I don’t remember the movie but I recently saw one where the protagonist reversed his rifle, swung it like a bat, and sent the grenade back to the original thrower. It was good for a laugh

A battery with the current power density but increased longevity

…. Is exactly what we need. People bitch and moan about how difficult it is to replace phone batteries, but this would make it unnecessary. More importantly, all those people who replace their phones every 2-3 years as the battery stops lasting a full day, would no longer have that excuse. If we had increased longevity, there’d be less electronic waste as people keep their devices longer

Or think about things like grid storage - a lot of the high cost is how long they last, so increased longevity is critical for that investment to pay off.

Or v2g. People are finally coming around to trust that EV batteries will last longer than they will own an EV, ut most of us still don’t trust vehicle to grid connections to not unnecessarily age our vehicle battery

I always wondered about the approach I’ve seen in a couple movies …. Could you save yourself by tackling the bad guy onto the grenade and being on top of him. Aside from the impossibility of being in a situation where that makes sense, and reacting quickly enough, would the bad guy contain both the shards and the pressure enough to save everyone else?

because we all use 192.168.1.0/24 by default.

This is a bigger deal than you may think. Those of us stubborn enough to use one of the other defined internal network ranges already hit more obstacles than we should, and that difference should be trivial to non-existent.

For me the latest is a smart home device that hard-coded 192.168.1.x, so I am not able to connect it to my network

Adds a new wrinkle to the trolley problem

She drove that thing back into your closet and that’s the best you can do? She saved your whole family

Especially when you get down to insects, I imagine it as no thought, just programmed responses

What goes through the mind of a doorknob?

Most other celebrities at least have a reason to maybe they build a swasticar or monopolize the PC software market but there’s a reason they are rich and famous, even if you don’t like it

But why is kardassia? They are able to take up so much attention, so much time, so much of the internet, and make themselves ever richer, yet there doesn’t seem to be a reason, beyond the sex tape that kicked it off. They’ve somehow built a palace on a swamp and it hasn’t fallen over. They are the epitome of empty celebrity worship

My teen has used it recently …… he had no clue where it came from, and didn’t know there was a difference between CDs and DVDs

I guess, and hopefully we all understand we’re saying the same things …… but when I start with “ Everyone …” I don’t know how I could have worded it more inclusively. Oh well, time to drop the latest miscommunication and move on to the next

Not at all. I said putting a towel down is a good idea regardless. It’s just a generally useful strategy for all of us_

No one is against using one, I’m just saying that it’s not tied to vagina users. I mean it can be if tying is your thing but no need for anyone to get upset, feel targetted, or otherwise insulted. As a non-vagina person I see benefit for controlling my part of any messes and sleeping more comfortably after. That’s not mansplaining people who have other needs, it’s just including more use cases

Youre welcome. Can I help you with math next?

Or perhaps reading comprehension?

If you can guarantee that there will be no fluids leaked or excreted by any participant , then sure, no need for precautions.

That’s a true mess to avoid, but can I recommend a water and dust mitre proof mattress pad/topper?

Stuff happens, regardless of whether you wear a vagina, and mattresses are expensive. A water-proof mattress pad/topper protects your investment. A dust mite proof mattress pad/topper might reduce your allergy symptoms, which is a good investment in your well being. Don’t skimp on the mattress pad!

Towels mean no one has to sleep in the wet spot

Everyone leaks when you’re having sex. A towel is not a bad idea regardless of whether it targets the vagina wearer

Seriously this is the worst on crowded subway cars. When I used to commute by subway, there were multiple occasions where I got glared at for staring into space when some woman or her attractive parts happened to be wherever my eyes were pointing.

You might as well stare at the best boobs because you’re getting glared at for it whether you are or not

Seems like Stephen king must have had nightmares about his fame

No. Granted, michael Jackson seems to have had emotional trauma but you could argue a lot of his personal issues were directly caused by his celebrity.

Maybe Warren Buffet famous. Someone who is well known and listened to as among the most knowledgeable of his field …… but none of the constant hounding from paparazzi or gossip-mongers, no political/conspiracy theory bs

Or you could read all the way to the end of your quote, and try basic reading comprehension
