In Memex crowd thinking environment for thoughts unthinkable to separate beings, human-machine general intelligence raises superintelligent offspring to help all life.
What we really need is a USB-C-style reversible plug with data and variable voltage where neutral and phase never reverse and earth is always there.
Lacking that, I vote for Type N because it’s small, polarised, and the pins are halfway-insulated. I don’t like that the frame is symmetrical, so in the dark, the only way to tell which way to plug in is to feel the pins and the holes, same as USB-A. I reject all that hurt to step on.
It’s different: radiation of long-wave infrared balanced against absorption of ambient light.
Look at the sun through a white shirt, then black. Which is brighter?
“The amount of heat gained by a Bedouin exposed to the hot desert is the same whether he wears a black or a white robe. The additional heat absorbed by the black robe was lost before it reached the skin.”
Bedouin robes, the scientists noted, are worn loose. Inside, the cooling happens by convection - either through a bellows action, as the robes flow in the wind, or by a chimney sort of effect, as air rises between robe and skin.
Thus it was conclusively demonstrated that, at least for Bedouin robes, black is as cool as any other colour.

Awful. The whole curve is 2021 and the cost is mystery money?
Found through the comments on Reddit:
A cool guide would have explained the underlying rule that helps you remember these.
Can’t plug it in with one hand. The cover needs an opening mechanism.
