    Side note, if you ever want to get real mad about paying money for something open up a cheap surge protector or power conditioner 😹

        That would be a “power strip”- but the surge protectors do have rather little in them all the same. The varistors are where the magic is- and they’re basically about the size of a grape. Or a coin.
