And it gives you the whole weekend to think of one for Monday ...

That's the hard part - I've been doing them for years but compiling them is soooooo hard

Yeah well I didn't want to do it again, but I did think that would be a little bit harder.

No, it was a good one!
Well constructed, well phrased. You were just unlucky that it went so quick!

Well, actually it's a brushless motor controller:
Custom Talon 120HV, 120AMP, 12S MAX, HEAVY DUTY BEC W / POLARIZED CONNECTOR[^]
Up to 120A/6000W continuously. Out of a battery. If that's still too playful for you: Electric cars use the same sort of motors, controllers and batteries and need even more power (probably by increasing the voltage and not by even higher currents).
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

From that site...
"Overpowering RC[Remote Control] Since..."
And that component...
"For set-ups with limited airflow, such as under canopies or in a fuselage, there is an optional 40mm fan"
Excuse me? What kind of kit is someone building to fly around their backyard that requires a cooling unit on the power controller?

As ugly as this flying style is, it requires an enormous amount of skill from the pilot, a lot of motor power (which electric motors easily can deliver) and a battery that can provide this power without instantly exploding.
The 12 serial cell battery has about 51 V fully loaded (nominal value about 44.4 V) and the motor is between 10 kW - 14 kW. With the voltage more or less fixed, this power can only be supplied trough a high current.
Are you on your way to the store to get one already?

No, I know for a fact that I do not and am unlikely to ever have such skills.

Took the family to see A Quiet Place last night. You'd think that a film that had very little in the way of dialogue couldn't present much in the way of menace but it's a testament to the skill of a very small cast that they managed to enthral us all.

Haven't seen it yet. I must admit I like 'horror' films that make you uncomfortable rather than spraying blood everywhere. I liked the 'Blair Witch Project' for that very reason...it gave you a 'sense' of menance rather than this is the bad thing it will get you...

It doesn't stray too far into the gore category, fortunately.

Might be worth a watch then...

I am looking forward to seeing this movie. I appreciate movies like this. As I get older, the need for gore in a movie to thrill me, subsides.

I would have to agree. I used to love gore-fest films but now, I prefer ones where they use acting to disturb you. The problem I have with the gore films is that I have long had a fascination with special effects so I find myself appreciating the art of the FX team, rather than enjoying the movie - it's hard to be shocked or scared when you are thinking, "Cool, so they used blood bags situated around the neck there". When a film relies on plot and dialogue instead, it's a lot easier to immerse yourself and jump when there are startling parts.

You will in any case not find any Schukoplug that is allowed for more than 16 Ampere, as that is the maximum current it is designed for.
If you want more than that you have to switch plugs.

Chances are that you aren't going to find one: most houses aren't wired for 18A anyway (certainly not in the UK) so even if you created one I'd be reluctant to use it as it could well be a major fire risk. I'd start by checking your local building codes / regulations and working from there - but I think you are going to be out of luck.
What do you want that for?

Single spur lines (usually for cooking) can be rigged to 45A (but I've never seen anything but 30A)
However I would definitely wire the WIFI switch inline rather than bother with a plug...

Yeah, but they tend to be directly wired rather than plugged and run to a separate fuse / isolator.
