The answer is a whole-society approach, AND heavy regulation. You provide information from a whole host of sources, government and private, and you basically ban disinformation (read: advertising) from contradicting or subverting it.

Right on red

Not a cyclist, I see.

When I was a dumb kid, me and other dumb kids found some paving tiles and decided to break them by throwing them in the air. Unfortunately, I was really bad at aiming, caught it on my head and caused permanent spinal damage.

The doctor recommended strength training, because my muscles would overtaxed by compensating for my wonky spine, which I promptly ignored because, again, I was a dumb kid and girls don’t lift weights. So from age 10 to 19 ish I basically had debilitating neck pains every few months which had me stuck in bed on painkillers and muscle relaxants.

After 9 years of being an idiot, I started listening to the doctors, lifted weights, and basically never had a sore neck again. The main downside is that clothes shopping is hard now.

Well, apparently not.

And damage from chlorine gas NEVER heals. That reduced lung capacity is for the rest of your now-shortened life.

And extremely predictable

Ukrainian drones are apparently made out of antimatter or something.

Ah yes, I too start my day by snorting half a cup of tapwater.

This is basically why the Netherlands doesn’t add fluoride to drinking water, even though it would be a great idea to improve health at basically zero cost.

You fundamentally can’t medicate people without their informed consent. So we don’t, and we add fluoride to toothpaste, which is more expensive and not as effective, but it’s much more ethical.

Designing a basic nuclear bomb is a piece of cake in 2024. A gun-type weapon is super basic. Actually making or getting the weapon’s grade fissile material is the hard part. And of course, a less basic design means you need less material.

And doing all of that without dying from either radiation poisoning, or lead-related bleeding is even harder.

From the location of it, I’m assuming it means “This is where the signature would be if this were the paper copy”.

Lipo’s can absolutely burn your house down, but only while overcharging. Igniting a battery while you’re walking around with it will at most burn your pants down, not kill you.

You can absolutely make a lipo battery “explode” by overheating it by drawing too much power. But it’s the kind of explosion where it spews hot gas and maybe catches on fire. You’ll definitely get hurt, but that’s about it.

You can do MUCH worse by overcharging it. (note the size of that battery). There will eventually be a fireball if you overcharge it and keep overcharging it when it’s already swollen to a balloon. But you generally don’t charge stuff while it’s in your pocket.

These were actual killing-people-explosions. Lipo batteries don’t do that.

Secret backdoors… And planted plastic explosives.

Then because of that he threatened to kill them and they realized he had a knife so they tasered him.

Then when that didn’t work and he ran at them with the knife they opened fire.

Is the version of what’s the killers are saying. I’ll believe it when I see the camera footage. Good thing they have bodycams, so they can instantly prove their story.

These are way too thin for ESAPI plates or equivalent. I’m pretty sure this is literally just a random piece of sheet steel.

Bold of you to assume they get back plates.

More expensive doesn’t always equal better, especially for things like keyboards, clothes or eyewear, where branding is huge and inflates prices more than quality.

I’m not a railroad person, but the locomotives have gotten bigger too

Additional:

This is what it takes to break up actual railroads: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_plough

Note that these things were pulled by two locomotives, and moved at roughly a brisk walking pace. It’s VERY hard to destroy a railroad.
