Rumors are flying.

he also said he doesn’t ski for the same reasoning…
I still don’t think I understand this notion of ConEd “dialing down” the voltage by 5%.
So, instead of it being 115 volts, the power is 109 volts?
How does that effect the efficiency and operation of my appliances?! And if it’s not harmful, why don’t they jut keep it that way?
Perhaps, but Wasder’s blanket statements about people who choose to ride around on 2 wheeled vehicles royally pissed me (and others) off. I actually asked him *specifically* what he thought about Vespa riders, to which I got no answer. Pffffft!
bowl of dicks, how stupid and tasteless of you to use this tragedy to mischaracterize Wasder’s avowed avoidance of hi-risk activities.
RE: Vespa accident. Huge condolences for the deceased and her family. Thank goodness none of her children were on the back.
Wasder, I trust you will be blaming this woman for her own tragic death, like you did for last month’s crotch rocket accident on Atlantic.
