Duct tape of course

It keeps happening too. That wired article is 2018.

This was published at the end of October

You can harvest the transformers for a couple junk microwaves to make an arc welder.

If you aren't experienced then pretty much all power supplies, battery backups, and motors should be left to someone else.

I saw someone lose a finger (later reattached) to a washing machine with a jammed tub. It was plugged in and on when they reached underneath it and yanked the belt, their sleeve ducked their hand into the drive wheel.

That said, if it fits your personality it can be both fun and satisfying to learn how to fix stuff. I try to teach anyone who's interested and asks. Except LG washing machines, those things can fuck right off.

Well of course they would. It's just unusual that the victims weren't local.

No it wasn't one of those, though I have gotten a surprise from them a few times.

This was a small wall mounted unit with a thermoblock heater. There was no ground of course.

Yes, this happens with some regularity. Usually during wedding season (dry season) and at large funerals. The reason it's in the news is what you said.

Search any of the local news sites for 'alcohol poisoning' in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and you will have a lot of results.

Stop being mealy mouthed cunts and hold them responsible.

Some 230 aid workers have been killed in occupied Palestinian areas, the database showed Friday. It did not break out whether that was Gaza or the West Bank.

Oh, but...

Laerke said the threats to aid workers “extend beyond Gaza, with high levels of violence, kidnappings injuries, harassment and arbitrary detention” reported in Afghanistan, Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, Ukraine, Yemen and elsewhere.

Of the 281 killed 230 were in Palestinian areas. The Israeli government is targeting aid workers. That is not opinion, it is fact.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, maybe I'm not, but I find it very strange that my opsec is better than people that actually need opsec.

I always think about when Facebook allowed targeting of the us military in Afghanistan.

In 2007 four US Army helicopters were destroyed in Iraq after geotagged photos were posted on the internet.

Or Strava exposes secret bases

In a series of images, Ruser pointed out Strava user activities potentially related to US military forward operating bases in Afghanistan, Turkish military patrols in Syria, and a possible guard patrol in the Russian operating area of Syria.

I'm just a rando on the internet who wants to stay off corporate databases as much as possible. Why is this kind of shit obvious to me but not to people whose lives may depend on it?

Found 'em

Honestly I thought about it and I'm not sure what the intention was. It could have been mounted on the other side of the wall (outside the bathroom) just as easily.

I'll have to dig it up but I have a photo of the old electric meter from the same place. It was buzzing quite loudly, then it melted. It would have been marginal when installed and was connected to only lights and ceiling fans, then they did a reno and added aircon and water heaters.

The wood bullet into the tile grout was a nice touch I thought.

This is a 20 amp circuit breaker, not only is it unprotected, when it failed someone bypassed it instead of replacing it with something correct. If you took a shower in the morning and water splashed on these open contacts you wouldn't need coffee to get your heart started.

Many email providers have a 'do not load images' setting. The two I use, Tuta Mail, and Proton Mail, both have it and I keep it on. When your mom sends you a photo of her new kitten you can just 'Tap to show images' or something similar. Images will not be loaded automatically, you need to do it case by case.

For QR codes in the wild, don't scan them, if you do use something like Binary Eye which let's you see the path before they are executed. At least you will know the domain isn't cryptoscam.com

They're also in flat eastern Ukraine, nothing like the mountainous country where they trained.

How well were they drilled on evading drones? Seems like this isn't going to go well for them.

That's for last month. Let's see how the yearly comes out.

I really enjoy quite a bit of the Guardians coverage. Their staff editorial department is often infuriating to the point I often wonder if they actually work for a different news agency.

I don't think there is a middle ground between a VPN and Tor.

As much as I don't like Brave this seems like a good feature. There do seem to be some problems with it leaking in some circumstances though.

For the curious, Brave page about private windows with Tor Here

Issues on their GitHub Here

you are correct, the problem is if you plugged one end into mains that were energized the other end would be live. That can be exciting.

Who else besides the UK uses fused plugs?
