It's the plane that can carry the bomb but also classic trump move of showing off aging military tech that was new in the 80's attempting to impress his friends in authoritarian states.

Yessss!!!

In your haste to investigate the desk you fling open the desk's drawer to find it empty except a small stain of blood. Upon further inspection you notice a dagger shaped letter opener protruding from your thigh. The blood stain is related. You take one piercing damage.

Yeah, makes sense. The statement that "half the voltage is half the power" is what started me from another reply. Then this was the next one.

Microwaves are designed to heat water molecules. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

US outlet is 120V@20A = 2.4kW UK outlet is 230V@13A = 3.0kW

It's a 15% difference based on possible power draw.

Anecdotally the stove will still take many times longer. Even compared to induction my kettle is faster.

My guess is that in the UK/EU it's not common to have powerful microwaves?

So they can get away with whatever assault they want without getting doxed. Can't let their friends and family know they're one of the bad apples.

Tap for spoilerThey still don't know there's no good apples

A decidedly non-anarchist take 🤣

He needs a new job.

I've worked with hundreds of homeless people, usually trying to help them before the cops sweep their camp, or keeping their car rolling so they can keep living in it.

There was a ubiquitous set of conditions:

  • can't afford housing even though they had a job.
  • lost identifying documents, usually in a sweep, and working on replacing them. You can't get work without these.
  • no reliable postal address
  • no support network

I've never met anyone who wanted to be living on the street.

I'm not talking about crust punks train hopping. I'm talking about the people who missed a day of work for whatever reason and couldn't make rent one month. Now they're in a tent near available services because the shelter kicked them out after the max stay of a week.

Being a therapist gives you no expertise here and it seems to me that a therapist who sees punishment as a viable means for behavioral change is kind of shit at their job.

The amount of times I've looked at the Aussie and Japanese markets and just sat jealous...

 

I am building a new PC. I want to run Linux and windows on separate SATA 2.5/3.5 SSD hard drives. I need windows (Winn11 Pro) for work. Linux will run all personal computing needs.

I have a horrible history with dual booting Linux and windows (grub getting murdered).

I currently plan to shut down the PC, switch power to the drives, and start up on the other OS.

Can i use a switch which only toggles power to each drive while keeping data cables attached to accomplish this? Will this be possible with windows on one drive?

Is there a smarter solution?
