Without getting into specifics, I’m 100% confident I can cut through up to 12mm of hardened steel in under 10 seconds with one, assuming I get the alignment right and the steel isn’t going to shift on me. Given it’s being called “heavy duty” chain, I’m going to assume a layman’s version of that and say 12mm is probably overkill, but let’s just go with that.

10 seconds of grinding. I’ll give myself 3 seconds to run in, 3 seconds to run away. 6 seconds to cut, we’ll go with 4 of those actually making contact. That’s 3 trips per half-link (you need to cut through both sides of a link to pull the chain apart) so 6 in total to break one strand.

I’d say 30 deaths is generous.

And again without getting into specifics, blood on brushless tools doesn’t do much, especially if I use some corrosion resistant coatings on the sensitive contacts.

Ultimately though, one would hope the immortal being is willing to accept the temporary trolley torture if it means the others can be rescued

“dictatorships are bad”

“now slow down there, pardner, there’s some nuance here you ain’t seein’”

Lolwut

Imagine being pro dictatorship, or even trying to justify why your dictatorship is actually good.

To answer the titular question, “one day at a time”

Life has no meaning. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves, to borrow a movie line.

I have no grand plan, I have no ultimate purpose. I just am here, and one day I will be gone. Hopefully I can make some other people’s lives better in the meantime, although I certainly wouldn’t say I’m living for other people.

All it does is make me think “wow, Samsung is really cheaping out with the logic staff, strike harder!”

I guess they’re just… What, liberating Ukraine?

Definitely not annexing it for the past 12 years, certainly not invading and slaughtering civilians.

Only the uskkka does that. And also Israel. And also anyone who disagrees with me is a CIA nsa shill chat bot mouthpiece pushing nazi pedophile propaganda

Some people have never had to cut through chain quickly, and it shows.

Give me 10 minutes with my cordless angle grinder and a fresh pack of cutting discs and I’ll have every link cut from head to toe

Or 20 minutes with a hacksaw and I’ll at least have a link cut that allows me to unravel the chain.

Or just make the immortal person Jeff bezos and I’ll just call it a day?

Personally I’m a big fan of Antarctica.

Never seen their people or government do stupid shit.

Every time I see"court orders striking workers to go back to work" I always wonder yo myself why they think that will work.

Of course, I’m even MORE baffled when it works.

You guys had them so terrified that they got courts involved, and you think THEY Hold the power?

Protip: if you hold out long enough, fines will be dropped. If you hold out long enough, their resort is to put you in jail, in which you still won’t be working (for that company, anyway)

Also there’s a super secret move where you and your coworkers drag your employer out of their home in the middle of the night.

In 2018,Musk was calling rescuers pedophiles for saying his “cave rescue” idea was impractical and would’ve been too little too late.

Ah yes, the “Ukranian imperialism” that is checks notes “defending their country from imperialist expansion by Russia”

Fuck off, fascist mouthpiece

Lmao sure it was “the libs” and definitely not the government that actually did things.

I hope someone can do this to microslop, then it’ll get fixed in 20 minutes. (and break 6 other things in the process)

Had the DOJ just purchased it from the start, we would never even be hearing about it.

Again.

I was planning on buying my wife a laptop so we can play games together. Not anymore.

I was also hoping to upgrade my RAM this year, but that’s definitely not happening now.

Honestly I probably just won’t be upgrading for another 5-7years.

Crazy how greed will drive off all business even after the price spike has come down.

My first car was a Nissan altima, I pulled apart to get running. I wanted to go off road at a friend’s property, there’s not much difficult terrain, like bouldering or anything, just bumpy and filled with potholes that catch cars every time they hosted large events.

I put a 2in lift kit on it, and after becoming confident it won’t get stuck at my friends house, I got a winch that I could store in the trunk, an extra scissor jack, took that fucker to the woods and tried a few trails popular with jeeps and Subarus.

It’s crazy what kind of stuff you can get up to if you don’t care a ton about the car you’re driving. Eventually put the extra stuff in my pickup, and that car slowly got used less and less until it blew a gasket into cyl 5 and I decided I didn’t want to pull the entire engine apart a second time.

If you don’t “look the part” then people will judge harshly regardless of how (in)capable you are at something.

Goes for a lot of things in life.

Well I’ve participated in printing, collating, and handing out zines, so I’m basically already marching the streets calling for public hangings of politicians and good God fearing straight white Christian famnuclear families, as far as some political parties are concerned.

I think it’s hilarious how often people around me share anarchist opinions and viewpoints, yet cringe when they hear the A word.

RTGs do get put out in space, however they aren’t used for everything. If a single rocket experiences Spontaneous Unplanned Disassembly while carrying an RTG, it’s a disaster that spreads radioactive materials.

The entire point of an RTG is to use the waste heat as power, and if I understand RTG design, the cooling fins are to provide the difference in temperature that thermoelectric modules need to produce power. So there isn’t a ton of heat that it gives off in general.

Look at the international space station. It has massive radiator panels, and all it needs to do is house humans and the equipment to keep them alive. A lot of bulkiness of space suits is dedicated to heat management.

The #1 product of data centers is massive amounts of equipment-killing heat. That heat either gets radiated via massive radiator panels, or the space data center cooks it’s own equipment.

Also it will now absorb much more heat and heat the water more, likely making filtration much more complex due to changing water conditions.

My pool always gets gross the day or two after a Heatwave starts, and until I ut more chlorine tabs and algaecide, I don’t even like to be near it.

The POOL is fairly simple to get back in line.

This massive reflecting pool? Not so much. Bare minimum the whole system will need redone.

And she might have supported Israel in an ongoing genocide!

And started a trade war!

Sure glad none of this stuff is happening.
