Dude was nice, psychotic(once you got over his horrifying face, his mind was a mess, his sentences were only a bit related to what he was trying to say, but he was not a bad person at all- You could figure his meaning out after listening to him for a while. It was one of the most tragic states of having to live I had ever seen, and that was his own opinon. Without this affliction, he'd have been a major figure in history.) and an addict, but I hope he's doing better now.

This is a good tip and it even mentions an interesting useless fact I just learned, that most indicators blink using a very simple mechanical heat switch which is very slightly affected by the environment and how much power the other components of your car are using at the moment.

This is why no two cars' blinkers can ever synchronize at a stop light

Reply to comment by katycake in TIL that the southern United States converted all 11,500+ miles of its railroads from broad gauge (5 ft/1.524 m) to nearly-standard gauge (4 ft 9 in/1.448 m) in just 36 hours, starting on May 31, 1886 by 1859

Of course. That'd be the plug type F(used in most of Europe, Jordan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Turkey, Uruguay and Vietnam) that is just two prongs which are always grounded, can be inserted both ways and don't allow flow unless they are fully in the socket, preventing almost all accidents

I don't know enough about other sockets to compare them, but the american one(Plugs A and B) has a funny face and is only sometimes grounded(Type B), which is a bad idea for consumers
