It's very telling, to me, however, that even the editor of NRO can't find anybody to say good things about the new bill.
I heard it's short, that's something.

It's a running gag meme to take recent photos and claim they are colorized photos from a distant past event.BTW, what's with the "colorized" thing?
I was just explaining what he was doing to someone who didn't watch the video.
Well that's a mental image I didn't need.I could've also gone with wondering how large Trump's stack will grow once the Republicans tack on all their pork barrel riders.
So, as i assumed, THE MEMES ARE MERGING...It's a running gag meme to take recent photos and claim they are colorized photos from a distant past event.
Seriously, these people are fucked up. As if poverty is defined by the lack of modern appliances available since multiple generations ago in what is supposed to be the most powerful nation on earth. Sometimes I hate this place.
How dare people call themselves poor when they can afford to own a refrigerator!
Yeah, but Fox isn't talking about other countries, they're talking about other Americans.It's like you guys can't see that this is how well off that America is, our "poor" are living better than some middle class or even upper class in other countries.
It always blows me away that you guys don't use kettles, electric or not, to boil water. I don't anyone that uses microwaves to boil water. Just one of those differences between us.Do you know what's really expensive?
1) Having to lose 2-3 hrs every day to grocery shopping and the planning and preparation either shelf-stable meals or meals that will leave no leftovers. Oh, and they have to be nutritious, too.
2) Having to lose another hour daily to having to use conventional ovens for the inefficient (re)heating/preparation of food, the boiling of water, sanitizing of sponges used to clean food preparation surfaces/equipment.
3) Starbucks.

Wait, seriously?It always blows me away that you guys don't use kettles, electric or not, to boil water. I don't anyone that uses microwaves to boil water. Just one of those differences between us.
Um, I definitely use a kettle.It always blows me away that you guys don't use kettles, electric or not, to boil water. I don't anyone that uses microwaves to boil water. Just one of those differences between us.
WTF you get actual wooden sticks? Screw you, we have to try to burn dirt here!Oooh, Mr. Moneybags using his flint and steel to make a fire when he could just use sticks! Faker!
We didn't used to, but then we boiled water enough that we got one (and have been through a few of them so far). But yes, I believe not having a kettle is the norm in America. Probably because we only have 120VAC current.It always blows me away that you guys don't use kettles, electric or not, to boil water. I don't anyone that uses microwaves to boil water.

That wouldn't matter if the amps we could pull was higher... which it isn't. From quick googling at least, it's 13 amps in Europe, and considering it's typically only 15 as the limit here, the voltage difference means more POWER can be transmitted to the outlet.We didn't used to, but then we boiled water enough that we got one (and have been through a few of them so far).

15-20amps is the usual limit per circuit here in the US also. The raw amount of power in the circuit doesn't change, amps are amps no matter what voltage delivers them, but higher voltage usually means lower loss in transmission, meaning more total power gets delivered to the destination. I'm sure @stienman could clear this up...once he gets his power back after the windstorms, that is.That wouldn't matter if the amps we could pull was higher... which it isn't.

I wonder how that impacts the wire installed? I would think it would need to be a thicker gauge in europe to handle such, but I'm a software guy, not an electrician. I know the VERY basics about electricity and power, but not installation stuff.
Umm, dude? Power equation: P = VI15-20amps is the usual limit per circuit here in the US also.

I don't know of anyone who boils water in a microwave either, most everyone has a stovetop kettle or uses a saucepan. I've always used a stovetop kettle and we now have an electric kettle (they're still fairly rare here, but I've been seeing them in stores more and more). The only time I boil water in the microwave is to steam clean it. I'll use the microwave to re-heat a mug of coffee/tea that's gone cold, but that's only for a few seconds.It always blows me away that you guys don't use kettles, electric or not, to boil water.

I said power, not Power. I assumed since you did not capitalize "power" that you were referring to the quantity of electricity (current) that went through the circuit, not the amount of work that got done (Watts). This is the joy of working with professionals, everyone makes certain assumptions about standards/terminology, and it's hard to tell when you are/aren't speaking in layman.Umm, dude? Power equation: P = VI
P = Power in Watts
V = Voltage in Volts
I = Current in Amperes
(Note: differences due to AC vs DC for the numbers (they're smaller), but the principle holds. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power )
Same current != same power. I still remember THAT much from my circuits courses in university. Even if I've been doing software for 13 years, I still do hold an Electrical Engineering degree. Dr. Minchev would be ashamed if I forgot something THAT basic.
Circuit nerd dump incoming:
Btw, this is why high-voltage transmission lines are a thing, since when you step up the voltage the current reduces FASTER, which means less losses. This is related to Ohm's law: V = IR (or IZ, impedence, same for this purpose). Power is also expressible by I^2*R, but when you throw something through a (perfect) transformer, power is THE SAME. So if you take 50 volts and step it up to 50,000 volts, you have 1/1000 the current, but the power LOST due to resistance in the wires goes down by a MILLION because of squaring the current for the loss. Same resistance, less power lost to heat. This is also why the high voltage direct current is so neat, because direct current doesn't have losses from capacitance or inductance losses like AC does. The problem for years has been doing a DC to DC converter that would step up (and down) the voltage as much as needed, but NOT have losses in that process that make it worthwhile to do it in the first place.
