Most people don’t want to break the sacred bond of pretending you’re busy, because then next time, they might get caught for doing the same.

What weird snowflake

Which, in older machines, might happily pump a fuckton of gaseous helium into the room, potentially creating overpressure and squeezing the door shut while people suffocate.

Most dangerous thing anywhere is cars, tbh.

The arsenic book covers, on the other hand, are very much still risky. Mostly because it does in fact rub off

Step 1: don’t invade poland.

Step 2: stop being Nazis

There, that’s how Hitler could have won.

Lipo’s can absolutely burn your house down, but only while overcharging. Igniting a battery while you’re walking around with it will at most burn your pants down, not kill you.

You can absolutely make a lipo battery “explode” by overheating it by drawing too much power. But it’s the kind of explosion where it spews hot gas and maybe catches on fire. You’ll definitely get hurt, but that’s about it.

You can do MUCH worse by overcharging it. (note the size of that battery). There will eventually be a fireball if you overcharge it and keep overcharging it when it’s already swollen to a balloon. But you generally don’t charge stuff while it’s in your pocket.

These were actual killing-people-explosions. Lipo batteries don’t do that.

Secret backdoors… And planted plastic explosives.

Buying armor is like buying a suit, and all the answers are kind of similar.

You can get a cheap mass produced one, but it won’t fit as well as a tailored one, and that won’t be as good as a custom made one. You can wear someone else’s (within reason), as long as they’re mostly the same size, but it won’t be great.

A gambeson or arming coat (typo before) is similar, off the rack is fine, but it’ll fit much better if you have it custom made. And like bras, being a woman is expensive here. I bought a good one and modified it myself.

I got my armor custom made by a guy in Ukraine like 15 years ago, the whole thing was 6000 euros which was a huge bargain. But if you just want a breastplate for occasional use (larp, cosplay, etc) getting one online and accepting it’s kinda awkward is very much an option. If you need it to actually stop swords (reenactment, HEMA) that’s still an option, but you’ll need to be much more selective.

If no boob shape, then boobs squished.

Hi, lady here who owns and wears armor sometimes. There are a few things wrong with this.

(Prefacing that only a very very small number of women historically wore armor)

You’ll find that basically ALL medieval plate bulges out in the chest. That is specifically because dome shapes are stronger, but also for ease of movement. A flat plate will make it harder to bring your shoulder back (or you’ll need to make a bigger arm hole).

You’ll also find that most people who do stuff while in plate armor tend not to carry a lot of fat, and since boobs are mostly fat, women who wear armor “for a living”, and are thus swinging pole arms quite a lot, tend not to be very busty.

Thirdly, the main difference between my armor and the armor the guys are wearing is not in the plate, but in the padding underneath. I have a gambeson and armor coat that is thicker above and above my breasts than right in front. There’s basically a boob-slot in the padding, so that a hit to my chest gets absorbed by my body instead of my boobs.

It’s pretty decent at unimportant optimisation tasks with limited options. Like “I’m driving from X to Y, my friend travels by train from Z, what are good places to pick them up?”

But it’s so much funnier to picture elves as spending 40 years in diapers.

Because they have a LOT of money riding on convincing people not to vote blue. Gee, I wonder who benefits from that most.

Sufficient bleach makes any disease go away.

FPV drones very much don’t. That’s a super distinct sound.

They have Russian Orthodox schools, which are basically the same thing but with taller hat and more beard.

Good news: since there are no gays in Russia (official government position), there is no HIV in Russia, since it’s only transmitted by the gay sex (official government position).

(Excuse me while I wash the fingers I used to type that)

Correct

What a weird focus on the US democratic party. Every single US government has been doing this exact same thing.
