Maybe (I am not an electrician) but it's also sort of a fire/shock hazard to have a device putting out electricity that has a male plug.

The plugs in Germany/other countries might have a better design when it comes to that, the ground connection is on the sides rather than directly across from the positive connection so it's a little less likely to short stuff out if it just falls out of the receptacle.

plug them in to a wall outlet to reduce your net usage.

Yeah I think that's why they're illegal in the U.S. The electrical systems for a lot of homes are old as hell and this can start a fire. It happens all the time with people using generators and male-to-male power cords and plugging into the wall to feed back the power to the electrical circuit

It looks like a video game that skimped on the world development budget.

I think lots of that stuff (like the ramps) were added in the Director's cut of the game.

IDK, even pump shotguns would be subject to issues with vaccuum environments , but I guess differences in atmospheric pressure in alien environments might be an issue if it changes how fast the gas disperses.

Exactly - the exact affiliations/opinions of the President don't matter if you're literally allowed to do anything you want in the interest of "national security".

It's this - even if he really is a billion dollars in debt (doubtful), the body of the piece is just gold+bitcoin boosterism. It's an ad enabled by journalism essentially being stenography now.

It's ridiculous. 10 year old cars with 100k+ on the odometer are still like 10k

So about 30% of players who get the option to fuck the mindflayer take it? 3/10 people play until they get the option, and 1 of those 3 takes it.

is this fake? that @ doesn't seem like a real news outlet.

EDIT - It's real, the statement is on the White House website. It's directly at the end.

shrug-outta-hecks Fair enough - in hindsight we really can't expect some kid fresh out of college to know why office jobs are bullshit/productivity theatre
