Totally on brand for him. Steal the fruits of others' hard labor and keep it for his own. Bonus points if there is only one thing, like a trophy. Then, if anything goes wrong, blame someone else.
Maybe they should have accepted the grant money back in 2021 while saying "we do not want to be bought by the Biden administration" and used it for a flood warning system rather than accept the money while saying "we do not want to be bought by the Biden administration" and then splitting the money up between their sheriffs and other worker stipends.
Individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) typically struggle significantly with taking genuine accountability for their actions and the impact they have on others.
Nope, it generally is not a good idea to try that. It might possibly work, but European power typically runs at 50hz (50 cycles per second) and the US is designed at 60hz. This small difference can mean that a European device would operate more quickly than designed. This is especially an issue with devices that have internal timers or motors.
Also, we have different plugs in the US for our 240v appliances, which would mean an interesting plug adapter situation.
So it could possibly work, or it could break the thing, or start a fire. Generally not for the faint of heart and definitely should consult an electrician.
I have one too! It's super old but works amazingly for small things like individual cups of tea or hot chocolate for the kids. Got it as a white elephant gift that someone thought was a joke. I was super excited to get it. We have several kettles too.
I use them all the time! Unfortunately though our power system uses 120v and not 240v so our kettles aren't as effective here. Still, MUCH more effective than boiling on the gas or electric stovetop/range.
Ironically it was after I spent time in Europe for work in the early 2000s that I picked up on this and bought one for my house. Now with my family of four, we use them regularly.
Edit - also Technology Connections (my favorite nerd out YouTube channel) did a video on this.
And I'm an absolute bonehead for missing that this is the same video as OP posted. Please forgive me for being excited as an American that uses kettles!
I'll leave this here as a reminder. I bet you he actually did this. If not, why did he settle the case?
Then Epstein beat her because he said he should have been the one to take her virginity, not trump.
