    If eBay didn’t suck so bad, I’d say just use that as your “box”

    Heck, maybe what we really need is an online exchange. Mail in a cable, get a cable of your choice in return. So when you need some rare cable you’ve got it on demand… Just 5 days and $6 in shipping. Aww fuck it.

      When I buy anything electrical in the UK, they often give you a UK plug, a European Plug and an American plug. Over time, or if you use a lot of electric things at work, you can end up with a huge pile of plugs that don’t work in your own country.

      If they do similar elsewhere, we could definitely swap.

        @fakeman_pretendname @nucleative I was just thinking how grateful I am that my HD manufacturer did this and that I saved the extra plugs because I’m finding it difficult to find quality adapters for grounded US plugs here in Albania…

        The nice bit about the HD design is that it isn’t separate cords. It’s the same cord and you can slide in the proper plug type at the end of it.
