just occured to me... 700 watt block heater... running for 2 hours, could get pricey
Probably not much different than falling asleep with your TV on.

to bad you cant rewire these block heaters to run 220. it sure would drop the amp draw

I've never quite understood how 220 is more efficient than 110.

Voltage = Pressure. Its what pushes the amps through the resistance. Therefor with twice the pressure it is twice as easy to push the same amps through the same resistance. (or something like that)

I went with the 50" Sony LCD TV. I think it's a power *****, but I dunno.

thats the best explination of volt amp relationship ive seen in a long time.

out here in az i worked in a few copper mines where they run 4160v motors to run crushers and other equipment. the higher the voltage the lower the actual cost to run something.

I drive through Binghamton whenever I go home.

Question for ya....

Does the sun EVER FRIGGIN' shine in that city?

Everytime I drive through, it's either cloudly, raining, or snowing.

There is a bridge not to far down 88; heading toward Albany. It was snowing like mad (I mean white out mad) and I had to stop and, uhhh, releave myself. A friggin plow truck came over the bridge. I thought I got hit by an avalanche. Yeah, that truly sucked. Wife was laughing her **** off. I looked like the friggin abominal snowman when I got back in the truck.

Gotta be honest with ya bro....... Binghamscum is NY state's dumping ground for the welfare recipients. It's horrible in the actual city, and surrounding areas. Too many do-rags, puffy coats. Not enough Kramers.....lol.


I am in Endicott. The birthplace of IBM. This area was huge in it's day. Now it's turning into a rundown, cesspool of criminals.


It sickens me.
