The answer is actually quite simple: being all-powerful doesn’t mean being capable of doing impossible things. If your definition of omnipotence includes the ability to do the impossible, then, as a Christian, I have no problem saying that God is not omnipotent

Well, yeah, if you simply believe different things, then criticisms of the beliefs you don't hold aren't a problem.

Now, I'd wager that out of the ~2.25 billion Christians, about 2 billion of them would be at best skeptical that you qualify as a Christian at all and essentially all of them would vehemently disagree with you, but they disagree with each other about nearly everything too, so you aren't exactly objectively wrong to call yourself a Christian.

However, that doesn't make others wrong to level these criticisms at the vast majority of Christians who do believe that "through God, all things are possible" literally means all things, even things that are otherwise contradictory.

The initial articles were about dementia patients mistaking them for candy, which is a thing that happened.

But it was pre-partum. Obi-wan sees the recording, fights Anakin, then watches Padme give birth.

A lot easier than checking three dimensions and maximum current once you know about it, that's for sure.

What do I have? A best friend and a girl! I'm hoping she's a girlfriend and not a daughter, because I can't afford the latter.

Or just die of smoke inhalation.

Flock is the company, and no, you'd never get a court to rule in your favor. The only way for the situation you describe to happen is if every court between you and the SCotUS ruled in your favor.

Two hundred million? They managed to double their kill count since 2000? Impressive, especially considering the lack of invading Nazis to mow down en masse for easy numbers.

Someone who saw him climbing down the outside wall thought "well, that's a little con descending"

Why would you need three incoming lanes, though? Three outgoing makes sense temporarily, but you only need a single incoming lane if you're going to go back down to two total, and the OP has three incoming.

We still come out ahead, because 1 USD > 1 CAD (at least for now).

This video does a good job of going into how and why that chart is hilariously awful.

Star Wars is fantasy that happens to be set in space.

We're on the same page. I even mentioned the Nazis in my comment!

The green reminds me of hand-applied solder mask, where you have to make a much thicker layer to make sure everything is covered.

This water isn’t reused, like on golf courses, it’s not collected and recycled. It’s pulled from aquifers and rivers and evaporated straight into the sky.

How do golf courses reuse water any more than data centers do? They're environmental disasters on a comparable scale, though obviously they aren't accelerating at the pace that LLMs are.

COVID safety was tyranny, according to Rodgers, but the panopticon is totally fine. Makes sense.

If 19.5v is requested, 20v is supplied.

You're misreading the blog post. That adapter has 19.5V written on it, but it requests 20V. 19.5V is not a PD voltage.

You can have a USB→barrel and you can have a barrel→USB.

The latter is pretty much impossible to make to spec, because it can't negotiate voltage. A barrel jack is single-voltage by necessity.

The interesting case is what I described, when the appliance and PSU are compatible in terms of voltage but still fail because of the protocol.

Respectfully, I'm going to have to disagree. It's much more interesting when it catches fire, and I'd rather have a protocol that sometimes doesn't operate in order to avoid the excitement of one that sometimes explodes

Also consider that a 20v barrel PSU could feed a dumb usb-c adapter which then fries a 5v device.

No matter what charging standard you use, some idiot could cut off the end, wire it to a stun gun, and send 100,000V into your phone. That doesn't make the standard bad, it makes the adapter bad.

And in both situations (usb→barrel and barrel→usb), it’s not foolproof.

If you do it correctly, a USB power supply being adapted to a barrel jack won't destroy any device that can tolerate 5V. It may not operate the device, but as long as nothing breaks, I'd consider it as foolproof as anything reasonably can be.

Countless consumers cannot handle the voltage matching task so if the plugs fit, they will try it.

That's just how electricity works. You can get 5V devices that use 5.5x2.5 barrel jacks and you can get 20V 5.5x2.5 power supplies. You can get C13 leads that connect to 240V wall outlets and you can get C14 devices that only accept 100V. If someone plugged things in without reading before USB, they broke things and started fires. PD simply doing nothing when incompatible devices are connected is a massive upgrade over that, even if it can be frustrating sometimes.

I'm getting the sense from your comments that you think that USB-PD will deliver a higher voltage than requested. This is not accurate. A device can request any of the voltages specified by PD, and the power supply will supply that voltage if it is capable of doing so. If not, it will provide 5V. It's very possible to get a sippy that won't power your device, but a working, PD-compliant power supply will not damage a working, PD-compliant device.

Obviously, if you get a barrel jack adapter that requests 20V and then plug it into a 5V device, you're going to let the magic smoke out, but that's because barrel jacks don't do negotiation. The power supply correctly supplies 20V as requested, and then you plug that 20V into the wrong thing.

Banning porn where the actors pretend that what they're doing is almost illegal is wild. What's next, prison time if they say that one of the participants is just over the age of consent?
