He appeared to rarely enjoy it above room temperature. i can't drink coffee or tea until they cool down, and i often forget and wind up drinking them once they've completely cooled off. it's not bad

cinci zoo sniper posted:WHAT THE gently caress i dunno if you are aware of this but americans cannot (commonly) buy 3kW electric kettles bc the common american electrical outlet only supplies 1.7kW (~117V * 15A) people in countries where the wall power is 220v usually still have 15A circuits and so their outlets can provide twice the power. i like to bring this up to the british exchange students we get every year when they take my electronics class. "have you noticed how slow american tea kettles are compared to what you're used to?" is a great introduction to power calculations

Why not just make a kettle that you plug into two outlets?

recently i learned that canada supplies three phase power at something crazy like 720V not sure if that's phase to phase or phase to neutral but either way it sounds like canadian electrical panels, much like the wu tang clan, ain't nothin to gently caress with

look at this hilarious loving thing that's because UK electricity needs a larger separation between the conductors for the higher voltage, and each plug must also have an internal fuse because of their incredibly dumb ring-main wiring that is marginally cheaper than the american system but also makes your house much more likely to burn down.

yeah, the regular euro plug with the two round connectors is p deece but still looks cheap compared to good solid american NEMA plug. anyway here's a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvOTiQKkQMo Sapozhnik posted:nice diy electrical code violation oh, i thought that when i said turning it into a single plug swapping it to the 220v style was implied. not just connecting all the wires to one side of the 110v outlet lomarf that'd be a great way to prank someone who you hated and genuinely wanted dead tho Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Jun 8, 2017 |
