    Some of yours might actually be better built than this thing. This thing was a fucking fire hazard. I clipped out some of the wiring to measure its size because the thing was supposed to be rated at 13 amps, according to the link. The damn thing was needlessly complicated, and unsafe.

    The main cord was 16 gauge, that is correct for 13 amps. However, after the cord entered the charging station, the wire split off and the size was dropped to 22 gauge to each outlet, which I think is 7 amps, maybe less in an enclosed device. So each individual outlet on the charging station had wire that was unprotected by the 13 amp breaker on the bottom of the unit.

    If I'm designing something like this, I'm not putting wire that is too small to handle the load at which the breaker will trip.

    Welcome to a bunch of Chinese crap these days.

    I enjoy watching Big Clive tear down electronics from eBay, Amazon, even some high end electronics like breakers. Pretty informative.

    And his brother, ralfydotcom, does scotch reviews.... so what's not to love?

    What do you do when it's 3rd and 10?

    You PUNT.

    I even made sure Americans would get it, with your fancy 4 down football and everything.

    You punt on 4th and 10, not 3rd. Unless you're Iowa football.

    I’m testing negative for covid but feel like ass.
    I’ve taken more sick days at my new position in four months than I have in three years. I feel bad.
    But also don’t feel bad because sick days exist.

    I have a fairly large APC UPS in my office and several small ones scattered around the house because AEP is shit and we get one second long outages multiple times per month here. The last time there was an extended outage was a lot of fun, getting woken up at 5am by angry beeping in every room of the house, then bumbling around with a flashlight to deal with each one.

    damnit just pmed him the same thing before I checked the thread. Didn't wanna call him out publicly like that then of course you jackals do.

    I wonder if there's ever been a situation where a team has purposefully punted on 3rd down though? Like maybe with an offense so inept that they trusted their defense more? Broncos fans, where you at? I got a question.

    The difference between an Apple charger and your typical super cheap one are night and day, totally incredible.

    Yeah, no kidding.... just go pop one of each open and you'd be amazed at how empty/light the Chinese one is, and just how much shit was packed into the Apple one.

    This is hilarious... a bunch of protesters glue themselves to the showroom floor at Porsche (VW).

    Ze Germans said "fuck you then"... shut the lights off, closed up, killed the heat, and had security guards check on them every now and then. They also refused to provide them any kind of bowls to piss or shit in. And would not let them order food from outside.

    What a bunch of fucking morons.
