A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

The outlets are installed per-code by licensed professionals, there's nothing to worry about. You can't install them yourself without breaking the law, unless you happen to be a licensed professional.
The extension cords I linked are perfectly safe and manufactured to deal with 24/7 use & potential water exposure.
In fact there probably overkill. They're capable of 3.60kW(240 × 15 amp = 3600watts).
Just look at the company making them 😆 https://milehydro.com/
Just don't use them outside and you'll be fine.
You've got it! Good catch on that extension. 20% over is probably safe, if the manufacturer rated it with enough headroom.
Yup. With good reason. I DO actually want to get a 240V installed specifically for this purpose myself. Just too pricy to justify/afford at the moment between permit and electrician costs. I'd wager that the cost is well outside of the realm of affordable for a good portion of people, especially those who are not licensed electricians or able to buy a home.
Yeah getting new ones installed is costly, but most homes & apartments should have at least one and these 25ft extension cords are likely more than enough as a substitute unless you get really unlucky where the only one is in the basement which would really suck.
