You're right about the frequency for sure, most things with an AC motor for example wouldn't handle it.

But a quick search shows people have done this for things like kettles without issue.

I'm curious since you guys still use 240V for washer, dryer, cooker, EV charger, etc. Could you legally install a 240V socket (with a different plug type) and use an appliance from a 240V country?

I get it would probably be overkill for a kettle alone but I'm curious why it's only common for some things. Is it regulated, like do devices need a special approval to be allowed to run 240V in US?

Like calling the numbering system base 10.

It would be base 10 regardless of the number of units

BBC shows ads on some foreign services, but not in the UK

I wouldn't be so sure on the last point. Saying it's the final release of Graphene feels like an empty threat

I used to use an app called Hullomail which brought them into an app as voice clips you can see the caller and play or export.

It also showed you missed calls while your phone was off since they can just flag when a call was redirected to them. Super useful.

IIRC they got acquired and removed the free tier but you might still find them useful.

Varies for me, I'm chill when I'm coming back home, but going to third countries where the front or back of the passport queue is 15 mins or 45 mins wait, best believe I'm getting off asap

Yeah that works, but often male toilets currently only have one stall. Would need to shift that balance for this to be an effective strategy.

 

In love with the shape of U

The ending just left me rolling my eyes, extraordinarily self serving in typical RTD fashion. Hoping it's just going to be for a brief spill like Tenant's return was but I guess we'll see.

I'm from the UK where it's at least banned indoors.

Visiting European pubs/bars where people still smoke is nuts and my clothes always stink after
