Haunted Mansion movie in July seems weird. Closer to Halloween seems more right. -- nm - budice Jul 12, 06:25 2
- I didn't realize until this week that it came out this month. And agreed, is very weird. -- nm - sycor Jul 12, 06:32

for a portable L2 charger, do I want L1 compatible and 16A or up to 32 A and not L1 compatible? it's mainly for emergencies so... - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 12, 06:09 8
- Can you link what you're looking at? -- nm - spamlet Jul 12, 06:43

      - my car came with an L1. in theory I could carry both. I guess the question is "am I buying an absolute emergency charger or a charger for sasha's?" - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 12, 06:22 2
        
        if you're going to charge at a place you're spending hours and hours at anyway, the speed won't matter. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 06:26 1
        
        exactly my thought. I mean, L1 is really not fast enough, but the slow L2 is fine for like overnight trips. thank you for your time. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 12, 06:32

      - right. we have to use special ones in most parts of Canada that can cover the extra cold. A lot of people got screwed early on by getting ones not - Beaker 🍺 Jul 12, 04:48
