@synthgal @PsyChuan Mentioned this to my mother, and she says that in a lot of countries with older houses and older wiring, they typically lack circuit breakers. American households tend to have them, so individual outlets usually don't have switches as a result.

@PsyChuan Also, some americans are fond of daisy-chaining tons and tons of extension cords, splitters, and power strips onto one outlet.

@PsyChuan Unless the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, correct. The closest thing we have to an on/off switch on (modern) outlets is the test & reset buttons.

I'll find it extremely amusing when some court orders that an NFT be removed from the blockchain.

badly written Skyrim banter 

Adrian: Why don't you swallow that stubborn pride of yours and ask Iorlund Gray-Mane for help?
Idolaf: Ha! I'd sooner bend my knee to Ulfric Stormcloak

Um... calling BS on that because the entire reason the Battleborn family is feuding with the Gray-Manes is because the latter is siding with the Stormcloaks -.-

Commission for furaffinity.net/user/darkvulpi

Trans people deserve to have their identities accurately represented on government documents.
They deserve equal access to education, housing, jobs, and healthcare.
They deserve to use public bathrooms safely, and without harassment.

@Ylfingr From what I gather, the issue is with the subwoofer, as the speakers take their input from it. The speakers+subwoofer are also 12-13 years old, so I guess they're starting to show their age

Well, I think I figured out why I suddenly started getting tons of spam. Several of the phone/text spams that I have gotten have been for someone named Adrian.

I think what happened is that this Adrian signed up for something and accidentally entered my number when he was entering his own, and whoever he gave the number too either got hacked or was some dubious company that sold off his personal info to spammers.
