The unit for energy is the joule. The kilowatt measures power, which is energy divided by time, but a kilowatt hour is energy divided by time then multiplied by time so time drops out and energy is all that’s left. So, why not cut out the middleman and just bill electricity in joules instead of kilowatt hours? less

I’m asking because I thought it was usually 20 A for countries with 120 V mains electricity and 15 A for countries with 230 V mains electricity.
Anyway, I posted a link in a reply to Danny that basically asks an electrician the same question that Danny asked here, but the question was from a Canadian (Canada uses the same mains electricity as the USA), but the asker on that website has a 15 A circuit breaker in his house. less

We were up by one point with only four seconds left in the game. Things were looking really bad for us but we miraculously found a way to still lose the game after the other team missed that field goal. We found a way to get it done and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.”

This song, though, hands down, is my top favorite: "She's Got You"

Funny part is - the cause of Trump's growing wealth is Biden's strong economy.
There is a high correlation between real estate values and GDP growth. So Trump's new wealth is built on Biden's strong economy.
Maybe Trump will sabotage his wealth so he can say – Biden put me in the poor house. Cheers and happy weekend!

I really don’t think Trump will pick Carlson – I think it will be MTG or the my pillow guy. Cheers!

We're talking cyanide, arsenic, and all that fun stuff.I've found these numbers in different places, starting with a documentary, but here's one:https://earthworks.org/issues/environmental-impacts-of-gold-mining/

God seemed a little bit harsh in the old testament - smite your enemies and stuff like that. So I hope Mike is talking about a new testament Bible. Cheers!

Here’s the deal. Perception is reality.
And so when you look at the data that was provided in this poll, it talks about how people feel and when people decide whether they’re going to the poll or whether they’re not going to the poll, it’s all about how you feel in that moment. And so while the facts may not align with their feelings, their feelings are dictating their reality. Their reality is that they said that they feel better or they felt better when Trump was in office. But we’ve been trying to push back.
We’ve got some very popular African-American artists that are out here saying things like, “Oh, I got checks when Trump was in office. I want those checks again,” not understanding that really came from Congress.
So we’ve got a couple of things the perception issue, and then we also have an issue as it relates to civics in this country and people not understanding exactly how any of this... less
