  • My guess would be yes, somewhat, probably. but maybe not much. As he says in the last part of the video: If it gets hot, you have a problem.

    Better ask an electrician.

    The devices sold as “EV wall chargers” are not really chargers. They’re simple power suppliy units, whether or not it has bells and whistles to time the charging and what not.

    The actual battery charger is in the car. It will attempt to suck as much energy from the PSU as it can and it will itself balance the load and all that. Having a separate unit also trying to regulate the load seems like something that will inevitably create more heat than necessary somewhere in that chain.

    Generally speaking you do not need to protect the car from unstable supply. It will protect itself.

    I will still recommend getting a proper “EV charger” to ensure that it can utilize all the phases unlike a regular garage plug. Also to ensure that it is properly grounded, which can be an issue for some cars.

    At least here in Europe, where we have 3 phases. It’s much better to have all 3 phases wide open and let the car suck a little on each, instead of having it overloading a single phase through a granny plug.

    I know the American 2 phase circuit is different, but I still believe it’s better not to put any more heat inducing obstructions in the chain.







  • The kids are going to be alright. They grew up with phones and learned in schools that there are times when it’s inappropriate to use it.

    I’m much more worried about the older people who have absolutely no etiquette for phone usage.

    When my teenager has friends over they literally stack their phones and do whatever they met up to do.

    When the grandparents come over they sit and fiddle candy crush and Facebook like their life depended on it.




  • It’s not directly banned in Denmark. It’s basically non-existent, and as such difficult to find people who cares enough about banning it.

    Indirectly it is already illegal, because it’s illegal to treat anyone for anything against their will. This includes children.

    However, there are still people who send their children to a therapist or a doctor. I don’t know if a ban would change their minds in any way. Perhaps it’s better that the parents get to have that conversation with a doctor instead of just being angry at a law and seeking help at alternative places through religion or whatever. They’d probably do that with or without a law anyway, so if anything, it’s actually better if they have the opportunity to talk to a professional therapist first without just getting told off.

    Politicians don’t want to deal with it. They’re afraid the backlash from people who are against all things “woke”, would be bigger than the support from anyone who actually cares about the virtue signaling.

    If the practice is actually widespread and secretly done in religious circles, we would benefit from hearing those stories.





  • There’s a sort of labyrinth called Troy Town labyrinths that supposedly have the effect of solving problems for anyone who walks it. It’s obviously pseudo numble jumble, but there might be something to it.

    It’s not a labyrinth as such, because there’s only one route from the entrance to the center and no choices to be made. It’s laid out so that the turns go both left and right and the length varies between turns.

    Walking through it requires very little thinking and is not super exciting, but the changes ln direction at unpredictable times are enough to keep the consciousness occupied so the subconscious mind can get to work.

    Historically they were used for worshipping, which aligns with the idea of getting revelations.

    I’m not sure if it’s better or worse than a regular walk in the park, but I think there’s a point to it, because it removes all conscious choices and gets you into the zone of just “doing” something, allowing the brain to work without interference.

    Try it, if you can find one.
