If you ask for "tea" at a restaurant, what happens and where do you live? (self.asklemmy)

In the South East, they bring you sweetened (usually far too sweetened for my tastes) iced tea. This is amazingly universal.

I live in NC and have been probing the border for years.

For "nicer" restaurants, the universal sweet tea boundary seems to be precisely at the NC/VA border.

That's not how it works.

Since the voltage is half and the amperage is the same half the wattage is supplied to heat water. This means it takes longer not that it doesn't work.

OP also said they received hot water in a kettle not that they received an electric kettle in which to heat it in.

If electricity works in the US, what is Texas bitching about when its cold?

Same thing they bitch about when it's hot 😂

Plus I'm pretty sure the world's simplest circuit would be able to up the wattage. This person would have to believe so many things didn't work it's kinda nuts.
