Get the suboardinate mug.Two huge problems with The Golden Rule are:
(1) You cannot know what someone else prefers, so if you try to do for him what you yourself like, this does not mean that said choice of actions will be at all pleasant/agreeable for him.
(2) Few folks are actually going "practice the Golden Rule back to you", so if you attempt to "do the right thing" and give someone what you would want if you were in his shoes, he will likely just view you as a foolish sucker and take shamelessly advantage of you --- he will simply "take, take, take" from you till he's totally drained you dry, then stomp off in a huff without even a single word of appreciation or acknowledgement, and feelinglessly look for his next naive soft-heart whom he can exploitingly victimize for his own selfsish personal gain.

Get the Acapolka mug.Less-than-honest descriptions/assertions about an electrical power-supply that is supposed to produce "dee-cee" (i.e., direct current), but is in fact just a simple "ay-cee" (i.e., alternating current) transformer, with no costly diodes or capacitors included inside.
Some companies are deeceetful in their manufacturing of plug-in wall-power-packs for consumer electronics --- rather than using a "square-group" of four diodes to make a proper full-wave rectifier, they just stick a single diode in there to make a crude half-wave rectifier, which not only produces a lot more hum and much "choppier" DC voltage, but also utilizes less than half the current-output of the transformer.
