Doubt it's legal here, but how many folks will go to the cops & tell them they were zapped by a booby trap on a bait bike they tried to steal? :D There is a number of dumb crook awards for people going to the cops about dope deals gone bad, or not happy with the services rendered (or not...

Not true, 110/ 220 is obsolete in the US, there 120/240V, single phase, 120/240V 3 phase (some power companies are not supplying it to new customers anymore) I do not care for it because of the 208V high leg, 208Y/120V, and 480Y/277V, Canada uses 600Y/347V rather then 480Y/277V. The primary...
The US has not used 110, 220 volts since before WWII, it was raised to 115/230V before going to the current 120/240V standard, but then there is 208Y/120V, and 480Y/277V, 400/230V is way simpler but that is what happens because Edison's 110V DC was well established before AEG started peddling...
Those who use the death penalty in the US as a example have realize that in all cases it takes years before a sentence is carried out, here in CA there are 743 residents on death row, they have a better chance of dying of old age then being put down, so there is no deterrent IMO, other then if...

which he also unfolds -
to reveal a condom.
The condom has a...
