Vegetables are really bad at rowing though.

Fried leaf cutter ant queen abdomen (it’s just a ball full of eggs) reminds me of bacon.

It is not safe, it will explode, leak poisonous gases, kill everyone and all puppies and kittens, smack Earth out of its orbit into the Sun, and so forth.

Having said that, some 6 months ago I noticed my 2 year old Samsung A71 had a slightly fat back, so after a few months (it was steady, not growing), I took it to a repair shack to have the battery replaced. The guy asked me if the battery was still holding normal charge, and I said yes, a whole day of usage.

He asked me if I wanted to just “deflate” it. Well, yes.

So he did what you said, and the universe is still unharmed.

But in my case it was just gas trapped in the battery envelope; probably it overheated once while charging, but there was little or no damage to the battery itself. If even after passing gas yours is still swolen, it may mean your electrodes are deformed, which is probably more risky than my case.

I’m not in any way recommending you to keep using it. It worked for me, but I’m a very lucky person.

For now. 40 years ago, what it does now was impossible science fiction.

Well, the opressed and enslaved usually has no say about changing the law.

On one hand, great; will that extent to software development, architecture and other fields?

On the other hand, sounds like the first step to, when AI and androids reach self awareness and conscience, legally keep them enslaved.

I’m waiting for a 138kV three phase USB-C for EV instant charging.

When you can pay to win, to always have the last word… He’ll let them know.

He’s going to be able to harass everyone that had blocked him.

Because I’m not a redneck who only watches and understands news about the weekend chicken fight in his own backyard?

What do you mean with that? Nothing can be compared to the USA? Is USA perfect then? Brazil has universal free healthcare too. It doesn’t mean Brazil is better than the USA in every possible aspect. Don’t be afraid of comparisons.

So because USA is better than Russia in many things, then free healthcare is bad because Russia has it and the US doesn’t?

It’s this black&white mentality that creates all stupid polarization of opinions, you know?

The article does say free insulin paid by the government. We have that in my country (Brazil), even for foreigners, but my first thought was that in the USA not even citizens get that.

This headline might be confusing for Americans. Free insulin?

Basically this. I don’t assume that just because it’s E2EE (or says it’s E2EE) it’s privacy safe.

Unless maybe if it’s my own system on both sides, running Linux, connected through some FOSS VPN I’ve set up myself, chatting through nc tunneled through ssh with a 100% silent wired keyboard, no monitor, no network, and everything powered off. Inside an underground lead bunker.

That doesn’t mean I don’t use Teams, Whatsapp, Gmail, etc. I just don’t assume it’s private.

E2E just means it’s encrypted from end to end, iow, it’s not decrypted in the middle of the way.

If I was using an E2E communication application, I, for one wouldn’t automatically assume that meant it was not eavesdropping.

That’s sad. I hope these comments are not from fellow Brazilians.

The comparison with the Dominican Republic is even more emblematic, because they started as equals (same island, divided between France an Spain in 1697). There has been no charitable colonizer, but there really seems to be a trend of France being the worst.

Is there a “colonizer” rank, ordered by average HDI of colonized countries?

My guess would be England, Spain, Portugal, then France far behind. (only the longest colonization period counts)

Edit: I found this: https://www.nber.org/papers/w12546

It is based only on islands though (which includes Hispañola - Haiti/Dominican).

At least for islands, despite the huge GDP gap in Hispañola, the study ranks France above Spain and Portugal!

Technically they can collect whatever they need, before encrypting to send from E to the other E, and send, with or without encryption, to their servers. The "E"s are the devices on each end, not necessarily the users mouths and ears.

You can send your typed credit card to that site using SSL encryption, but the number can be captured by a keylogger or a screen capture before being encrypted.

Interesting; I follow a motovlogger (Itchy Boots), and she is currently travelling across many African countries. After a while my wife and I noticed that there was a clear tendency of countries where she spoke French being the dirtiest, poorest, having the worst infrastructure and corruption.

Same with Haiti (French colony) vs Dominican Republic (Spanish colony).

Way to go, France!
