Also most strikes on people are not direct strikes
That’s the very reason why it is indeed helpful to crouch when there is no safety nearby. Putting your feet close together reduces the step voltage (the voltage across your feet), making it less likely that a deadly current flows through your heart when there are strong potentials on the ground.
The idea of the crouch is not really to be shorter than surrounding structures (maybe that is a minor aspect), but rather to reduce the step voltage (the voltage between your two feet). If you have only one point where you touch the ground, as you do when your feet are very close together, the risk of deadly currents passing through your body is minimised. This will of course not help you when the lightning strikes you directly, but that is not the most common case anyway. People usually die from the large current passing by their heart when they stand next to a lightning strike, and there is a distribution of electric potential across the ground. This is not a myth and not debunked. It’s just a matter of priorities. If there is safety nearby, you should obviously seek it out. If not, however, then to crouch is the best thing you can do.
I agree with you. Regardless of the state of the world, we should stay optimistic and work toward that goal, instead of surrendering to defeatism.
And you are stupid for not acknowledging that people from other countries are not just useless consumers without any agency. Americans and Europeans have industry too, and very productive ones. The narrative that you can trace any product back to China is entirely wrong and reeks of tankie.
What an infinitely stupid response. The proportion of rich people owning a Tesla with respect to all Tesla owners is vanishingly small. When you burn a Tesla of an uninvolved person, you are costing them tens of thousands of currency and are probably destroying their only car.
Would not be so sure about that. Running is our specialty, especially with regard to endurance. A properly trained dog vs. a properly trained marathon runner would probably be an even match.
Had to experience that first hand. I tried to get my best friends to register on my Matrix server last September and join a room for our group, and they did, but I rarely see any of them online and I only get responses days later, if at all. One even stopped using it entirely, lol. Ah well, but at least I got a Matrix server out of that that I can use to federate with other like-minded people.
It is a smart watch. Why do you want to waste bleeding-edge processors on it when older designs do perfectly well? Certainly more sustainable.
Tomorrow it’ll probably be something else, but today I’d say Foundation (Isaac Asimov). Such a good classic of science fiction.
All of this is confusing af
At least in Germany, at a lot of Rewes (supermarket chain), this is absolutely a thing and very common. You can place the handheld barcode scanners in a specialised holder on the cart handle and then scan as you go, and neatly package all your stuff before going to the checkout and paying at a terminal. If even Germany has got this by now, then every other country on the planet surely does too lol.
Can you not just run the curl or wget without piping it into bash, first? This way you could inspect what the script wants to do.
Maybe they mean every single silicon component on all of the boards. I can imagine that cars need lots of diodes and discrete transistors and such. But computer-wise, thousands would really be excessive.
Yes, that is what ∮ means.

It doesn’t get more top-shelf than that.
I can guarantee you that no app on or for your phone can do a fraction of what GIMP is capable of.
It is also not the norm for small business owners, so what is your point?
