Has the use of warrant canary’s ever been tested in the US courts, especially with an NSL (or whatever they are called these days)? I don’t ever remember a case, but maybe I missed it.

Washing machines very rarely are 240V in the US, they usually are 120V. It’s electric dryers that are 240V.

Gasoline sold in California is “different” than gas sold elsewhere in the country. I don’t remember the details exactly, but I think it has to do with carbon content. There’s also the issue of high gas taxes there as sibling mentioned, but
