- The angled blade pins ensure polarity will always be the same.
- The ground pin is longer than the live pins, meaning it’ll always make contact first, and last when you pull it out.
- The Earth pin is located on the bottom, meaning when you pull down on it, or if something drops on the plug, it’ll pull away the live pins first.

For the past month I’ve been developing a NixOS platform for local businesses.
I keep overestimating how much people know. It’s infuriating trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I don’t need to explain why it’s amazing, just that it is, and it works. I feel like I’m Mugatu talking to Zoolander at times.
Even if I could perfectly analogise what a declarative operating system is, it wouldn’t matter to a client because they don’t understand how a non NixOS machine works.
Though, the worst part is trying to explain to someone, who is “happy with Windows” why they should not be.
How the fuck do people in 2025 not fucking loathe Windows? There’s fucking ads in the start menu. There’s like 4 different places to change settings. The systems bloat and slow to a crawl as the OS ages.
It’s fucked.
