I opened a spare battery charger I have here, and it is beyond simple. The primary goes straight into the transformer through the switch on the front (and a thermal fuse inside the transformer), and the secondary goes straight into a beefy half-wave rectifier module (which seems to be custom or extremely rare, since I can't find one like it on Mouser) and out the cord; the negative goes back to the secondary's center tap through the ammeter on the front panel.
There's no filtering at all. This means that it's OK for charging a battery or running a car stereo (the battery doesn't care about ripple and the car stereo has nice big filter caps in it), but not for powering something more sensitive.

I'm watching the NChick's Top 10 Worst Disney Sequels and Midquels, and the interlude is, shall we say, appropriately horrible. It's this autotuned, backbeated version of "When You Wish Upon a Star" that sounds like it was sung by a Vocaloid. :P

I watched that one.
That version is indeed horrible. Horripilative, even.

is 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure in there
I would direct you towards Cardcaptor Sakura instead, personally.
Depends on what you liked about Sailor Moon.
Personally, I prefer Pretty Cure. That's not to say CCS is a bad thing, though.
I am not very familiar with CCS, but from what I've heard it uses the traditional magical girl formula where girl gets magical powers, cute mascot familiar creature, and goes and does stuff and probably has to balance school/family/social life and magical girl life and such. Probably gets a love interest.
The Pretty Cure metaseries is probably best known for adding a lot more action to the magical girl formula.
Ironically, Sailor Moon is not as close to the traditional magical girl formula as CCS is, as far as I know. Sailor Moon takes some influences from the hero team genre.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
(yes, I have actually picked up lingo from the entertainment industry...even Disney referred to Marvel's characters as "branded" when they bought the company)
Lauded as a revolutionary device that'll change the way we make music forever.
But to be more accurate, it's the power-glove: synthesizer edition. Useful for performances, and no doubt helpful to a certain subset of people, but ultimately takes more effort than just doing the same thing with standard controls.
But it's still ten times better at being the power-glove than the power-glove was, and that's worth some bit of excitement, I suppose.
Okay, the description cut at the beginning of "Top 10 'Hottest' Animated Guys" (to Todd, in front of his computer, chowing down on Hot Pockets and singing along to "California Gurls") is one of the funniest things I've ever seen the NChick do. :D

Do you really care about people using paper plates? I could probably name 10 things I do (or you do) that are much more wasteful.
Yes I do. They're ridiculous and you have to be incredibly lazy to use them regularly. I really don't care how much of a "penny pincher" you say you are.
My main problem with them is the whole attitude that comes with using them. In my mind, they are the pinnacle of American consumerist laziness. Absolutely zero thought going into the consequence of using them, and people only use them to save the 10 seconds or so it would have taken to wash a plate instead. They are a needless expense, and needlessly wasteful. The type of person to regularly use paper plates is the same type of person that needs the largest trash can available for weekly pickup despite leaving alone or with one other person. They're just unnecessary and thoughtless.
Man, goons choose the weirdest things to rage about.

i would never invest like a full paragraph into this topic but i agree with the sentiments expressed here
that said paper plates are cool if you're having a picnic or something
Or if it's a day when the sink is full and you don't feel like doing dishes. It happens, and I don't think anyone's going to cry about 4 or 5 paper pates getting thrown out. (Now, if they're plastic plates, then yeah, wash and reuse those!)

are paper plates, by themselves, genuinely enough to set you off?
but then you're still wasting all the energy needed to transport the plates and whatnot
which is not a big deal suppose.
the aesthetic concerns still stand tho
the bigger concern is that it's generally not actually cheaper to buy paper plates since you'll usually spend more in the long run replacing them than you would just buying regular plastic or ceramic plates.

Maybe pick up something more contemporary, like Adventure Time.
That sort of seems like the kind of thing you might like?
Or watch something with Centy.
Nevermind, I suppose I misremembered.
That said, I really don't think calling Adventure Time mediocre is accurate.
