Why should I know that? It doesn’t seem helpful for everyday life whatsoever except maybe as trivia.

“I want to know how much I have to work” gives off vibes that you generally put in the minimum effort and want to know if you will actually have to try tomorrow.

This appears not to be correct, but that’s just how people see that particular phrase. It offended her that your question appeared to imply that the level of workload affects your willingness to work in that unit. To mitigate what she perceived as your reluctance to do hard work, she called your manager to make sure that she didn’t have to work with you.

Consider the reason behind your question. Would an accurate answer have actually affected your day? Most people don’t have the luxury of knowing what tomorrow will look like. I understand the desire to be prepared and to know what will be thrown at you beforehand, since I’m neurodivergent too, but often these questions are for our own comfort and an answer is not actually necessary.

I guess? You could instead link the post, that doesn’t ping anyone and offers contextual information to other commenters since it was directly asked. If OP wanted to keep it private so that no one would know, they probably wouldn’t have posted it on the public internet.

But it’s kind of quaint/endearing that you wanted to protect their “privacy,” though. Not a bad attitude at all, it’s just not common practice since people don’t tend to accidentally make posts about things they want to keep secret.

I know most people want this for 3 (don’t blame you at all), but I actually really enjoyed 4 when I played it on Gamecube as a kid. The missions were silly and fun, and the NPCs and voice acting were over-the-top in often hilarious ways. I wonder if they’ve nerfed the Snake Run Slalom at all, I remember it being crazy hard.

Time to ask the burning question though… When are we getting a remake of THUG 1 + 2?

Mentioning a user isn’t doxxing, they literally picked that username to use publicly. Doxxing is leaking personally identifying information, like their real name, home address, phone number, workplace, etc.

Nothing says “bon appétit” like 50 gel capsules of fish oil.

I wonder what an all-fat lunch would even look like. Foie gras and fat bombs with chipotle mayo? Lol. I don’t think it would be practical and at worst you’d have diarrhea every afternoon.

Well, we’re all different, I guess. I’ve never heard that argument before, it doesn’t even make sense. Nothing against you for thinking it was legit though.

This is gonna bother me all day hahaha.

Why would bisexuality imply equal attraction? Never heard that. It’s common for bi people to only be attracted to certain genders at certain times (look up the “bi-cycle”).

I’m bi and I like guys more right now. In high school, I liked girls more. It’s never been equal in my whole life.

Really, not much, but there are some ideological ones sometimes. It’s a label based on personal identification. Some people say that only pansexuals are trans-inclusive when that’s not the case.

In some bisexual communities, bisexuality is defined as loving 2 or more genders. Not necessarily (but usually) men and women. Additionally, some bisexual people will date multiple genders, but not all of them (maybe they have specific preferences, whatever).

Being trans myself, I find it off-putting when pansexuals describe their sexuality as “I love men, women, and trans people” because that’s incredibly othering (to me as a binary trans person), but it seems like people say it less now than they did in 2012 when I was a baby tran. It’s weird to separate us entirely rather than viewing us as just another “type” of man or woman.

For a NB person that doesn’t apply since they’re neither a man nor a woman, but I can’t speak to how NB people feel about that phrase.

Well, most US allies are now confronted with video evidence of how stupid and unreasonable Trump is even when your nation is actively at war against an international adversary who is stealing territory and people are dying.

You can probably bet that even China will be more reticent to cooperate with the US on anything. As much as Trump wants to say America can take care of itself, that’s not true at the moment. More nations will likely start looking at BRICS rather than the G7/G20.

In Canada, people are really worried. I’m anticipating that the tariffs will go through, then cause harm to America, and be paused. After that, I’m hoping cooler heads prevail so he doesn’t fucking invade. If he does, wow, he’s stupid. That’s WW3 material.

Is the joke that you’re an idiot?

The word metric doesn’t always refer to the metric system… It has another entirely separate meaning.

It’s also not called “standard” in America, it’s called the imperial system.

A “metric” is another word for something that is used as a way of measuring a specific object, task, quality/characteristic, or goal.

For instance, “what metric are you using to measure inteligence?” is asking what criteria are being used to evaluate the intelligence of a particular subject (whether that’s humans, animals, AI, etc.).

An IQ score is an example of a metric of intelligence, though there’s evidence to suggest that IQ is not a good metric of intelligence.

Yeah, this is just socially enforced time theft. If your coworkers bitch to you, it’s not your problem. It sucks that your union doesn’t have your back on this.

More power to you, as long as you’re cool with the inherent damage to your health.

I have to correct you (sorry) when you say “dual-phase” because homes in Canada (my country) and the US don’t have dual-phase electricity and haven’t for many, many decades. What you are talking about is called “split-phase” and is actually just a single phase that’s been split using a neutral/return conductor.

To actually answer your question, yes, it’s higher amperage and higher voltage. Every circuit breaker is really just a “tap” into the panel in order to create a parallel circuit at the applied voltage (usually 120V) and whatever amperage the breaker is rated for (after ensuring that you’re using the correct size of breaker, of course).

The main reason why amperage is really important for larger appliances is because the cable used to plug them in (whether that’s by literally plugging it in or by hardwiring it into the panel) needs to be thick enough not to overheat from regular use. When precautions aren’t taken, it’s pretty easy for the cable jacket to melt (happens around 90 degrees C) and for the bare wires to eventually short and/or start a fire.

Obviously, a 18A breaker would prevent this, but it would also prevent you from using the oven.

A gas (or wood) stove will, which is why they’re still common in rural areas that face power outages more frequently. Your comment is the first mention of furnaces.

Personally, I use more than 2 burners pretty often. Honestly, it’s a bit of a waste of everyone’s time to debate whether or not a camping stove is a universal replacement for a gas stove since everyone has different needs. For the scenario I described, a gas stove is the better option.

I would be pretty pissed if I had to use a camping stove instead of a gas stove during an outage just because. They’re totally different tools suited for different use cases and environments.

…You do know that an oven needs a dedicated outlet, yes? As in, if you don’t have a 30-50A receptacle in your home, one must be installed in order for you to have an oven. All new builds and most existing buildings have this dedicated outlet.

Edit: I see that you’re using stove and oven separately. I am talking about a range (oven and stovetop combined), since where I live these are most common and “oven” and “stovetop” are roughly interchangeable. Apologies for any confusion.
