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.

48V and we’re back to POTS (plain old telephone system) voltages :-)

I agree, but that’s the problem even from reputable sources, glitch happens. Old 5V-only chargers would need much more things to go wrong to fry our devices. A 20V (or 48V !) one is just a small (sw or hw) glitch away to zap a device that doesn’t support such voltages.

When all USB could do was 5V I already didn’t trust any charger but mine - I couldn’t believe people dared to connect their devices to charge into any public USB chargers.

Now that they can go up to 20V, and we have to trust everything will work with the negotiation and wiring to get the right voltage, it’s even scarier!

Chess at pro level is brutal. One can get mentally mauled if the adversary has a superior, trained for cruel psychological warfare, mind.

Men just don’t stand a chance.

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?

Haha, I guess many dog owners just can’t see it how it is; probably an addiction to the lopsided unconditional “love”. I used to comment something similar back in Reddit, just to see the flood of downvotes and outraged dog owners.

Same reaction to supporting the idea that some breeds are generally more dangerous and/or more aggressive. “Oh, my MY pitbull is a sweetie!!” (adding this here just to test :D )

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.

Yes, and I heard as a response “but he LOVES the cage”. Really? Why does it need a door with a latch then?

This headline might be confusing for Americans. Free insulin?

Yes, I’m pretty sure they were still dogs. No crippling deformities.

(edit: but if you need to filter “anecdotal” evidence, just add “in the western world, in modern history”?)

Thousands of years ago they were dogs, not fashion accessories.
