That did surprise me as well. I might need to readjust my opinion of him.

Hm, would you burn oil to fight climate change? Fell trees to advertise for forest preservation?

It’s the age old question of whether the ends do justify the means.

There comes a certain point where wealth ceases to be a blessing, and managing it becomes a full time occupation. I can respect this decision.

All the more reason to level the playing field, eh?

“They … they’ve hit me, Finn” Enderal, a should-play

“Monstrous size has no intrinsic merit, unless inordinate exsanguination be considered a virtue.” And so SO many others from Darkest Dungeon. “Commander” from the newer X-Com games … tha dark, rapsy voice

Isn’t that Darkest Dungeon?

No, the idea is not “that she can’t speak”, wherever you may have gotten that from.

But yes, her mouth is ridiculously small indeed! I am fairly certain that these overdrawn features are supposed to look cuter in this style, which kind of works if you don’t pay too much mind.

Ah, I was wondering where all the Karens went.

I mean, yes of course I would, but solely because I somehow voted for Trump.

Because expunging an endemic disease is a hell of a lot of effort. Zero Covid didn’t work (ask Winnie the Pooh), so most efforts were undertaken instead to weather the large amount of simultaneous harsh cases where patients required a ventilator and constant medical attention.

Would it be possible? Probably, but do you really want to convince Billions of people worldwide to regularly buy and use tests, masks and to distance where possible for a few years? I mean, I’m in Biotech, I’d live a fulfilled live employment-wise - if I don’t get gunned down due to political violence that would ensue.

It’s an anti-missile system. To shoot down incoming missiles.

Great answers already, I’d like to add a few things: Lithium batteries like to be charged at 1C, meaning that if they have a capacity of 1.6 Ah they like to be charged at 1.6 A and will (theoretically) be fully charged in one hour (this is wrong in practice though). You can charge most of them at a higher rate (e.g. at 3.2 A), but they should be rated for it. If you don’t better, stick to a lower amperage. Too low of an amperage should not be an issue but I’m not sure - it will take ages though.

The voltage has to fit! Batteries change their voltage over the course of charging/discharging. This is more pronounced in older NiMH or NiCdH (discard those) batteries but still relevant. A 12V charger can charge your batteries to 12V. Most chargers can handle different voltages and will usually select the correct voltage depending on the battery. This is important if you are charging LiIons or LiPos (two types of Lithium batteries), as overcharging them is NOT advised. They generally peak at around 4.2V per cell I think with a working charge (don’t know the term) of 3.7V per cell. Some chargers require you to select the number of cells. Charging a 2-cell LiPo with 12-13 volt is a bad idea I wager and charging a 3-cell LiPo with 9.something volt won’t work (it won’t drain it, but the minimal voltage is higher than what the charger provides - current would like to flow the other way if It could).

TL,DR: If you can adjust the charging parameters manually or you are doing something the manual states you shouldn’t be doing, educate yourself. If however you only plug in your phone (with a painfully small battery at 2 Ah) and only provide a 1.5A*5V=7.5W charger, you are perfectly fine.

Hot take.

I don’t mean to imply anything, but this post was listed maybe one scroll away from the piracy community welcoming everyone to SimpleX. Unfortunate timing.

That’s a fair assessment

I’ll probably have some tea, thanks :) Feel better now that I’ve slept

Considering all the provocation, I can’t say Israel might not be illegitimate. Did that offend you or scratch the wrong nerve? Maybe violence is never the right answer, but simpy the easier or even only one.

Sorry it had to be you, I’m probably looking for a fight right now. World’s been on my nerve.

Something to remember: thicker filaments, while they do last longer, worsen the ratio of light to heat.

How is mainstream media?

Thing is, they already have their explanation: Alpine glacial recession was caused by mountain warfare in WW1, beacuse they blew literal hole in there. That destabilised it.
