Bwahahahaha......... I took a video of mine working at the Production Way Macs. It's so sexy, I don't think I can upload it here. Basically, you choose your flavour/cup and peel back the lid slowly, then completely off. Then you slide that cup into the holder. The thing lifts the cup up and into the upper chamber. Everything is covered, so there's no chance of contamination. The blender whips and froths that shit up. Once done, the cup comes down from the upper chamber. That's about it.
Actually, the blender at Production way looks much more advance. It's like Enterprise NX-01 vs NCC 1701E

Here's a video.
Now I really want to try one. These machines are pretty neat.
Why doesn't McDonald's have a self cleaning machine? Why do they shut down ice cream machines all night?!
^I know someone who worked at a Wendy's who claims they where they were having issues with their Frosty machine dispensing really slowly. They finally took it apart and discovered a bandaid.

Good........ I had the Szechuan, but not the eyetalian.
The Szechuan was decent, but the Aussie wins the contest.
When eating the Aussie, make sure everything is centred before you eat it. It can be a bit messy. The egg............. damn, the beets were a nice touch, but there wasn't enough of it.
The problem with this stuff is, it's very inconsistent. I had the Szechuan twice and the results were very different. One location cheaped out on the sauce. It didn't taste anything like it was supposed to. I took the burger back to complain that they missed the sauce. Server goes, check under the patty.......... yeah. Two drops of the shit. Anyway.........

In-law asked me a quick question and I have no immediate answer for it. Quick google turned out mixed answers
I've converted a set of plugs in the garage to 220v to use some tools I recycled from friend when he upgraded and also to prepare for our future EV car charging.
The installation was fairly simple I think. The electrician was in the garage (where the panel is) for about an hour and I was out $280 between part and labour; from I could tell he changed a few wires and plugs and voila.
My in-law has an apartment in China where the standard is 220v. He has a bunch of US/JP electronics that use 100/110v and runs 2 big ass converters. Will the reverse procedure (220v down to 110v) similar or it's a whole different story?
What are you running many electronics are dual voltage so will run on 220 and 110. I hall that I have DJ'd at has a 220v outlet. They give me a cord that has a small sub panel with a couple of circuit breakers and 4 standard outlets I can plug into.
__________________ Until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.
From what I saw, the electrician changed the wires that was running to the plugs, also the socket to an appropriate one for the voltage, changed some wiring in the panel and I had 220v running on those plugs. I don't think there's any hardware that actually converts 110v to 220v at panel. I felt that it's like he flipped a switch and it was running at 220v... only had to update the wires to be up to code.
So my question was, if my in-law were to do that same thing in reverse for his apt in China (getting a few 110v outlets out of a panel that's 220v standard), will the process be similar or it's a lot more work (hence money) ?

north america is basically 2x 110v hot wire with one neutral to make 240v
I believe china is a bit different, the hot is already 220v/240v so only way is to step down transformer to get 110v.

For this part, he's telling you to check the power requirements for the items that you want to plug in. Some electronics, even though it was purchased in NA (or Japan) can be plugged into an outlet up to 220v (look for the input voltage on the label). I didn't know this when I was younger, we were travelling in Europe and I had a laptop that I charged in the bathroom b/c it had a 110v outlet. I told my friend when we returned home and he told me about the voltage range.
Otherwise, yes, a step down transformer should work (although, you said "big ass converters", maybe they are already using them), they do come in different sizes.

This. A lot of stuff you can just change the power cable and be good to go. They'll say something like 100-240V on the label.

The whole idea is to get rid of the big ass converters as they take up countertop spaces... and he needs to check on the wattage every time he uses something from Canada to make sure the converter would be able to handle it.
So, when I told him how simple it seemed the 220v plug conversion I did, he wondered if it was possible to make the other way around in China so he can use electronics from here or Japan with ease as long as they are in the converted plug.
i'm assuming what your electrician did at your panel for your 220V receptacle in your home is putting in a 2 pole breaker (a fatter breaker that takes 2 spots).
120V will be a 1 pole breaker (skinny breaker - most of the breakers in your panel at home are 1 pole).
dunno what they run at over in china, but i don't see why he can't get an electrician in to do the opposite, put in a 1 pole 15A breaker and spot a 15/20A north american style receptacle somewhere.
i know in my old house we had some funky 2xx V plug as the previous owner was from india and they used that plug for a kitchen appliance from there.

because the rest of the world wasn't bound by Edison and ended up using a higher voltage single pole system

Or just buy a Benzomatic TS8000 from Home depot. Oh wait, it doesn't come in match-my-kitchen white, or with the deluxe searing grill. Must be why it's $100 cheaper for the same torch head...
