This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

People need to stop using gender with cabling. It's confusing as hell. They're plugs, which mate with (plug into) receptacles, and there are pins, which mate with sockets! Is a plug with sockets male or female? What about a receptacle with pins?

if it has pins it's male because it shouldn't have any power. feminist electrical theory.
