Happened with one movie, the first Pirates of the Caribbean. I could recite every line, hum every soundtrack and reenact every scene. But this was 10 years ago, give or take.

You are so correct it hurt my face. I’ve corrected my comment. Thanks! 😊

Thanks! And, interesting! Wouldn’t the metal bucket/pot do some amplification of the pressure wave on its own by locking it in? Anyway, I imagined having such a pot, but I realized, I cannot know for how long the adversary has been releasing the safety grip and thus how long I have until detonation. It could blow up in my face as I am trying to cover it with the pot. I think I’d go with the second option, to hitting the deck with my head pointing away from the grenade.

Sic! Thanks! :)

Although I did think/image that the explosion would go all directions along the floor in 180 degrees.

Thanks! I’m just trying to learn some on my free time 🤣

The light at the end of the tunnel.

Schroedinger’s laptop.

But also, there is no way that hibernated state is going to be recoverable, considering that RAM needs a constant current.

For those of us not affected immediately by this, let’s fire up some i2p, tor and simplex routers in order to contribute.

ip2

tor

As with tor, where you have the choice to run bridges if you are unable to contribute with a node/server that is vulnerable to identifying your person, simply installing i2p and letting it run is enough to contribute with bandwidth to the network, even if you’re not using it yourself.

Edit: and for i2p, you don’t even need a public IP, as opposed to tor bridges.

I never learned how to fiddle with regedit before I moved to Linux, but I always ran this or this when I used to help friends and family setting up a Windows system.

I couldn’t find a Tiny10 ISO anymore to share with you… Let me upload next week and I’ll paste it here. :)

Meanwhile, just nuke a normal ISO with:

I still rewatch some, from time to time. The latest and hottest: The Powerpuff Girls, Darkwing Duck, Dragonball and Sailor Moon.

This answer is so relatable. 😓🩵

Thanks! Maybe I’ll take a break from programming and pick up an ee book! 😊

Not to pick on them too much, but I have been deliberately avoiding Veritasium because he’s too “clickbaity”, showy and flashy. I’m not very comfortable with that.

You’ll know in about nine months, give or take, depending on when you went unprotected.

Thanks! This reminds me, I’ve just recently read about old oscillators and the cycles, periods and hertz of electric signals. In oscillators, or clocks, that are used in computers, the signal switches between current - no current. Which isn’t the same as switching polarity in AC, but still.

It also reminded me of how insane I find it, that the membranes of speakers - whose vibration is controlled by an electromagnet, if I understand them correctly - are able to vibrate in a fashion that not only makes one sinus wave of one frequency, but sometimes a complex, intricate mixture of sounds, such as when watching a scene from a movie that has soundtrack, ambient sound, speech, explosions, whathaveyou. How on earth can one membrane do that… A piano commonly needs 88 keys whose combination can produce complex harmonies. Speaker membrane: hold my beer.

Thank you for the great examples! See, this is yet another misconception that I picked up at elementary school: that “electricity travels at the speed of light”. After having read all the comments, yours included, and done some more reading, it is obvious that it’s the effect of electricity that to us seems immediate - for instance, a light bulb turning on. The propagation of the electromagnetic fields is what’s fast. Am I right?

Is this an academic question? As in, would you like to discuss how prejudice is formed?

If not, and this is a cry for help to deal with unreasonably controlling parents, then I say: don’t waste any more energy on it, even if it bugs you, which is more than understandable. But! People - parents included - have no right to choose our friends for us.

Thanks for all the clarifications! It’s mindboggling and fascinating how we found out about all this, came up with concepts and pointers - language - to express and describe it all.
