Seeing as they came with just about every one of those square power adapters since for-fuckin'-ever.

Oh. That’s not a cord though. That’s the thing that gets thrown in a drawer because using it with the power adapter is a disaster.

What's the best stereo system for metal? There's a huge trend of shitty little Bluetooth speakers that just don't do quality music justice.

I've got a pretty decent Denon A/V receiver (new, recommended on here actually) and 4 Klipsch floorstanding speakers and a center channel speaker (used from Facebook Marketplace, like $300 cash?). No subwoofer (yet) and bass is still not a problem.

If I had any surface mount keystone boxes, I'd trim that shit up.

But I don't.

So it gets coiled up and velcroed until I remember to buy a surface mount box.

Then for God's sake, don't take pictures until you're actually done.

You won't find me saying something's "all wired up" with half a spool of shit velcroed to a joist, even in a project thread.

it's illegal here to do your own wiring. Only licensed sparkies can.

I'm sure you're allowed to replace a fixture.

 

[Valve1138]

Technically here you need a permit and a license to replace a light switch.

What do you think would happen if a licensed electrician actually pulled a permit for a fucking light switch.
