    Not really. They’re kinda slow and I’m pretty sure that 6bore bear slug is gonna take care of the overgrown chicken.

    Granted… said 6bore would likely take care of the fake one, but I’m not willing to find out. The horde of. Randy lovers, they’re the terrifying ones in this calculation.

    And that means big bird is more terrifying than either!








  • Most cars have an electro-mechanical lock; with a physical connection between the interior door pull and the lock that pulls the bolt back if you’re trying to get out.

    This is an industry standard safety feature, and has been for decades.

    Tesla, in their infinite TechBro Douchiness decided they knew better than the entire car industry and took that out. Their locked are electrically activated.

    Also?

    Because of the risk of electrocution, and fires caused by snorts, Teslas turn off the power if it detects a crash.

    Fortunately, regulations require that cars sold in the US have a mechanical release somewhere accessible from the inside.

    Unfortunately for Tesla drivers, Musk doesn’t care about their customers dying in their cars and have opted to make it both non-obvious as to where it is, and frequently actually-hard to activate in an emergency.

    This is why a few people have died inside Tesla car fires- being unable to get out.

    The response by consumers is for them to add pull-thingies to make it obvious and simple. Like most models, it’s hidden under panels or carpet. Now imagine removing those panels when you’re freaking out because your car is on fire and doing something you’ve almost certainly never practiced.

    (This lack of safety conscious design is one of the biggest reasons I will never drive a Tesla.)




  • Is that good enough? Who’s responsibility is it to check? Are vendors always supposed to keep tabs on their customers or is it a good enough excuse to say “naughty customer we told you not to do that”?

    if you create a rule, be it like a law, or a thing in a license agreement; or like, parents telling kids how to behave… It needs to be enforceable. Which means there needs to be some mechanism for identifying people who violate it.

    The obligation is on the vendor for ensuring their ToS’s are complied with; and have mechanisms in place to validate that. just saying “well that’s against our ToS” and expecting everyone to follow it is kinda like making a law that says “you’re not allowed to think about the color blue.”

    and by the way, if you think Win 11 isn’t telling MS everything you do; I got news for you. Now if win 11 or whatever tool they’re using is reporting on what the [defense contractor with classified secrets] is doing, that’s a different matter. But, it’s probably not actually a rule, and that’s probably some spin doc spining up the bullshit machine.






  • Well, I don’t mind making jokes because it’s basically “just” a giant taser hooked up to a massive pulsed power source. it shoots a wire at something, which then makes contact with ground and it dumps all the stored power through that wire, turning it to plasma and making lightning.

    that tower isn’t just to raise the turret up- that is the cap bank. Getting that thing anywhere near Trump would be a shocking display of incompetence. or complicity.

    also, I don’t have the resources or expertise to build it. lols.





  • Edit: and it appears you’ve just gone back and downvoted me. Well done. You’ve really showed me who was right here.

    Lol. Because you’re wrong and being insufferable about it.

    It’s not my job to force you agree with very minor misuses of esoteric bits of language that I happen to know a fair bit about and can (and have) backed up.

    You haven’t backed up anything.

    Nark is recognized as correct spelling. Dictionaries don’t include misspellings in entries. You don’t also see ‘narck’ or ‘knarc’ or ‘knark’ or any other potential misspelling. Even in MW, it is describes as “a less common variant”.

    ‘Nark’ is a correctly spelled word. it’s also within proper grammar as I used it.

    What I suspect you are trying- and not saying- is that ‘nark’ is not preferred by whatever manual of style you happen to subscribe to. Which is totally, and utterly irrelevant. We are not in a formal venue. We are in a causal venue, and you don’t get to dictate how I express myself. this is not a scientific journal, nor a newspaper. none of the style guides you might care to mention apply. Not the Chicago Manual of Style, nor any other university’s or college’s. Not the AP manual of style, or any other in-house manual of style a paper might use. Neither the AMA guide nor the APA guide, nor the Redbook.
