The British one. It has a switch and a fuse, and later versions have age-verification so your kids can no longer plug in your adult toys.

Had me in the first half. Well played.

And your adult toys must be licensed, of course. To protect the kids.

Its important you don't allow them access so you need to keep them on your person in a place thats very hard to access. So hard.

Your last sentence is a double entendre?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

You'll need a broadcasting licence for that, mate.

Only if they're charged.

P.S.: since battery cells need to be disposed properly, they are now an 18+ purchase.

Age verification on batteries?

Nah, they're too power limited. What you really want will require a 3 phase hookup to the bedroom.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Just be careful, three phase hookups = potential hurt feelings and messy drama.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Hey now, let's not give BSI and NESO any ideas mate.

I'm actually kinda surprised that more don't have switches, but I suppose if you have radial rather than ring circuits you don't have to play 'hunt the appliance that tripped all your switches' quite so hard
