@lebronjames75 @twinspin6 maybe those were for telephone or cable lines and they just got rid of it?

@lebronjames75 @twinspin6 or, maybe there was an accident, the connector melted and shorted, and someone just removed the outlet as a temporary fix to have power, and then never fixed it

@twinspin6 @lebronjames75 i do not know what's special about european connectors but if you use one of those cheap heaters it can happen (i've seen it happen and they called me for an emergency fix)

@ElDeadKennedy @lebronjames75 how does that happen? like it draws more power than it can take?

@twinspin6 @lebronjames75 apparently, old connectors that are not as tight as they used to be, arcing, and high wattage

@ElDeadKennedy @twinspin6 @lebronjames75 there is also the very rare central vacuum
my dad wanted to install it so his house used to have one nonfunctional outlet for it but he never made it work

@lebronjames75 @twinspin6 @ElDeadKennedy also reason is probably some kind of landlord special
outlets that will not be in use may be condemned to both kids proof and prevent dust buildup or pests nesting
usually not with a screwed in plate but if you're doing these things it's not that much more work to do tbh

@mer @twinspin6 @ElDeadKennedy there are 8 more outlets away from the bed in the bedroom that are functional (plus the extra connections previously mentioned)
