    I’ve had that situation a few times.

    Just cut off the end and soldered it to another power adapter of appropriate voltage/amperage/pinning (be especially watchful in case one is centerpin positive and the others centerpin negative)

      That feels like something I probably could do… But under no circumstances should do.

        Should I spend the next hour or two soldering something I will always have anxiety over being a fire hazard, or should I spend $3.97 on amazon to have it here the next day. ¯\(ツ)
