If the transformer is in the same housing at the plug with a separate cable (as shown): wall wart.

If the DC cable is attached, it's a charger.

Couples who play MMOs together have that kinkiest sex lives. There, I said it.

If you can't make a broken family at home, store-bought is fine.

Mortgage payments are almost universally lower than rent payments. With rent, you're paying for upkeep, maintenance, administration, a profit margin and the landlord's mortgage.

Yes, it is considered good protocol to include the header.

How do you improve this? Easy. You improve it the same way you improve the Sistine Chapel, There Will Come Soft Rains or Nick Offerman's moustache: you leave it the fuck alone.
