Of course they don’t, because Dessalines is too busy agenda modding to add new features.
Sorry but I can’t use .ml because I am banned for sixteen different dumb things, so this service is appreciated.
Another problem Piefed has solved by aggregating crossposts into a single thread.
I honestly feel kind of proud that I’ve never heard of it. Off the grid and shit.
There is no evidence that these are proper UL listed plugs or that they were installed correctly. There is tons of bootleg shit on Amazon that is clearly not up to code. The NEC is very specifically written with this exact situation in mind, which is why continuous current handling is the standard. The idea that there exists some lesser standards for home builds is a myth I’ve seen repeated over and over again and it simply is not true.
Is it possible that Home Depot’s supply chain is contaminated with knockoff parts? I guess. But the idea that there are somehow separate standards for home and commercial electrical fixtures, and that home Depot is selling people the former, inferior standard is absolutely, 100% nonsense.
