So… what you’re saying is that using a smartphone is equivalent to being in the airport security line. That is a disturbing point of view.

Your previous comment is pure, transparent whataboutism and brings nothing of value to this discussion.

This article and discussion are about China. If you want to discuss the behavior of a different country, start a new post for it.

Steak and chicken are more forgiving. There’s a wider range in which they can be fully cooked and still edible. Even if a bit dry, they can still be OK with a good sauce. Fish isn’t really like that, once it’s overcooked it’s just unpleasant to eat.

Pork chops I think are more difficult, they really have to be cooked far enough to be safe (pork can carry some pretty nasty parasites), but the range between that point and dry/tough is pretty small.

For shellfish I recommend starting with shrimp, they’re cheap and abundant, and they go from properly cooked to overcooked very quickly. You will learn a lot trying to get shrimp scampi right, and it’s an easy meal that you can just serve over noodles.

Just one more axiom bro and it will all make sense… just one more I swear it’s consistent… BRO I just NEED one more conjecture and it will BE complete… tHe pRincIPles ARe sOLid BrO jUST TruST mE!

One trick is that ocean fish is safe to eat raw (assuming it has been kept refrigerated/frozen). If you have a cut of salmon or tuna, you can just sear it on the outside and serve it, no need to cook it all the way through (which will make it dry and tough). With saltwater fish, it’s better to err on the side of less cooking.

Shellfish are more tricky, they need to either be raised and handled very carefully to keep them clean, or else cooked correctly. Oysters can be served raw, but you want to really trust the source and the handling.

Military gear should fit like a “second skin,” she said, and if it’s uncomfortable, soldiers can become distracted instead of focusing on their mission.

Basically, what the armor plate does is spread the bullet impact out, turning what would be a puncture wound into blunt force trauma. The mass of your body still has to absorb the momentum of the bullet. The best way to do this is to have the plate strapped as tightly to your body as possible, like uncomfortably tight. If there’s a gap between the plate and your body then the plate is essentially unsupported, which will cause it to bend or break when hit. Wearing an armor vest loose is essentially useless.

So yeah, it really should fit very tightly. It’s still uncomfortable, because you want it to have no air gaps, but then your sweat just soaks into the vest and your clothes and doesn’t evaporate. The plate warms up to your body heat, or warmer if it’s hot outside, and stays warm. But it’s better than having the plate shift around, or turn into shrapnel when it gets hit.

Wearing body armor correctly sucks, but it’s better than getting shot.

Again?

School’s out for the rest of the day, kids. The teacher ran out of tokens.

AWS East feels left out.

I generally feel more comfortable having /home as a separate partition. It makes editing my partitions with external tools like gparted very easy, and I can just wipe /root whenever I like without having to think too much about. Also, are we considering btrfs to be reliable now? Last time I looked at it, it was still in the prototype/unstable phase and I chose ZFS for my server instead.

Another reason I keep /home separate is that I have systems with multiple Linux versions installed. Each has their own /root, and they share /boot, /swap and /home.

bonk you with the corny bat

Maybe Polymarket can predict it?

How long do you figure before they get the Flock AI declared a police officer, therefore any damage to an AI-enabled device counts as assaulting an officer?

Sure, but there’s no reason they couldn’t be built into an enclosure that looks like other security cameras.

Alternatively, you just build a little box that has that extra stuff and plugs into a normal security camera, and you bury the box in the ground or put it inside a locked utility cabinet or something.
