US pic (note the wall outlet). That would be 60 times per second. And yes, I'm fun at parties.

Either way, that look of disappointment hertz.

You think there was resistance?

Watt, you think this is funny?

I did get a bit of a charge out of it.

Thanks Alec, now explain the refrigeration cycle again.

Gas is pumped to high pressure, then cooled into liquid in a condenser, then travels to a evaporator where it is metered through a device and allowed to expand rapidly changing to a gas. This extracts heat from the area.

Methane! I want an old-timey refrigerator that could and would explode!

That outlet could be in China as well since the two-blade and two-blade+pin plug is commonly used among many others.

China mostly has combined type A, C and I plugs in my experience (Can't see the wall outlet in the picture clear enough)

And nothing in that picture looks like it's in China. From the house, to the kid, to the Halloween costume, nothing looks Chinese.

While I definitely recall seeing a bunch, was usually a safe the As/Nz type plugs were available.

Actually thinking back on it (been like a decade now), I recall a lot of them looking like the plug on the left where NA/EU style ungrounded plugs would work in the top one, 3 blade only for grounded equipment.
