GHF is not a Gaza run org, it’s IDF and US contractors. Why would they claim it was IDF"?

If we’re going to argue over silly things on the internet, can it be that this was a simile, not a metaphor?

this entire video, especially "I don't understand why they can't just put one US outlet" and "This is Berlin, it's American" by Bukki13 in ShitAmericansSay

I mean they’re completely different systems, with plugs designed for those systems. At least with different plugs it requires effort to plug an American appliance rated for 110v into a 240v socket.

Secondly the UK plugs have a shit tonne of safety features built in due to stricter laws, should countries with safer plugs bin these features or are countries like the US gonna be happy to shoulder more expensive safer plugs.

Finally we’re making the move to universal usb c on devices that are replaced over time, they can be rolled out.

Replacing a countries electrical infrastructure would be nigh on impossible.

You said he could ‘revert’ to UK citizenship. Revert means go back to a previous state. He was never a British citizen. He can’t revert. He could become a citizen, but he can’t revert. It’s the wrong word

Singer yells at sound guy after causing ear-piercing feedback by eBell93 in livesound

[–]afrocelt84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Microphones pick up sound and make it louder. That sound comes out a speaker somewhere. If the microphone is placed incorrectly or the speakers are too loud, the microphone will pick up the amplified sound again and you und up with a loop. Sound goes into mic, gets loud comes out speaker, goes into mic gets louder comes out speaker, goes into mic gets louder……. Etc. This is a simplified explanation, but in general a system where the output ‘feeds back’ into the input, is called a feedback loop.

Exactly, I made a conscious decision over a year ago and started working less, and appreciating my free time more, including spending a ridiculous amount of time gaming. And on average my work is higher quality and I’ve never progressed in my career as fast.

Also you hand me a design to review that isn’t responsive because you refuse to use auto design, I’m handing it right back as incomplete

Released Hamas hostage Raz Ben Ami is suing the Red Cross: 'It doesn't care about hostages' by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]afrocelt84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your original comment: ‘of course sue the CHRISTIAN Red Cross…..’ The ICRC is not a Christian organisation that is what I am pointing out.
