    Once upon a time I went to pull an outlet splitter out of the wall, and it broke. It began shorting itself and arcing. Legit one of the most terrifying things I’ve experienced. I’m lucky nothing exploded and sent shrapnel into my eyes - a possibility I didn’t learn about until later.

      Quick question, is this one of the situations where ibdividually switched sockets and fused plugs are a lot better?

      If so, I don’t see why other countries don’t use at least switched sockets. Unless they do, and I just have never seen the switch.
