I was just being silly. I’ve never been the type to actually check for that type of thing though. No fires yet!

Don’t you trust meh though?

@CosmicTwister Four for $20 vs one for $11.99… I’m trying to see the advantage to the more spendy one and the only thing I can come up with is that I’d be able to purchase the $11.99 one after 6 AM EDT tomorrow. (I am VMP and I doubt these will sell out.)

@baqui63 @CosmicTwister Wrongo Keebler, it was sold out when I arrived at 17:20 EST.

@baqui63 @CosmicTwister @PhysAssist Well done, @snapster.

https://meh.com/forum/topics/why-sellouts-are-our-goal

@CosmicTwister @PhysAssist True… it sold out!
