We do have 15, 20, and 25A sockets, but these (especially the latter two) are quite uncommon (in the home) and most appliances which require more than 10A are hardwired on dedicated circuits such as for ovens, cooktops and ranges. Our typical clothes dryers just plug in though, with hardwired mainly found in laundromats and other commercial spaces.
I've always found this fascinating about Canada and the US. Both legs are +/- 120V potential to ground, and 240V between them. Here in Australia, everything in my house is 230V between active(hot) and neutral, both for plug in appliances and hard wired stuff like my heat pump (We call it a reverse cycle air conditioner here). Almost every house I've ever lived in has had one.
My old resistive clothes dryer just plugged into a standard 10A outlet like everything else. My current heat pump dryer uses 1/5 the energy though and has already paid for the extra purchase cost over the past three years.
I got scammed in Thailand. A guy on the street let me hold his slow loris. My friend took a couple of photos while it was trying to climb onto my hat, and only then did the guy tell me that photos were 200 baht each. Best scam ever.
Buy some non US-based cloud storage and copy all your sensitive data to it, and delete said data from personal devices before leaving the country, so you can safely allow customs access to devices if required.
Retrieve data from the cloud when you arrive in the destination country.
I have a phone running GrapheneOS. What would happen if I gave them my duress PIN at the US border when compelled to do so? If entered, the duress PIN will immediately wipe the phone.
I found a cinder block on the sidewalk, and moved it to the road. Hid behind a tree and watched some poor guy in a van run over it, blowing a front tyre and doing some body damage. Thought it was funny at the time.
I drive a pickup (necessary for work) with a removable tow hitch. I take it off when I'm not towing for exactly this reason.
