Are these the Kinderguardians I've been hearing about?

Or is this just the new school uniform after all the teachers have been armed and we find that didn't actually do anything to reduce the number of school shootings?
Did you make the catio too? I was thinking about making one of those with an exit from a basement egress window.
As long as you're careful when you're stripping the outside protective sheath and don't cut thru the black or white insulation on the internal wires and don't have any stray / frayed conductors sticking out after you screw everything to the terminals it's going to be plenty safe. I usually try to make the first cut above the ground wire because it doesn't matter if I slice into that one on accident. Making AC cords is a lot easier than terminating coax or cat-6, you just have to bear in mind that the consequences for screwing it up can be a lot higher.
Usually when you need something really specific like that and you're not selling this PC to someone else, it's best to just make your own. Get a c13 or c14 rewireable end, cut up an existing cable, and stick it on there. As long as you do a clean job and don't put the wrong wire on the wrong terminal and it's all secured properly you'll be fine.
If you cinch a small ziptie down really tight on the black insulation right where it tries to exit the end you modified, you can give it some extra strain relief and reduce stress on the terminal screws.
I bet she loves that, good work!
Thanks!
Thanks! I might have used it myself once or twice when I didn't feel like cleaning up after the jigsaw...
I was wondering about this also when I tried to sign up to lemmy.world on Monday and it seemed like it just timed out while I was trying to register and login. It looked like they were getting some traffic but it shouldn't have been enough to bring everything to a crawl like that.
