True in most places with large immigrant populations, and goes double if it's not just "

<specific region in country name>

Only if a dog does it.

Is that the plot of Air Bud? Idk, I only know the meme

It might be your computer, but it's their network - they get to set the rules as to how it gets used.

That's not the point. Normal, sensible people make mistakes because they are tired or stressed or got distracted or just plain unlucky, so things have to be designed so that people can make a mistake and it not instantly create a potentially lethal situation

You can, but if forgetting to flip a switch can result in death, then you need a stronger safety control

Yeah, there is a reason why proper installations require actual transfer switches or at least a manual interlock to prevent both feeds being connected at the same time. I'm also not sure what would happen if your generator was out of phase with the grid when it reenergised, but I'm sure it wouldn't be good

Obligatory "read your schools' computer use policy before you get yourself in trouble for evading the firewall"

It's not that it won't work - polarity doesn't quite work like that in AC systems - it's that as soon as you plug in one end, the other end has a pair of exposed metal contacts with mains voltage between them. One mistake, touching the contacts or having them come into something metal (like the ladder you are using to hang the Christmas lights) and someone dies

Would it be better or worse if you got a friend to come and kneel down with their hands behind their back so you could "check the balance"?

Iosevka is my personal favourite, but will need to spend some time scrolling through

So politics aside, would you really put any money into a financial system run by someone with a proven track record of driving businesses into bankruptcy?

The thing he seems to have forgotten is that unlike the automotive industry where the regulation is designed to allow companies to fuck up then fix things as long as they have the systems in place to fix the fuck up and to know when they fucked up, the medical device industry is very much designed so that the default stance is "this is dangerous and will kill people" unless you can prove otherwise

If you have a concrete example I'd love to hear it

Keycloak to provide OIDC, although in hindsight I should have gone with Authelia Authentik

Try the other suggestions, but something that has helped me is putting a thin layer of glue stick on my bed - stops the corners curling on larger prints

... Wasn't there a story a few months ago about a family that had done exactly that and turns out living in Russia kinda sucks?

At the rates I'm paying for 4G data, there are very few places in the world where it wouldn't be cheaper for me to get on a plane and sneakernet that much data

The books are great, and they continue on the story after the show ended

The most unbelievable thing about these photos are that trump could kneel like that without shattering

"settler" is such a bullshit term.

These are armed people who attack civilians, forcefully evict them from their homes, then claim the land as their own. If they were Palestinian they'd be called "militants".

They are settlers in the same way the conquistadors were settlers
