someone nearby is selling a psvr (v2) set with two controllers for 120€, camera and all, and I'm mighty tempted

@unascribed some sort of json query language, we could call it jquery

@onfy well, I do know about the part with the boarding schools but I didn't learn that in school

@onfy 's not like I know much about Canadian history

@onfy sure, there was plenty of destruction, especially in cities and heavy industry, but the country didn't start from zero lol

@onfy I mean, they didn't raze the country

@onfy German industrial standards are actually a product of WWI

@onfy uhhh, most things did, post-war germany had better things to do than redesign their industrial standards

@onfy how so?

@onfy oh, Schuko is pre-war, that makes sense

@onfy like, it's a classic "trick" to screw a blown fuse back in with a bit of tinfoil around it

@onfy pretty sure the joke is that people do that all the time even though it's unsafe

@onfy it's interesting that post-war Germany didn't come up with sth like that but instead made the most overengineered plug possible… or it's newer, I don't care to look it up rn :D

@onfy no I get that they only have them because they needed to save copper post-war, but for extension cords it'd make sense

have I ever posted about how I'm mad about Tom Scott's "the British plug is the best" video because Schuko is so much better

@onfy honestly the british way of putting fuses in plugs sounds pretty sensible at some point
