@exador23 That's funnier in Swedish, where electrical ground is the same word as both soil and the Earth.

@mjausson @exador23 Actually electric ground is always earth, it's just a question of when the connection is made. Our pool was installed before grounded circuits were required, so at some point they added a ground by hammering a grounding rod into the dirt and connecting to that.

@exador23 these have to all be a joke right. Nobody actually does this, not for a joke, right?

I mean like flat earthers have to be taking the piss as well.

@jamesholden @revk @exador23 If it has a fancy-looking box and is expensive, they'll buy absolutely anything.

opening para found on a ground box review: "Skepticism has always been the mental blockage for many audiophiles to venture into uncharted waters."

well... Quite. Guess that's what's saving me from shelling out $$$$ for a wooden box.

@mansr @revk @exador23 oh good call. Now I need to write up some blurb about heat fusing minerals and natural growth eucalyptus, and scoop up post bushfire charred earth.
