In Defense of the Switched Outlet
Added 2022-11-27 18:56:35 +0000 UTCIn this very silly and rather over-the-top video, I'm explaining and defending a very common thing in US home design. My spidey-senses have registered that a lot of folks just... don't understand this? And it's a feature I really, really like so I figured I'd yell at the internet about it.
Auto-captions are in place already, and I'll be adding better ones over the next couple of hours.
There may be one more No Effort November video - but it'll probably spill into December. Maaaaaybe I could get it hammered out but I'm not sure.
Toodles!

2023-04-05 03:16:03 +0000 UTCI missed this video when it came out and kept meaning to come back to it and finally did...only to find out it's not what I thought it was about, outlets where one side works and the other side doesn't...without any switch anywhere controlling it. I figured, "how does this happen? There's no faulty wiring in those things...there are no wires at all to be faulty!" It's at work and I have no authority to even take a look. Maybe it's one where that tab was broken for such use but never implemented, thus making one side dead.
