In the US they use their other 120v AC line that is 180 degrees out of phase to achieve 240v differential (2 phase).
In the UK we have single phase 240v AC typical domestic and three phase 400v AC typical commercial.

My one major criticism of BG3 is how cockhungry/fudhungry the companions are. Just about every time you open dialogue with them, there's an opportunity to flirt/show interest and it seems that they're either always receptive to your advances or at least very, very easy. Your certainly shouldn't be able to shag them halfway through act 1.

It's just a copy of "white painting"
Here's the bullshit they used about the one from 1958 :
Leah Dickerman: These "White Paintings" may not be prepossessing, but they're among the most radical statements about painting made in the middle of the 20th century.
They are blank canvases stretched in units of various combinations. And the paint is basic house paint applied with a roller. And the result is a canvas that acts as a screen, is sensitive to the ambient effects of a room, to the flickering qualities of light, and shadow, and weather.
Here’s Robert Rauschenberg:
Rauschenberg: I called them clocks. If one were sensitive enough that you could read it, that you would know how many people were in the room, what time it was, and what the weather was like outside.

It's definitely going to be sexual assault of some form or another.
But I suspect he's going to be significantly closer to Chris Evans than Jimmy Savile on the Predometer.
Probably being accused of using his power/influence to stick his hands down the pants of inebriated junior colleagues. Basically a straight Philip Schofield - but being that the offences were of the heterosexual variety, we won't crucify him quite as severely.
Considering the direction in which he's chosen to take his career, I suspect this kind of exposure will wind up working hugely in his favour - which is a shame.

Yes mate. Harvey Weinstein got a much easier ride because he’s straight.
This is going to be so much worse than Schofield, who was in a consensual relationship. Schofield was about age inappropriate relationships, power dynamics/grooming, adultery, and dishonesty. If you weren’t such an imbecile relentlessly pushing the gay victimhood narrative, you’d get this. The fact is if Schofield had done what he did with a girl he’d have fared worse as he wouldn’t have morons like you defending the creep. “Phil and Huw did nothing illegal” you bleat. That doesn’t make it OK.

Just admit you're a fucking homophobe and be done with it, eh?
Weinstein deserved what he got, but let's be honest. The fact that he's old, fat, ugly and Jewish all factored massively in how the public reacted to his crimes. If his victims were young men as opposed to young women, it would have only been worse for him.
There was a distinct lack of torches and pitchforks pointed at Danny Masterson during his trial, no? Not exactly being vilified now that he's been convicted, either? Is he? Wonder how much of that is because he doesn't resemble a giant walking tumour? Or because his victims weren't male?
If you honestly believe that Huw Edwards and Philip Schofield's sexuality didn't play a significant role in how the public reacted to revelations surrounding their behaviour, then I'd suggest it's you that's the fucking imbecile. Or maybe your latent homophobia is severely clouding your judgement?

The only reason Boy George has still got a career was because he beat up and chained up a rent boy. If he’d done that to a female, he’d never have been on tv again. But, you know, it was a rent boy. They know what they’re getting into, they’re practically begging for it.

No, sweetheart. I'm not 'excusing the assault and false imprisonment of a rent boy'. I'm trying to explain to you in simple English why Boy George still has a career (if you can call it that) following his conviction for false imprisonment.
I didn't say that I don't give a fuck about prostitutes (I don't, really. But that's besides the point). I said that 'nobody' gives a fuck about prostitutes. That's 'nobody' in the figurative sense - you know, like 'nobody' likes Prufrock, although I'm sure one or two people actually do.
'Nobody' is being used in the context of the public as a whole, who (let's be honest) don't have the same kind of record for speaking up for the rights of prostitutes as they have for campaigning for race/gender/sexual equality. Therefore, Boy George - who was hardly a public figure in 2009 to begin with - getting put away for doing a shitload of coke and handcuffing a prostitute to a radiator isn't going to accumulate anywhere near the same kind of Social Media notoriety as that nasty gay Huw Edwards looking for a bit of completely legal homosexual company, is it? Are you still keeping up? Hope so!
Bit of a weird take to presume I'm pretending to be a 'good guy' by suggesting that there will be significantly less outcry to Russell Brand being a pred because his victims are female. Why does that make me a 'good guy'?
I've genuinely no idea who the fuck Tony Hayers, actually is. But the fact that you're so triggered by him probably isn't the most reliable indication that he's all that awul, let's be honest. Okay, that's a lie. I know he's an Alan Partridge character and that you really, really hate him, but that's about it.

I’m genuinely surprised that Brown was in a Harry Potter movie. I did not know this. What he did to his ex was worse than the air rage IIRC.
I don’t have a ‘gay privilege’ theory, I’m just trying to counter the cries of ‘homophobia’ when gay people are called out for doing shitty things. Twitter was awash with people claiming that if Huw and Phil were straight there wouldn’t have been a fuss about what they did. The straight privilege theory, if you will. Complete bollocks.

"always consentual"
Which is why he texted a victim to apologise to them. Because he was sorry that she agreed to being raped?

Have you ever apologised for anything,
and if so, did your rape victim accept the apology?

indeed i have apologised
for many things I have done wrong, but I have never apologised for consensual rape. Just ask my wife.

it’s not as if Southern Water would do anything about treating it before dumping it into the river, even if it did go into the sewer.

There are members of the Historic Boat Society
that make an income from being the Soil Boat i.e. they collect the buckets (literally buckets) of shit from other historic boats for a fee, and then they dispose of it in the sanitation stations.

Don't know what boats you've been on
but the people I know who live on a boat have a big tank that stores all their waste, and every month they go to a pumping station and pump it out for proper disposal and treatment. If you moor in Bristol Harbour, for example, self-operated pump out systems are available at the New Inlet, Prince Street Bridge and Temple Back.
You must know some right scum if they shit in the water.

They also
don't look like they are surrounded by piles of fetid shit, either. Most likely, if they don't go to a pumping station, then seeing the guy that builds them, and having met people like that before, and also seeing the 'extinction rebellion' painted on one of them, there will be a compost toilet positioned somewhere close by on land.
They most certainly won't be throwing shit straight into the river, unlike Southern Water.

Seagull shit takes more than a couple of wipes to get rid of, but otherwise that's brilliant.
Interestingly the rain sounds stop when I click away from the tab, but the radio doesn't, which means I can have Radio Broadstairs on while I work.

the average human has 350 times the lead in their body
than people of 19th century and earlier. And that's just one unavoidable toxin, there's microplastics everywhere in the air and water, dioxins, nitrogen monoxide, and whole bunch of shitty particulate matter and volatiles in the air. And then all sorts of cosmic radiation that might just fuck up the wrong bit of dna at the wrong moment. Even if he doesn't have any of thousands of genetic risk factors that kick in in old age, he'll accumulate unrepairable genetic damage and age and die just like the rest of us Being alive is bad for your health
