What's in plagiarism?

Nvm... Clicked the link:

This circle is empty because as soon as sinners arrive, a demon carries them to another circle and forces them to suffer the punishment meted out to the people there. After their 3-year "post" is up, they are carried to another circle, and so on…

QR code readers should be able to take an image as input. If you're in need of a good one, may I recommend BinaryEye? It regularly beats both my native camera app and Firefox for picking up difficult QR codes or dealing with bad lighting.

And in case you are desperate to know what's in this QR code, it's under the spoiler

A switch is an electromechanical component that can open or close one or more circuits. There are many types of switch, with whole sets of nomenclature depending on how specific you want to get. A keyboard switch is an example of a momentary normally-open single pole - single throw (mom NO SPST) switch [^1]

A button is a user interface / mechanical design component which protudes from a surface and can be manually actuated.[^2]

You can have each without the other.

While a keyboard switch can be used as a button, it's not designed for the purpose, it's designed to have a keycap installed, at which point you do indeed have a button. When we are talking about keyswitches though, we're specifically interested in the electromechanical component, not the portion that a user pushes.

For the topic of the thread I'll throw in "toilets that are so bad at flushing that you need to keep a plunger next to them"

The only time I've owned a plunger was in a house with a broken clay sewer pipe that was about to kick the bucket.
