Hello. In which countries in the world, if any, is it legal to go completely naked in public? Note that this is NOT a request for legal advice; it is a general inquiry about laws relating to public nudity. Freeknowledgecreator ( talk) 07:18, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

I have a portable ice maker that's almost useless, because the ice forms a "ladder", with each piece frozen to the previous piece, up to the electric eye, that makes the machine think it's full:
OOOOO <- | O+------ | O| | O| | O| | O| +-------------+
I have another ice machine (same model) where the electric eye has failed in such a way that it always thinks there's more room. This works much better in that it fills the ice bucket. There is some risk it may overflow, but I put a water-proof tray under it to catch any fallen ice and can also keep that from happening by limiting the amount of water I pour in.
So, if I were to take it apart, would there be two wires I could cut and shunt together to bypass the electric eye ? One potential problem is that presumably the wattage going into the sending side is considerably more than that coming out of the receiving side, so just connecting those two wires directly might not work. Would some type of dimmer switch be in order to address this ? (Would a rheostat generate too much heat ?) I haven't opened it up yet, as I want to know if I have a reasonable chance of success or I won't make the attempt. So, will I find one wire going in and one going out on each side, or will there be a large nest of wires on each side ? And what color wires should I shunt together ?
The ice maker is made in China, which may explain the poorly tested design. SinisterLefty ( talk) 14:59, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, when the killer calls him and he says in front of the TV "just watching the game", what sport is he actually watching? ? Thanks a lot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.41.100.198 ( talk) 16:14, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
In the USA, there has always been electronic voting. I wonder in touch screen systems (DRE) if the memory cards are inserted in the central computer in the precicnt or these memory cards must be transported to a more distant place. I mean in polling place do you vote only and are the votes counted elsewhere? Thanks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.41.100.198 ( talk) 20:52, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
You are right, sorry; my fault, all my fault, only my fault. Call it a mistake, an inappropriate expression, gaffe or whatever. I just wanted to say that the electroinic vote in the US has long been consolidated, and I hope I haven't played a chance to answer.
