a used heater

We bought a new (used) heater and it only works on certain wall sockets and only if you let it heat very gradually. ¥40,000 probably in doubt… The model shows promise but this used instance seems to be no good.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
