Did you not find an answer yourself; i.e. ‘asshole’? Most other anatomical inserts also apply, at least the non-gendered ones.

• Does not offend any particular group, except perhaps those with a colostomy.

• Still an insult.

The remainder are generally insulting because they imply you’re so X that you must be a member of group X. I.e. calling someone brain-dead, an idiot, a moron, slow, the French word for slow etc. You can’t call someone stupid without calling them stupid, even in an indirect way.

Edit: Neanderthal and troglodyte might work on the grounds that you’re comparing them to extinct species, and of course you could go for inanimate objects e.g. thick as pigshit, as smart as a bag of rocks etc.

Funny, $200 is standard in NZ if you pre pay. Can usually post pay though as you say.

Or guess how much fuel you’re going to need and pre-auth a little more than that.

I preferred when I was running custom ROMs and could just hold the power button for a second.

It’s Spaceball One… She’s gone to Plaid.

Too hot is the least of the problems these cheap chargers are likely to have. Inadequate primary-secondary insulation tends to be far more lethal.

The point is that any unsigned image is assumed to be AI generated. You can absolutely strip the metadata or convert it to some other format (there’s always the analog hole and it has to become a bitmap to be displayed) but then you’ve lost the proof you took it.

You’d still need secure key storage hardware and trust roots in the camera like TPMs but every phone has that already…

(This is referring to the ‘signed in camera’ model)

You also want a weapon you’re familiar with and that you can control. In medieval farming communities, chances are everyone’s used a pitchfork. Axe less so.

Pitchforks also work better as infantry; they’re kind of a mini pike so they’re useful in a mass and against horses. Swing an axe in a mob and it’ll hit your neighbour.

Theoretically you could include the original signed unprocessed image (or make it available NFT-style) and let the viewer decide whether the difference to post-processed image is reasonable or unreasonable.

It would however make it impossible to partially censor images without giving away the non-AI proof, unless you had a trusted third party ™ verify the original and re-sign the censored version.

A ‘view cryptographically signed original’ button next to every instagram post would be complete LOL, though.

Are you talking about the AI generator registering on the blockchain? Because there is essentially no incentive for them to do so and every incentive for them not to.

If you mean genuine camera images being registered on the blockchain, that would give away at minimum the time the image was taken, and probably what kind of device it was taken with and all other images taken by the same user. That’s a lot of data.

Images, text etc can be generated entirely offline and independently. There is nothing to force the image to be attached to the block chain either directly or as a fingerprint.

You would have to do the opposite: when you take a picture or video (or write some text?), as it is recorded, the camera chipset signs the image/video using TPM-esque hardware, proving (ish) that it was captured by a real camera sensor.

The issue is that it’s pretty close to mandatory doxxing.

‘Reduced’ implies manufacturing changes. What if, once the product is reduced, it still can’t be reused/recycled?

What if the intended life of a product is 50 years maintenance-free after which it’s landfill? Can’t be reused, can’t be refurbed, can’t be recycled - but it’s still generally a good use of resources.

In many products, there’s a repair-reliability tradeoff. If you pot it, you can’t repair failures, but you’ll reduce the failure rate by >90%. Repair shops hate it because the ones they see can’t be fixed, but they’ don’t see all the ‘easy repairs’ that never needed doing in the first place.

ToS is effectively a contract.

This interpretation of the ToS could be deemed unconscionable, but that seems like the kind of argument that takes a judge and 5-6 figures in legal fees to settle.

An arbitrator is just going to read it, say ‘yup, you broke the rule’, and side with the company.

I would hope so. CFRA seems to be the only explicit protection.

If it was just plain old trademark/copyright law, you’d be right.

It sounds like Tesla are basically saying that you signed an NDA/non-disparagement clause when you bought the vehicle, and therefore it’s a contract dispute.

Doh.

If you mean the bar, then even stainless of that size is going to be very low resistance - milliohms?

If you mean the body, then I believe it gets complicated. Skin resistance will be diminished by the piercings having a relatively large contact area and probably being somewhat sweat covered - I’m not sure exactly what the ‘skin’ inside the piercing tunnel is like. Certainly you can feel current from a 9V across the wet inner-body skin of your tongue.

The internal path will be quite low resistance because the inside of the body is a sack full of salty water.

It wouldn’t be fatal, even across the chest, but it could hurt.

Wouldn’t expect the bar itself to get hot; just the battery. The bar will be very low resistance and therefore only a tiny portion of the total heat will end up in it.

Now, if you stuck one terminal to one piercing and another terminal to another piercing, then you might have a bad time…

Closed loops evaporate stuff all. This is 100% from evaporative cooling towers.

If they were using DX or air-to-water chillers the water usage would be negligible. Like how often you top up the radiator in your car.

No, no, he’s saying the lesbians give the best BJs…

Also:

Thin stamped construction is cheap, but can still be fitted with sleeving on the live (active and neutral) pins like UK & europlug, but not US plugs. This prevents objects or fingers getting to live pins on a partially inserted plug.

Industry has agreed that leads exit either straight out, or down-and-right, so there is no conflict for horizontal or vertical sockets. Sockets are universally installed earth-down.

Reasonably compact.

I found opensuse’s default firewall rules were very restrictive and you needed to open a port.
