  I think I blew the fuse for the outlet on my thrift store hotel desk lamp.. least the lamp part still works.. Dunno if I can fix it
• 14:57
  frg_Away
  nsITobin if just the fuse should be fixable if you can open it.
• 14:59
  frg_Away
  usb type or 110V?
• 15:05
  tomman
  110V AKA "this is why Europeans mock at us Americans for our substandard electricity outlets" :D
• 15:05
  nsITobin
  wall outlet
• 15:05
  nsITobin
  so not usb
• 15:05
  nsITobin
  tomman: technology connections would like a word with you
• 15:05
  nsITobin
  ;)
• 15:06
  tomman
  even our "220V" is fake - "split phase" AKA "208V in a good day"
• 15:06
  tomman
  "just slap 2 110V lines together and call it a day"
• 15:07
  nsITobin
  we are allowing variences in the energy grid to fluxuate more than should be acceptable on the basis that modern devices have advanced filtering and tollerence.. its a bullshit premise primed for failure
• 15:07
  nsITobin
  at any time
• 15:07
  njsg
  is it true that electric water kettles are much less common in the US because of 110V?
• 15:08
  nsITobin
  njsg: its uncommon because americans aren't tea obsessed.. We're americans tea was just a pretense for overthowing the tyranical rule of olegarcs and monarchies.. which is why we re-elected trump..
• 15:08
  nsITobin
  wait
• 15:08
  frg_Away
  nsITobin then it is probably the breaker in the fzuse box or the outlet itself.
• 15:08
  njsg
  (or rather, because 110V means you can't get as much power within the safety boundaries of the wiring)
• 15:09
  nsITobin
  frg_Away: we don't have fused outlets
• 15:09
  nsITobin
  in the wall
• 15:09
  frg_Away
  It is 240V here now but still labled 220V
• 15:09
  nsITobin
  but the lamp its likely fused else it would have either killed the lamp or the breaker
• 15:09
  tomman
  njsg: we don't really use electric kettles in Latam, which is mostly 110V American spec
• 15:09
  nsITobin
  it also has rj11 jacks for surge protection
• 15:09
  tomman
  if you want to boil water, use a gas stovetop
• 15:10
  tomman
  nsITobin: We are not tea obsessed, but many are coffee obsessed
• 15:10
  njsg
  yes, but for that there are moka pots
• 15:10
  tomman
  and while electric coffeemakers exist, gas is simply better
• 15:10
  nsITobin
  yeah and caraths and drip coffee does that
• 15:10
  frg_Away
  nsITobin somewhetre there is a fuse even in the US but if only one outlet then it probably is bad.
• 15:10
  tomman
  njsg: yep, I use a moka pot, but in a pinch you can simply boil water and fill a filter with coffee and drip it there
• 15:11
  tomman
  moka pots cost $10-20, while a electric coffeemaker is $40-50, and it will die during the first power sag/outage here
• 15:12
  njsg
  and I'd argue moka pots allow for tastier coffee, but YMMV and taste matters have to be IMHO
• 15:14
  tomman
  reboot time here~
• 15:14
  nsITobin
  oh god their rebooting tomman
• 22:21
  nsITobin
  and I am now banned from the WHATWG
• 22:22
  nsITobin
  and Mozilla Matrix after I complied with their orders to stop using the account for a server not on their instance.
• 22:22
  nsITobin
  nothing matters
• 22:39
  nsITobin
  Love being punished for complying.
• 22:39
  nsITobin
  Love being banned and told this is not the space for me.
• 22:39
  nsITobin
  nor is anywhere on matrix ever
• 22:39
  nsITobin
  by a Mozilla employee
• 22:39
  nsITobin
  again
• 22:39
  nsITobin
  not just theirs
• 22:40
  nsITobin
  Good night.
