Next time cum on the underside of a glass table and see if the suction is enough to make her stick to it.

No. The story I believe you’re refering to has been admitted to having been false by the very person who originated it. The correction just never stuck and people continue to spread the false version even to this day.

Did Elon Musk Turn Off Starlink Access in Crimea To Disrupt Ukrainian Attack?

It wasn’t enabled in Crimea in the first place. The author misspoke/lied about in the book and has later admitted it.

U.S. sanctions to Russia forbid the use of Starlink. This includes crimea and the occupied territories. That’s why it wasn’t enabled.

To clarify on the Starlink issue: the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not. They asked Musk to enable it for their drone sub attack on the Russian fleet. Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.

And before someone points out the ‘cause major war’ things, those are Walters words, not Elon’s. Musk said “It would make SpaceX explicitly complicit in a marjor act of war and conflict escalation” He later also added that had he been contacted by the US officials and asked to enable it he would, but they didn’t.

Breastmilk should be enough. Just difficult to source.

That assumes the punch-deserving party is always “upwards” from you.

It is! Completely frozen in-fact.

I’m not apolitical - I’m a political minimalist. I vote, then I check out until the next election rolls around. Not really interested in the daily back-and-forth.

Ya gotta spend money to make money.

I mean, that’s technically true. If someone handed me 5 million, I could invest 4.5 million and live pretty comfortably for 5 to 10 years off the remaining 500k. In that time, the 4.5 million in the stock market would probably grow to around 9 million over 10 years. That’s why it’s difficult to get rich but easy to get richer.

I don’t know how waterproofing gets done where you live, but if a customer here in Finland asked me about this, I’d just tell them it’s mostly a cosmetic issue - and trying to fix it risks puncturing the waterproofing membrane behind the tiles.

You’re also highly unlikely to find a matching replacement tile unless whoever did the bathroom stashed the spares in the attic or something.

Anyway, the point is this probably isn’t going to cause water damage down the line - what actually keeps the walls watertight is behind the tiles, not the tiles themselves.

The issue with all these studies about people’s subjective experiences is that they rely on self reporting. Just because someone says that they have no mental imagery doesn’t mean that they actually don’t. They may simply be unaware of it. After all, how many people actually spend any significant amount of time learning to pay attention to their minds. The vast majority don’t.

It’s a bit like asking people whether they have an optic blind spot in their vision but not teach them how to look for it. Virtually everyone would say that they don’t and they’d all be wrong.

They’re leaving like redditors to Lemmy. There’s dozens of them!

There are heated clothing as well that use regular power banks as energy source. Not that expensive but makes quite the difference. Another benefit is that you can turn it off when you go indoors instead of undressing to not start sweating like a pig.

I have eFatbike with cracked frame that I’m about to try fixing by welding. People say it wont work but I don’t exactly have anything to lose here either so I’ll give it a try at some point.

110 people died in a car crash today in the USA alone.

Because you’re wired that way. It’s not universally tasty, but it is to some individuals. I personally don’t like the taste at all - I only want the effect.

People are desperately combing through comments, looking for something to be outraged about. That’s what happens in echo chambers - when the outgroup isn’t around to be attacked, people start eating their own. It turns into this insane purity spiral where nobody is ever good enough.

Thanks for being the only person making sense in this thread. This is such a depressing group of people to hang with sometimes…

Short answer: it’s always inherently risky. There’s no 100% certain way to avoid it. But there are things you can do to mitigate the risk. First, look for outlets and light switches - wires generally run straight up or straight down from them. The same principle applies to plumbing. Most electronic stud finders also have a feature to detect metal and live wires. They’re quite unreliable though.

Another precaution is to use masonry bits instead of wood or metal bits. Masonry bits have blunt ends, so you’re less likely to damage wires or pipes even if you hit one. You should also avoid drilling too deep, and whenever possible, aim for studs - there’s rarely anything critical inside them.

That said, hitting something important is quite unlikely. In a standard wall, there’s usually not much inside. Kitchens and bathrooms are a bit riskier. For perspective, I’ve probably drilled over a million holes into walls and ceilings, and I’ve only ever hit a wire once - and that was in the oddest place, running between a wall and a door jamb. It was such a strange location that the thought never even occurred to me until the room went dark.

If you hit a wire you’ll probably just blow a fuse. It’ll cost to fix it but it’s rarely catastrophical. Plumbing is a different story - you can cause a lot of damage in very short period of time. It’s generally recommended to locate AND TEST the main shut off valve before drilling if you’re unsure. Word of caution though: these valves may sit untouched for decades and may start leaking when you do.

The question was about what you want to do - not what would have the biggest impact or look best on your resume.

I’d start a gay gym with pool, spa, sauna, bar etc. I’m talking about the kind of place where you will see obscenities.

EDIT: These threads always make me lose my faith with humanity as I read people share their violent and sadistic fantasies.

Claims like this just create more confusion and lead to people saying things like “LLMs aren’t AI.”

LLMs are intelligent - just not in the way people think.

Their intelligence lies in their ability to generate natural-sounding language, and at that they’re extremely good. Expecting them to consistently output factual information isn’t a failure of the LLM - it’s a failure of the user’s expectations. LLMs are so good at generating text, and so often happen to be correct, that people start expecting general intelligence from them. But that’s never what they were designed to do.
