Nothing so far. Most all appliances these days are single-device circuits (in the new kitchen, literally every appliance required a dedicated circuit - fridge, gas range, microwave, ovens, dishwasher, garbage disposal, etc.). So, lots of s

The reason for putting it ground up is that the vast majority of plug insertions occurs from above, with the plug angled down into the socket. This assures that the ground connector goes in first, as it's at the top, so you get the sa

V*A means you can vary V or A and get a higher wattage. So, you contradict yourself :)

I recently remodeled a house (in the US), and installed every receptacle with the ground at the top, because of that. Every person who comes over that knows anything about electrical stuff instantly says 'your plugs are upside down

And if you're taken in to the ER, you're possibly not even ABLE to consent to charges. You're at the whim of the hospital staff! Did you know they charge for 'chaplain time' for having a chaplain stop by and say

Yes. Working in a fully distributed team, irc+pictures is great. It's on you to manage your interruptions (it's easy to kill them totally, or to customize what you see). If you just take it all, then yeah, I can see that being a

It's a literary work. It's copying the table of contents, but writing your own chapter text. I fail to see how it's not copyrightable as such. It appears to be a collection of facts (the interface of the implementation). The

Why are the tractors any different from cars? If I buy a car, I can do anything aftermarket to it I want. If the car is in warranty, those mods do not allow the manufacturer to not continue to support it (well established case law), and t

The DoD has a significant investment in Oracle by name. In over a decade working around their systems, I've yet to encounter anything that couldn't be served by a mid-sized PG instance instead. The VAST majority of systems don&#

It would only lead to shortages if at the current price there is a perfect match of buyer to product with no waste, AND no capacity to produce a larger volume of supply. That's hardly ever the actual case.
