Cops can only operate within their own borders (like a NY cop cannot enforce the law in Canada) unless they're granted special permission from Ottawa to the White House on catching high profile fugitives, even then: their powers are limited in order not to violate their sovereignty. Would their badge hold any weight while they are overseas (who have their own judiciary)?

That's only speaking on official terms: but, what happens if an American on vacation (like off duty sheriff) witnesses or encounters criminal activity while they're abroad? Are they allowed to detain that person or do they have to eventually turn them over to local authorities? For instance, they could flex a LAPD badge in Japan, but is that valid or considered null?

I have the Moondrop Chu 2, an awesome IEM that works really well, but the brass nozzle it has easily oxidises, especially given that I live in a relatively humid climate, so green bits keep on clogging the nozzle and need to be cleaned out. Are there any good value options (let's say under 100 ideally) that don't have a brass nozzle (or similarly corrosive materials)?

The biggest argument for the answer being “Yes” would seem to be their contributions to the Kessler Syndrome but I’m really not that up to speed on how severe or critical the situation currently is.

The cascade of fault warnings as recorded by the digital flight data recorder, all of which occurred within a minute,[4] involved the three multiply redundant hydraulic systems, elevator flight-controls, autopilot disconnection, an emergency exit door, and even an engine anti-ice warning.[5] The Airbus A320 has three independent hydraulic systems, coded blue, green, and yellow, such that the loss of all three is considered by experts to be virtually impossible. (Too, this aircraft make and model is the one of the most flown globally.)[6] For approximately four seconds all hydraulics control was actually lost.[7][8]

Did something happen with it recently? I ask because of this post/meme: https://lemmy.ca/post/69868615

Almost all the Spanish I know. 🙃

Situation: Someone makes a post asking a question. I spend time answering it. Then the post is deleted.

I can no longer access the post and therefore can not find the author to block them.

What I do have is a link to an empty page.

How do I find the author?

Like the phrase "peeping tom" is used to refer to a creep trying to see somebody else using the bathroom. What on Earth did this Tom character do to become the definition of such a creep?

Why are women who do not have traditionally feminine traits sometimes called tomboys? Why Tom?

And why do people say "Bob's your uncle"? Was this Bob a super helpful and reliable guy, so much so that his name is used for the definition of something being finished and done?

And the playing card representing an aristocratic / upper class man is called Jack, who is this Jack? Why do people say a "jack of all trades", was this Jack character incredibly talented? Or is it related to the playing card, where they are good at everything but not the best (i.e. a king or queen)

I know of a few that are of religious origin, like the Achilles's heel after Greek mythology, and the bumpy bit of your throat is called Adam's apple is biblical.

Obviously, I know its impossible to completely child-proof a PC, but theoretically, what steps would you take? Assume its a laptop with internet access, meaning you'd want local solutions and something like a pi-hole wouldn't work well.

I would personally assume, you'd want to:

A) discourage internet exploration by offering ready-to-use options for most needs, such as thumbnails/bookmarks for common websites.

B) Implement some sort of blacklist for common or easy-to-stumble-upon negative content. Maybe something as simple as a Ublock filter?

C) Robust monitoring tools, although I have no idea what.

Edit: To be clear, I know education is the number one tool, but let's say a tech illiterate friend is asking for help. What might you set up for them, or recommend they use - tools to assist in parenting, not replace it.

I got it from my dad. Neither he nor I know what it does. If I can MacGyver anything cool from it, I'm all for it! :)

Is that what Secret Wars is going to be about?

Maybe I’m oversensitive? We all know our votes here are public record, but to me it seems like weird, obsessive, and unhealthy behavior.

It definitely is a red flag for me to the point where I wonder if I shouldn’t just outright block people who go around making it known it’s something the participate in.

Search engines are filled with AI generated garbage. Please help.

How would that effect the economy? And yes I am in favor of taxing the rich so much into the poor house.

They screw into my desk and act as posts, but I'm missing one of four to hold up a plank of wood, and I dont know what they're called. I called them dowels in the accessibility image, but I dont knownif that's correct.

Any help is appreciated.
