"30" "cougar" lmao

Is that a door with a bolt latch partly behind the tub?!

Fun fact: that's not how humidity works. It, in fact, DOES help to get water to evaporate by forcing the local humidity around the phone to stay low. Otherwise you may as well say all the people doing 3D printing that use desiccant to keep water out of their filaments are fools, too.

What it won't do is magically erase any gunk or minerals that were in the water that can short out traces on unprotected PCBs and chips even with the water gone.

So, yes, it is not magic that can fix any phone that saw water. Though it absolutely helps to get the water out of the phone. ... I mean, unless you live in a desert where the humidity should already be sufficiently low most days.

They'd try, but there will be corporations bidding from thousands of miles away completely out of reach of any mob action these days.

If we reach penny auction status (and we will), it will be back to functional feudalism for most.

If only Hell existed and if only it all wasn't a ruse to placate people in to accepting their poor lot in life so the rich can continue to not be eaten by the poor.

I mean, the sign was on her front door, not a neighbors. That's just selecting for anyone literate that would be left behind. The fact the neighbor took this as a message to themselves shows a level of narcissism that would guarantee they would definitely not be picked up by the rapture, if it were real...

Probably took it as fishing. Asking a very obvious personally identifiable question is how many scammers try to break the ice with social engineering. Ask questions that help the scammer further identify their target or assets of the target.

A question that anyone should already know the answer to isn't a great idea, though. If it is you, you should already know if you went to school with them. If it's not you, it's still an odd question, because it should be verifiable already on their profile? Either way, the generic question really isn't sending, "hey I remember and want to connect with you" vibes, IMO. It's giving, "hey I recently got in to MLMs" vibes.

I 'think' there's a more innocent interpretation in there of something like, "If you're going to do Nazis right now, it might be worth making them more than a cliche villain to spray lead at so people can see how intrusive and insidious the ideology is."

buuuuut "we don't need more anti-nazi slop shoved down our throats" is one hell of a way to say that xP

I could fix her join her.

IMO, this kind of amazement mostly points to humans not really unserstanding how tiny the building blocks of reality are. Even the "massive" protein molecules your body uses with hundreds of thousands of atoms in them, tens of thousands of amino acid chains, can fit many on the tip of a sewing needle.

Titin has over 30,000 amino acids in it, and barely gets over 1um in length. That's barely wider than a sharp razor blade's edge, and they're orders of magnitude sharper than most knives.

The scale of the world is crazy, and we are already giants in it.

Quite a few lemmy instances became inaccessible, including piefed.world.

Not aliens on The History Channel? Not Honey Boo Boo on The Learning Channel? Not Jerry Springer? Montel? Steve? Not Joe Rogan or Howard Stern? Not Rush?

This country has hundreds of terrible influences at all times.

DNS isn't a service (in the same way as AWS and CloudFlare). It's a fundamental component of the world wide web.

I mean, unless you'd rather type IP addresses in to your URLs, anyways.

Agentic. Yes, that's the part of the OS everyone loves about Windows. Coming back in the morning to see it decided to update itself but got stuck in a boot loop because MS vibe codes these days. Yeahhh that's what I want out of my operating system!

Silica gel is a great desiccant. Just because rice cannot match something basically designed for the task, doesn't make it awful.

You might as well be saying, "but my horse cannot run fast! He's always behind Secretariat!"

Those "features" are not about security. They're about uniquely identifying the system without using, "personally identifiable information".

All of that can be separately true without any conspiracy tying it all together.

The world has plenty of terrible people in it that want to diddle kids. The capitalistic model of BS is very often anti-left, but not for conspiratorial reasons: They just like money and control.

There's no need for a grand conspiracy for most of those points to never the less be roughly true, except the first two. I'm certain Maxwell had and has plenty of better channels than reddit for finding and contacting traffickers. You don't get that successful using a fucking public forum...

Similarly, Aaron probably had plenty of other reasons to be unhappy. It's not a terribly uncommon way to go on purpose.

We all know Reddit and Spez are a cesspit. That takes no speculation at all. They always wanted shitstirrers off the site, because they wanted to monetize the shit without all the stink.

That's how the world works. Welcome to capitalism, where the least honorable are made to get ahead. You should try to do something more productive than trying to tie a handful of terrible people together, though.

It's a clickbait farm and not everyone knows of this very old news. So OFC they used the most clickbaity title they could.

I always took it as more of the organized nature of the assault, not literal accuracy. Like there's an obvious difference between a gang rolling up on you and a SEAL team assaulting a place.

Either way, the result is a bunch of dead Jawas.

The biggest mistake of the civil war was not rounding up the ringleaders and hanging them like they loved to do to runaway "property".

Fucking slavers deserved it.
