*Every* house I've ever lived in had 3-phase "on the pole". None had
3-phase service, though. My father wanted 3-phase service when they built their house in '59, but the power company wanted a minimum of $100/mo just to bring it down from the pole to the weather head. Wasn't worth it for him to work at home.
MANY street transformers are single phase only in residential areas. The main feed would in all likelihood be 3 phase, with phases separated to feed different streets/loops. Getting 3 phase power to a building in areas like this is VERY expensive.
For SOME value of populated that may be true, but almost every where I have lived, has only singe phase on the poles, in residential areas. Nearest 3 ph to me is at least a half mile.
Our building used one of the phases to feed a step down transformer that supplied 240 center tapped secondaries to us for standard services. Any power supply we made that was more than 1kW meant that we could not use our standard feeds to test it, so we had to get one leg of a three phase feed fed into our lab, which we found to be not respective to ground.
So our "120" came from whatever manner the power company used to supply the entire area. Step down transformers with the center tap of the secondary grounded at the pole, and at the service entrance and panel. No big mystery.
Id be happy to do just that. Or he can meet me in Orange County.

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement, reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"

Highly doubtful. The odds are much more favorable that one day you WILL piss off the wrong person. Indeed, we haven't heard from the military guy whose girlfriend you were so vulgar with. And he was locally SD based, right? We'll know he's reached you when we see you posting apologies. You are such a prick!
Your mother should be jailed for the felony crime of not flushing the piece of shit that you are, the moment she shat you out of the piece of shit ass that she is.
Just so you know, dumbfuck, numerical age, does not a man make, and you are the proof of that.
You're a goddamned idiot. Were what you are saying true, I would discontinue using the old ones, and that is not the case. I use every nym I ever have, and it has nothing to do with your petty little old fart pussy boy assessments.
Your flawed assessment matches your character flaws to a tee, Mikey.
I hope the infection in that jaw bone crawls up to your brain at a little faster rate. I hope it gets you, right as you think you are about to get it. Oh, and oh yeah... serious pain should accompany it.
That is the kind of response a twit like you has garnered, Mikey.
No, it is absolutely right. My post headers ID the source, and THAT is ALL you or anyone else needs to know about me. I have no legal or moral requisite to ID myself to you at a personal level.
Yawn! Same old, same old. Looks like Archie has run out of drivel. Well, he still can explain his claim of celibacy. Tell us all about how you made that choice Archie.
