    It’s just a phase. They will get over their reluctance.

        Transformers don’t deal much with resistance though…reluctance I was referring to magnetic reluctance which is the magnetic analog…more applicable to the transformer in this case. Thanks for the interesting exchange 🙃

          Today I learned that magnetic components of the electric system use a different type of resistance. It’s not the same as inductance though?

          Gas is pumped to high pressure, then cooled into liquid in a condenser, then travels to a evaporator where it is metered through a device and allowed to expand rapidly changing to a gas. This extracts heat from the area.

          China mostly has combined type A, C and I plugs in my experience (Can’t see the wall outlet in the picture clear enough)

          And nothing in that picture looks like it’s in China. From the house, to the kid, to the Halloween costume, nothing looks Chinese.

          While I definitely recall seeing a bunch, was usually a safe the As/Nz type plugs were available.

          Actually thinking back on it (been like a decade now), I recall a lot of them looking like the plug on the left where NA/EU style ungrounded plugs would work in the top one, 3 blade only for grounded equipment.

    I told my grandmother I wanted to be Spider-Man one year and she went and hand sowed a custom for me with 6 extra legs off the sides and crocheted a spiderweb cape for it. Of course being a child I was upset when my mom told me I was wearing it no matter what. But looking back now, it was pretty funny and really sweet.
