Come on, people. The whole array is only rated for 900 Watts. Each outlet averages less than 1% of what is available at the wall. This is for all those tiny lights, fans, chargers, hula girls, desk fountains, clocks, and whatnot.
A lot of people assume that noisy tools take a lot of power, but it is things that heat up that really run up the bills.

You missed the joke

You missed the joke

Not many people are competent to joke about tech. I had an actual electrician on another AS list insisting that my monitor must not be working, based on how I told other travellers to hook up a 220 V appliance in a 110 V house.

This is a prank I actually pulled on a friend (it's not real poop but she thought it was when she rolled over onto it)

When I was a kid, I put a fake dog poo on the school bus. I also covered it with brown sauce to make it look a bit less plasticky and more authentic. I also had one flattened at one side to make it look like someone had stood on it.

Wow. I just got a good laugh out of that lol. I wish I'd thought of that!
I got detention once for putting a rubber cobra under a teacher's chair, she jumped on top of the desk and screamed.

Wow, I had no idea you could be so mischievous!

I used to be very fond of pulling pranks actually, but it kept getting me in trouble lol so I have calmed down a bit.
Another thing I got detention for in school was putting a rubber finger in my school lunch. I thought it was hilarious but no one else did.

I have about 3 fake snakes, they are actually quite affective. I worry about giving someone a heart attack, though. Whoopee cushions are good too, as are electronic farting devices and very strong magnets that can be put under a table and used to make someone's spoon or fork mysteriously move around.

The electronic farting device coupled with the table magnet could be really fun, you could convince someone that they're being haunted by a farting ghost.

Together with the fake poop, a farting, pooing ghost.

I also put the poo in toilet paper, so it looked like someone had pooed and then wiped their butt. I was tryin g to make it look as authentic as possible.

I can't stop laughing I'm glad someone appreciates the same types of pranks as me!

We have some coffee shops and other businesses where there's a code word to alert staff to escort someone to a staff area / back room if they need to get away from someone.

Seeing as there has been an overflow of toilet humour we need a suitable film to watch it with.

For Whom The Taco Bell Tolls should be suitable.

This is also a good pun lol

One day, I was unpacking an order from the food co-op and labeling the bags for our shared kitchen. On a whim, I wrote ROLD OTES on one of them. Sure enough, a couple of days later it was Dave's turn on dinner, and he spotted the bag. "Rolled oats" he exclaimed, "What in heck are rolled oats?"
His wife replied "You know, rolled oats!"
Rustle rustle - "Arrgh!"

A Hare was talking to a Tortoise one day, concerned for why the Tortoise was so slow.

"Do you ever get anywhere?" he asked in a concerned tone.

"Yes," the Tortoise replied, "and I get there sooner than you think. Let's have a race and prove it."

The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the friendliness of competition he agreed. The local fox, who had consented to act as the judge, marked the distance of the race and started the runners off.

The Hare sped away and was soon far out of sight! When he looked back near the end of the race and could not see the Tortoise, he decided to give him a chance. The Hare lay against a tree and decided to take a nap while he waited for the Tortoise to catch up.

The Tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and after a long time, passed the place where the Hare was sleeping. The Hare opened his eyes and decided it was time to finish the race. So he caught up to the Tortoise and wished him luck before speeding down to the finish line and winning the race! The Tortoise did his best to catch up but he simply could not with his speed. Regardless, the friendly Hare praised him for doing his best.

The two remained friends for the rest of their lives.

Moral of the story:
Be a good sport and be kind to your competition.


(if anyone tells you this is not how the story goes then they are a liar)
