I give up in hotel rooms and consign myself to a bad nights sleep.

I don't understand why the need a light AND a switch. Is the switch not indicator enough?

Electrical tape does the trick for me

Electrical tape is the real hack. I used to use painters tape until I saw a comment on reddit about it. Electrical tape 100% blocks all of the light with just one or two layers. It rocks.

If someone can't tell that a FAN is plugged in without TWO LEDs (one on the fan itself, another in the plug) then I'm sorry they shouldn't own the fan, they may actually hurt themselves with it.

It's a fan. When you plug it in it spins. If it isn't spinning, you either didn't plug it in, or didn't hit the power button on the fan.

Do it bro it makes a huge difference. Blinking ones are even worse to me.

Yep, its part of why this drives me crazy. I notice a big difference in my sleep when I'm in, say, a hotel that has any of these LEDs in it.

That's not true though, if your oscillating fan is not plugged in then it won't spin. There's a clear difference between the on/off state.

I can't think of any device in my house that has an LED in it that really needs one to indicate on/off state. The power strips all have an on/off switch on them that clearly incicates whether you have it turned on. The devices with LEDs in the plugs will indicate whether they are on or off based on whether they work when plugged in, having an LED in the plug is just useless.

That wouldn't surprise me, since that basically summarizes capitalism in a nutshell. Make decisions that make the consumers experience worse but make the product cheaper to make, therefore increasing profits.

The pentagon would not survive an audit. It's unfathomable that with $800 billion they can't afford to replenish ammunition supplies.

If not by their actions, how do you judge someone? I cannot know "who they are" unless they either tell me or show me, and actions speak louder than words.

So many people will claim to be "good people" then go on a 20 minute rant about the "gay groomer agenda" and how gay people should "leave children alone" and how black people "commit too much crime and need to be policed more for it" when you give them one glass of wine and start talking about politics. Their overall stance is clear, and it isn't on the side of "being a good person."

You're outside during a thunderstorm, you should go inside
