Under US codes, our electricity is lower voltage (we run at 1250 while you guys are at 2400).
What are those numbers? Most of Europe got 230 Volts in their home grids and USA got 120 Volts.


I'm sorry, that should be watts to volts (1200W@120V and 2400W@240V).

I dunno, any socket that is not symmetric under rotation over pi just seems silly to me. You gotta be able to plug stuff in upside down, man! How else are you going to fit two adapters into sockets right above each other?

What? I understand even less now. You can't just change volts to watts.
Doubling the voltage doubles the watts at the same amps.

Since breakers are only rated in amps, it makes sense that doubling the voltage will double the watts on a house circuit.

I hate paul ryan because he's conservative but he's so cute. like, did your god put that much attractiveness into you by stealing it from all the ugly old men in congress? paul ryan pls.
Paul Ryan eat your heart out:


(ps this is Canada's new prime minister)
Now we need a return of the Trudeau vs Brazeau fight but now with Trudeau vs Paul D Ryan for the prize of Craze's heart

VS.

I'm not changing watts to volts. 1200W@120V = 1200W AT 120V. 1200W power (P) with a 120V supply (V). I simply forgot to add volts in my initial post (The actual numbers are 1250W to 110V, but we like to simplify math, so 1200W@120V). Also, you can actually convert watts (power) to volts (current). What you can't convert is watts to amps since they're not measuring the same quantity.

I'll bet this is why my first boss had me fix his electricity instead of hiring an electrician.
There's a school-wide power outage and I'm sitting outside in the sun along with the couple hundred kids who also had lunch this period. It's 25 minutes into 6th period and I'm hearing things about sending kids home early. I hope either they do that or get the power on before 2 PM so I can go to my game design class.
You can't convert watts to volts any more than you can convert miles-per-hour to miles.

Watts = Volts * Amps

If you know two, you can figure out the other one. If you only know one, the other two are completely dependent on each other.

Right, I don't know what I was thinking.

You don't, you put them alongside each other.
That's how our power strips are made.
And many have on/off switches so you can re-boot everything at the same time :)

God help those who use COMCAST :(

This was waiting for me under the plunger... I tried to drown it (I submerged the little fuck for at least a solid minute), but it wouldn't die. It came back and crawled on my hand. Not the way I wanted to finish a bathroom break.

I don't game make, I write, and I do it every week...why am I in this community again?
How often do you accept people to come to you with consultations?

Something i am definitely not is a writer. My projects suffer from a clear lack of good writing.

But then you get the problem of your adapters being too wide and covering up the sockets next to them.

Best of NES starts in 3 minutes as of this post!Watch people beat NES games quickly over the weekend! Schedule of the marathon here.

After I get done volunteering at the food pantry/resale shop, I'm going to watch the fuck out of this. They just got done playing Secret Ties and are now on Startropics.

yyeeeaaahhhh???? so what?????
We do have powerstrips with two levels, I think :( upper and lower.
Wait, are you trying to make me look silly or do you just think I am silly? :)

How many of the large adapters do you have??
You could always piggyback two or three strips...GOTCHA :)
