I’m assuming this is daisy chained. In a power strip there are not cables between the plugs that can be unplugged. Nor are there switches on each individual plug that can be accidentally flipped off. Any extra component is a failure mode. If it gets unplugged it loses power just the same as any failure. Now don’t get me wrong, I think this design is clean, expandable, and offers some neat features over a plain power strip, but to suggest there aren’t extra risks associated with this design is a bit short sighted.

Apparently bi not longer means two. At least half of these had more than two wheels. From an engineering standpoint almost all of them were pretty cool.

Strapping a stuffed giraffe on the from of a bicycle is really kinda low effort though.

Is this an actual production iPhone Duo?

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

What would be nice is if this very illegal offer was actually investigated and prosecuted.

Edit:

After I thought about this for a minute it’s not much different then:

  • “Elect us and we’ll cut your taxes by $5,000.”
  • “Vote for us and we’ll cancel $10,000 in student debt.”
  • “Give us Congress and we’ll increase Social Security benefits.”

But I guess coming from him everything seems illegal and grifty.

I think stronger language might be called for here. 🤔

If they were smarter, which they are not, they would look to place restrictions on the slicer software. I doubt the printers even have the capability to recognize what is being printed. Most of them are like move left 3 steps, extrude .1mm of filament, move right 1 step…. yada yada yada.

This is just insanely dumb. They are essentially trying to regulate technology they know very little about.

I mean what the actual fuck?!? If this is only half as egregious as this is being portrayed I wish I had been there. I would have told that old white Karen to shut the fuck up. And I don’t even know who this dude is. And I’m an old white dude.

I inherited an electric one from my FIL. This is very satisfying.

It was splattered with tomato sauce. I even put the glass tray in the dishwasher

I love all the medical degrees they give their flight staff.

So how much longer before we get pissed enough to start doing something about it? I’m a white CIS heterosexual male and this is infuriating to me. This isn’t correction of DEI policies. This is blatant sexism and racism. Fuck these nazis.

TIL…

The abbreviation E.E.U.U. (often written as EE. UU.) stands for Estados Unidos (United States) in Spanish. This abbreviation follows a grammatical rule in Spanish where doubling the initial letters of each word indicates plurality

So you taught me something today I did not know. Thank you!!

Research indicates that individuals with ASD are more likely to experience gender dysphoria, and vice versa.
