  yeah for most things though 120 is more than enough and the plug differences prevent it as far as 220 being used in 110. I mean I was just explaining why you do not see it much. I mean its the reason for fuses. I guess the christmass lights thing used to be common enough to be warned against though. One of the rare times I looked into the total amps being supplied to my condo as I was contemplating an on demand water heater.

  My mistake. When someone says what their knives are I assume their good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you cut a cucumber so that the round slices don't roll all over and off of your cutting board?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  our knives are crappy as heck and they usualy either stick or fall flat. They have rolled off but its not such a common occurence or avoidable enough for me to even consider it an issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  devices draw the amperage they want so there is not much risk of over amperage but plug something that wants less volts into a more volts source and. erm. not good. wats are bigger because its more a measurement of total power although I see people arguing we should use joules or such.

  and horny! sometimes its not enough that they are naked!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was your social media path?⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  newsgroups and irc then nothing then linkedin and facebook (only for connectins and stuff never really interacted much) then slashdot then reddit then here. was doing mmos for a good bit and lots of chatting there. oh and youtube but I mean to me thats like watching something on tubi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  im pretty sure the brothers did not want to deal with whatever you have to do to get an atm. it was a pretty lean operation with really just enough room for the grill, fryers, blender, prep area and register. Very limited counter seating in side and a few tables outside. still in winter big lines. people just take it to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not yet seen it normalized but I have seen the opposite. 5% discount for cash. I mean effectively its the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[NSQ] What are you actually looking forward to this year?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  looking forward to? nothing. hoping beyond hope for? everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Biscuit Island Banger⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ok. I think im starting to understand the variety of ways I have seen it used on tv. This I think is the best explanation yet especially with the take the piss out of others. like that phrasing fits it better in my head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Biscuit Island Banger⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ok this makes sense with the loafing. Sounds like variation of taking more than your fair share but instead not doing your fair share.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Biscuit Island Banger⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  so. its funny. but I have been meaning to ask on a british community about taking a piss. Sometimes by context I feel it means screwing with someone and sometimes I feel it means loafing around. Am I off?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever feel guilty for trying to sign up for government assistance programs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Im more annoyed I have to spend so much time micromanaging the things which keeps me from looking for work or picking up substitute teaching.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does a person get on the No Gun List without commiting a crime? My brother was diagnosed with BIpolar and others he doesn't even want the option ten year down the road.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel this kinda thing. Its like ok I know im together now but I also know I have something that can be a danger. Im not actually talking about myself but I have family and if I had something that got to a certain point I would want to do the same as your brother.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I never used it enough to delete it. I just sorta abandonded it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fed report says Americans pay for almost all of Trump's tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just for the don’t read folks this is the fed (as in reserve) which is somewhat decentralized with zones and is the thing trump is currently trying to gain control of because its one of the places where he is not controlling the message.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife is talking about the expansion fulfilling everybodies dreams of being a garbage man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No idea. governing system idealism wise we should be like two peas in a pod. One of my I wish I had done differently was I wish I would have taken french rather than spanish. Partially because the sentence structure is more similar and partially because of canada. The other option would be german because I was stem and did some choral things here and there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why was Rock 'n' Roll seen as the grooviest shit in the 50s when it's just averagely groovy (ie. unremarkable) today?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  chuck berry, buddy holly, elvis, jerry lee lewis, johnny cash, richie valens. It was not all unremarkable and doubly so for the time. If you include the ones coming out of the end of the 50’s you got smokey robinson and aretha franklin which have some stuff I just love. Im not a big elvis or cash fan but there are a few songs. One thing funny about elvis for me is I like a lot of remakes of his songs with a bit of modern flare from modern artists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh SURE. That makes so much sense that a culture would lack “sarcasm”. I can TOTALLY see that being a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it block rfid? If not not anything with rfid unless they are in rfid blocking sleeves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I cannot do that. I am a bit jelly but still it is better than nothing. I did dream to rennovate for disability and getting one of the walk ins was going to be part of that but thats looking like its unlikely it will happen. I realize those are to expensive for what they are but they also just don’t have competition really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I use a shower/tub combo but its not the really small modern ones were its just a pointless lip. Its still way great to soak for an hour or so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are locks and keys mass produced?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Im pretty sure its like hardware mac addresses and there is a lot of variety but not endless. Im like 99% sure a key from a lock can open a bunch of other locks sold but its really unlikely to open a lock sold at the same store. Anyway as for the how our modern mass production machinery has electronics and can be programed to things a bit differently based an a database or some math or such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interview: Tawny Newsome On “Gargantuan Task” To Give DS9 “Resolution” On ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  reddit isn’t a link aggregator either. Its a community space just like here. Heck main reason I got on reddit initially was some mmo’s I was playing at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interview: Tawny Newsome On “Gargantuan Task” To Give DS9 “Resolution” On ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah if I went anywhere it would be trust cafe but I do really like the federated model and the direction its going is so far in the right direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Nebraska legislature has approved a bill that lowers the minimum wage from $15 an hour to $13.50 an hour for teen workers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah it should at the least be the opposite and raise minimum wage for non teenages. Its low enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  so far absolutely every joke of theirs turned out to be actions they did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In Another Thread about ‘D S 9’ & Challenged Characters, I Came-Up with This Why This Series Not Happened Yet, & Thus An Idea for A Brandnew ‘Star Trek’ Series⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean. This sorta sounds like a show revolving around a character like wesely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interview: Tawny Newsome On “Gargantuan Task” To Give DS9 “Resolution” On ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah. as I have mentioned. I avoid commenting as much as I can with these things. if I can filter them out then I won’t make the mistake of engaging when its more an advertisement than a person. The only reason I did here was I was annoyed at the OP’s reaction to the comment I was then replying to. Oh but I certainly do feel like its just pushing things in your face. Its a trek community. you read an article. geek out about it. tell me why you liked it. why is it so good to share. etc.
