14:55:38 <nsITobin> 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
14:57:41 <frg_Away> nsITobin if just the fuse should be fixable if you can open it.
14:59:28 <frg_Away> usb type or 110V?
15:05:02 <tomman> 110V AKA "this is why Europeans mock at us Americans for our substandard electricity outlets" :D
15:05:18 <nsITobin> wall outlet
15:05:22 <nsITobin> so not usb
15:05:51 <nsITobin> tomman: technology connections would like a word with you
15:05:57 <nsITobin> ;)
15:06:32 <tomman> even our "220V" is fake - "split phase" AKA "208V in a good day"
15:06:56 <tomman> "just slap 2 110V lines together and call it a day"
15:07:26 <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
15:07:28 <nsITobin> at any time
15:07:29 <njsg> is it true that electric water kettles are much less common in the US because of 110V?
15:08:28 <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..
15:08:29 <nsITobin> wait
15:08:44 <frg_Away> nsITobin then it is probably the breaker in the fzuse box or the outlet itself.
15:08:45 <njsg> (or rather, because 110V means you can't get as much power within the safety boundaries of the wiring)
15:09:06 <nsITobin> frg_Away: we don't have fused outlets
15:09:10 <nsITobin> in the wall
15:09:15 <frg_Away> It is 240V here now but still labled 220V
15:09:25 <nsITobin> but the lamp its likely fused else it would have either killed the lamp or the breaker
15:09:35 <tomman> njsg: we don't really use electric kettles in Latam, which is mostly 110V American spec
15:09:48 <nsITobin> it also has rj11 jacks for surge protection
15:09:49 <tomman> if you want to boil water, use a gas stovetop
15:10:15 <tomman> nsITobin: We are not tea obsessed, but many are coffee obsessed
15:10:25 <njsg> yes, but for that there are moka pots
15:10:27 <tomman> and while electric coffeemakers exist, gas is simply better
15:10:32 <nsITobin> yeah and caraths and drip coffee does that
15:10:46 <frg_Away> nsITobin somewhetre there is a fuse even in the US but if only one outlet then it probably is bad.
15:10:55 <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
15:11:26 <tomman> moka pots cost $10-20, while a electric coffeemaker is $40-50, and it will die during the first power sag/outage here
15:12:02 <njsg> and I'd argue moka pots allow for tastier coffee, but YMMV and taste matters have to be IMHO
15:14:25 <tomman> reboot time here~
15:14:39 <nsITobin> oh god their rebooting tomman
22:21:59 <nsITobin> and I am now banned from the WHATWG
22:22:27 <nsITobin> and Mozilla Matrix after I complied with their orders to stop using the account for a server not on their instance.
22:22:39 <nsITobin> nothing matters
22:39:20 <nsITobin> Love being punished for complying.
22:39:28 <nsITobin> Love being banned and told this is not the space for me.
22:39:37 <nsITobin> nor is anywhere on matrix ever
22:39:43 <nsITobin> by a Mozilla employee
22:39:45 <nsITobin> again
22:39:52 <nsITobin> not just theirs
22:40:06 <nsITobin> Good night.
23:02:24 <nsITobin> The destruction is for nothing the bans are for nothing and this person is starting the trend of WebCOmponents are not the future https://dev.to/ryansolid/web-components-are-not-the-future-48bh
