April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

Member- You'll gonna need a cable for that charger. Sold separately of course.
- Also, if you'll gonna charge it with the non-Apple brand electricity, you'll void your warranty.

BlockedAs my friend found out the hard way if you don't use the correct charger you'll fry whatever you are trying to charge.
What happened was he and I were playing No Way Out. We got to the last chapter when his controller started dying. He went to plug it in and fried it but didn't know it. He couldn't get it to work so he thought to try a different charger and went to find it. He texts me that it wasn't working and that he thinks he fried it. He always used his phone charger since his actual charger broke. He had replaced his old phone charger as it had a frayed wire. It didn't occur to him that things need specific current strength to charge or the electronics will overcharge and fry. See his new charger was a turbo charger that just so happened to also fit his controller. He thought it would charge his controller faster but the current was too strong and fried it. He went to Wal-Mart later that night to replace it but the store was closed. He went the next day to find out it wouldn't have mattered if the store was open the previous night because they didn't have any at that time anyway. So he ran to the store in the middle of the night for no reason at all. He replaced his controller and got a charger and we finished No Way Out.
