  Well, you are subscribing to the Sun.

  Its your own shitshow.

  User blocked. Troll.

  This is true, but something about being an Electronics Engineer makes you want to check. (I didn’t even trust Philips to get it right, but they did.)

  I didn’t go into detail, but simple Dashed/Solid line doesn’t tell you the whole story. Those simple wall warts are not fancy switch mode, or even old school rectified. I measured 14VDC unloaded, which I can probably guestimate in experience, to be a 9VDC loaded reading.

  The actual reading on wallwarts are generally untrustworthy, unless its a thing from Samsung or apple, where the circuitry are what you would expect (switched etc).

  I can tell you for certain, I measured my plug phiips (foil and ‘one’) and they are both 14VDC. So short answer is that the plug charger would blow up the usb trimmer you have (which is 5VDC).

  The reason I know this and measured them, was because I wasnt sure the two plug chargers were the same, and I didnt want to blow up my philips one.

  I’d pick prohibited transaction. I live in AU. NYSE won’t let me trade there.

  Either that or “hate” - all redditors can get involved, but not you because you are not from the US. Sounds like communism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As if the tip actually goes to the dashers.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For tipping countries like the US, the driver would only get a “has a tip” notification on the order (if they get any information like that at all!) so they can decide. There is no way the driver can see that there is a $40 order with a $4 tip, or a $40 order with a $16 dollar tip. Orders would be ignored all the time, and the service would fail.

  Here is AU, there is no tipping, so the drivers get paid like normal people. None of this work for tip bullshit that seems to have survived this long in the US, its incredible that it has gotten this far. Now the US get asked for tips using self-service machines, that is the height of lunacy!

  If you were normal… 20/4/19xx … or 20th of April, 19xx. If you insist on freedom units and format, its your own fault!

  Also, who knows what it was written to identify? you are all speculating. It could have been weed smokers (420) but it could also have been written to filter out the yanks…!

  There are many kinds…

  They are is incorrect, and the word “so” is superfluous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the Israel thing going on?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what, I watch and see what muslims do to others and to themselves. Animals. Nothing more. They can hate each other and kill each other all they like. I dont care. Start killing other religions in the name of their own - fuck them, bomb the lot.

  Religion of “peace” - fuck off dickhead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the Israel thing going on?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  TBH I don’t really care either, but here is the simple fact. The ongoing war in Gaza, is HAMAS against Israel.

  HAMAS is not Palestine. HAMAS are liars and terrorists, and promote themselves with propaganda and lies, so they can grow in numbers. HAMAS are not interested in making a better Palestine.

  Let this Palestinian explain it to you: https://www.prageru.com/video/a-palestinian-explains-hamas

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and this was my point.

  Take a word such as “Immutable” - and item or object that is incapable of change. Coming from the word “Mutable” which is the opposite - something that can be changed.

  These words are from the Latin “mutare” which means “to change”.

  So if you can see the irony of this is that the word immutable should not exist, and for completeness, neither should commute or transmute!

  “a bit”? This is totally out of control, and the mod should lose all privleges, to being a mod.

  the other part is a person whom speaks english as a second language. Its not always a clear translation, particularly with English since the language is bastardised from many languages, and many “grammar rules” can be broken, by our own design.

  As a mod you should be amenable to that.
