Unlimited Power Socket. Wonderful, so that's what I can use to
plug the 9kW kiln into. After all, the power is unlimited

JGH

And that has a link to "110V AC speaker", which in turn has a whole
list of links to a new craze...connecting loudspeakers directly to
mains electricity, usually destroying them, but the big ones make
engine-like noises.

Well I can't speak for others on ukra of course, but I wonder I am accused
of lacking a sense of humour simply because I don't find somebody destroying
a speaker funny? Any idiot can destroy things, if that was all it took to be
"funny" scrapyards or war-zones would be the most amusing places on earth!

All right, an appreciation for the bizarre then. I was just surprised anyone would find the x-post inappropriate.

Not "bizarre", just plain stupid. But to be honest I find *all*
cross-posting inappropriate as in my experience all it achieves is to
provide trolls with a new audience to irritate. If you see something that
you think might interest members of another group then what's the problem
with posting it, separately, to that other group?
