    "Oh, I forgot to bring an outlet adapter for this Germany trip for my chargers!"

    "Don't worry, I've got an outlet adapter at home."

    The outlet adapter at home:

    Photo of a standard US dual power outlet faceplate installed onto a typical US in-wall electrical box, attached to a long, coiled up cable that ends in a european "Schuko" power plug plugged into a "Schuko" power strip to make up a DIY outlet adapter. Inserted in one outlet is a small USB charger in puck form. No voltage conversion is happening, just the outlet format. No, it's probably not the correct way to do it according to the code books.

    @snep when an American travels with a bunch of these and just starts replacing the outlets in the German house

    @micr0 The actual reason why I brought one of these back to Germany at one point. To have one permanent US socket in my home at my desk for all those US-style cables and some power bricks I collected so I can actually use them :neocat_laugh:
