        I'm surprised they'd get rid of the Clone Wars. It followed the movies very closely and tied together the 2nd and 3rd prequel. -- nm - Mop Sep 23, 12:14

  - You don't need a converter, only the adapter. Almost all modern electronics can handle 110v or 240v. - spamlet Sep 23, 12:06 5
    - thanks, -- nm - Andie Sep 23, 12:07 4
      - If you want to check, they'll always be stamped with the voltage they can handle. It's in the tiny print somewhere on the charger. -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 12:08 3

      - No. But if we want to build a compound, I suggest we buy Sturt Island. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 23, 11:16 3
        
        nice -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 11:34 1
        
        It's located in Surge Narrows - the current is so fast there that it would wash away any zombies or ghost pirates. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 11:36

      - that the NYTimes would have an editorial on a subject of major concern to it's readers? I guess so. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 11:15 2
        
        I really doubt this is a major concern to even NYT readers. -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 12:07
        
        no, that you had it ready so fast. You're like quick draw mcgraw with the NYT links -- nm - CQ Sep 23, 11:16
