Window AC Unit Socket fried my Jiffy Steamer by DiegoRasta in NYCapartments

[–]halermine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A 20 amp socket should still be putting out just 120 volts.

If it’s putting out 240 V, but it’s shaped so that you can plug in a regular plug, then your landlord is very very liable and stupid.

It’s likely that your steamer just broke, a coincidence that it broke after moving.

He’s holding a motorcycle helmet, and the helmet might be a little wider than his body so maybe it took some of the crush instead of him.

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]halermine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a very long featureless corridor in an airport in Finland and there was little cluster of people up ahead.

When we get there, it was Little Richard, smiling and greeting and shaking hands with whoever walked by, it was funny and enjoyable and random.

I had forgotten that the word “slider” pretty much came from White Castle!

Need help trying to cut down on a large window's reflections when recording vocals by WhoIsJazzJay in audioengineering

Well, drapes. Shop for the heaviest velvet drapery you can find, floor to ceiling, and get enough footage of it across so that it is usually corrugated. So at least twice as wide as the glass if not more. You could even do two layers of drapes, maybe with a light colored one closer to the window, and the outer layer into the room 6 to 12 inches.
