I’m still disappointed that you decided against the Last of the Mohicans haircut and loincloth. So much lost EV.

That's cool, but don't rush into anything. There are several ways to "buy gold". Gold jewelry, gold coins (krugerrands!), gold ingots, gold certificates, even gold stocks. Afaik, large scale purchases of gold bullion are out.

Do some research, maybe even talk to a financial advisor. Not the filthy way on that last one, I know.

English language is weird.

You could say "up for that" or "down for that" & it would mean the exact same thing...

My English has become a lot more boring after spending a lot of time talking to non-native speakers. It really makes you take notice of how much of our speech is completely idiomatic.

Ok Silicon Valley here is your next billion dollar idea - the semi-smart phone. Design a UI so simple even people who have trouble mastering texting can use it. Then and only then can they add other features.

Archer isn't even that good. I actually think watching old episodes of the classic Jonny Quest would be way funnier and way more entertaining than the ham-handed tired irony of Archer.

I bought a new charger for my phone but I'm afraid to use it. The voltage here is 220. But I bought this phone in the US. The device says 100-240V. But it also says Caution: No voltage conversion. That means it will fry my phone. Right? It's a thing that plugs into the wall and it has USB slots where I plug in the phone.

I think you're safe, but I would still get your roommate to plug his phone into it first.

I would say you're 90% fine. If you show me a picture of the charger spec plate, I might up that to 100%.

Don't have it with me at this moment. The thing has a bunch of plugs and says it can be used in 150 countries. So that sounds like it should work? I just don't know the mechanics of how it takes the energy and then puts it into the USB ports. Does that process save me? The thing also has a place to just plug in a plug so that it works as a simple outlet adapter. That would fry something for sure. But I'm ignorant of how USB charging works.

The A/C outlet extension is still 220v.

The enclosed paper was ambiguous. What specifically should I look for on it?

Post pics, but I’m like 97% sure that you’re good. Also, I feel like we’ve had this pub convo before. Bonus also, If you’ve never fried an electronic device abroad, you’re being too nitty.
