i assume this is in relation to this cognitohazard

wouldn't that add resistance to ground path (avoidably)

color-coded screws? wtf

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 1 points 2 days ago

Yea, but at this point multiple things are seriously wrong

Even worse. Orientation of pins like this is used in 240V circuit which means it has two antiphase live wires. This means that after shorting them, if one trips but not the other (if these two have independent breakers - idk if code requires otherwise) 120V is sent to device ground, and this one can be cut off by GFCI if used, but i hear it's uncommon

If it was normal 120V circuit, breaker would cut off live and left neutral connected to device ground, which still can be some 20V depending on conditions

hot wire is in the socket, assuming it was wired correctly

this shorts live and neutral, ground pin is not even present (different shape) otoh if you need help wiring a plug, you probably shouldn't

Radio transmission doesn't require state-level capacity (yes there are other barriers like cost or skill) and waves don't care about borders. Receiving foreign radio was a big thing and it doesn't require special equipment

they're doing "yes/maybe later" on the public with this
