Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

also mag you need to guess what my page 42 is from

page:

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Well... That was super easy to reset my password, just need my NREMT number from my card and last 4 of my social.

Now, need to look up all my medic ***for my continuing education. Also I can list where I work. This is less of an annoyance than I thought is was going to be.

That reminds me, I need to see about getting my HP cert, ugh, should have done it 8 months ago when I could have for free.

Scragg is an Android guy.

You mean the satanic pineapple? I'm assuming something horrifying.

Watching the news, see that Ferguson, MO is preparing for riots, Panera Bread in the back ground.

Breaking News: I want a bread bowl.

That has to do with the statement, how?

But glad to hear, as that is the superior mobile platform.

Need a reliable 1500-2000 watt 220/240 volt to 110/120 volt step down converter. Been browsing them online for the past 45min, anyone have any experience with a decent one?

I love reading reviews that go from anyone from, 'love it, this is perfect. been using it for over a year now' to 'crapped out within 6 months' on the same product.

So far this seems like the one, idk tho.

Land back in state, snow is waiting to welcome me. It was green when we landed... Not so much now.

Global warming is a myth.

What are you using that takes that much juice?

You could probably get a new plug for your laptop that will go in the other socket (most power adapters on laptops do 110/220 just a matter of using the right plug). Can't think of you dragging much else with you besides your phone charger (which you should get a new one anyway, charger).

But no I've never had the need to use one, if I had gotten my hands on this server that was being recycled I would have needed one as it used dual 220 rails, but I didn't, so I never bothered with it.

I would also be concerned with the purity of your signal over there, in older buildings it could be rather noisy, you may need a voltage stabilizer to make sure you're getting constant 220ac, otherwise you could fry it if it spikes. Which is honestly probably what some people's problems are, old wiring, or negligent power company, as after all they don't/"can't" guarantee constant power.

edit: after thinking for a moment, even a laptop should only take 90w+- and a phone a fraction of that, but I guess it's not too much if you don't want to have to rebuy everything.

got a random invite on skype. Added the person and they are offline.
Not sure if its a real person or a bot.

AIYEEE!!

Gave my dog a bath today... As we were finishing up and I was draining the water, she was giving me the saddest look ever.

It's not a laptop I'm bringing over my actual computer (desktop) plus my 24" LCD TV I use as a monitor.

Contemplating whether to just get an outlet converter and switch the power supply to 220/240, but the TV is 120 only. Of course the TV is rated at 34 watts. Maybe just a cheap 50 watt converter might do the trick for that.

It sucks everything is step up and step down, if it was just step down it wouldn't need as much stuff, lol.

The building's power supply isn't an issue, but I might want to get a UPS just in case.

Idk still deciding which route to go. Only reason I started looking at these heavy things was the whole 50hz to 60hz issue.

EDIT: Desktop is 600 watts.

Also, when I go back to the town we hunt by, I'm getting some of this...

that could be scary.

I'd probably get the full step up/down (actually it's the same, transformer wise) now if they build it properly, that's another story.

That being said: the one you link worries me, (I'm not very familiar with foreign outlets) but it doesn't look like that thing has ground on the adapter, that concerns me.

It would probably be cheaper to just get the whole converter, than to replace your PSU+ other stuff, just inconvenient if it stops working, I'd probably also use a ups, as they tend to usually have protections against unclean signals, as for the 50hz issue, yeah, that could be an issue, depending on the electronics, most will take both though, good 'ol tolerances, etc.

Derp, you could just get the different cord, if your psu has the switch.

I was almost crushed by a mountain of potatoes today as someone who is 1 generation off the boat irish the irony is not lost on me

Yeah I like this one, it's got like the whole deal, including a meter.
