Because these days we must coddle and shield the little shits from any and all adversity, danger, self-reliance, mild discomfort, or being unsupervised for any span of time. Even a single nanosecond. If we don’t, someone might get sued.

I have one of each…

To “own da libz.”

He’s pandering to the section of his base who all drive lifted coal rollin’ diesel trucks who all know that “everyone knows” electric vehicle owners are all avocado toast eating homosexuals who vote Democrat.

She also took in who-knows-how-much in donations to charity claiming they would be used to help the stick and the poor, but instead just gave that money directly to the Vatican who proceeded to do fuck all to the benefit of anybody with it except themselves.

Mother Teresa was a super fucked up individual, though. I’m not sure she’s really suitable for use as a benchmark.

What happens is, the alcohol component would get cooked out of it near instantly. Same as with cooking with wine.

The only bees with stingers are the female ones, though.

Mostly the second point. I would wager from experience that the majority of small man-portable conveyances that wind up at the bottom of lakes and rivers are there because they were stolen and thrown there. Bikes, motorcycles, rental scooters, shopping carts, etc. The reason is hooliganism, and the contributing factors are alcohol and teenagerhood.

Mario 2 USA was released in Japan as well. Later, though, in 1992.

Even notwithstanding all of the below (several enemies and other aspects of Mario 2 showed up in later Mario games, so we can only suppose its as “real” as any), Yoshi is also a strong contender for being trans. He is consistently referred to as male but cranks out eggs at an assembly-line pace and thus might be biologically female.

But then, so does Birdo. So who the hell knows how dinosaur-things work in Mario’s world.

• Hop around
• Call everybody “thou”
• Wield a cool sword
• Probably nail Queen Leene

Yeah, methinkest I art down.

Personally I think we should just start using the archaic forms just to confuse people.

If I get to compose emails like I’m Frog from Chrono Trigger, I am all about it.

If one of these were made for the US market it would obviously be configured to work at the US mains voltage and frequency. (Europe is 50hz, US is 60).

Your home’s power input is also 240 volts in the US, regardless of being split into two 120 volt rails at the breaker box. It would be trivial to hook up a 240 volt system if you really wanted to, albeit not through one of your regular 5-15/5-20 outlets. You’d have to do it via a dryer outlet or something.

Watts are watts. If the unit is capable of feeding 800 watts into your home’s electrical system, the voltage is irrelevant provided it can supply sufficient amps. A normal US household circuit is 15 amps, so a hypothetical US version of this thing would have to supply ~6-2/3 amps at 120v rather than ~3-1/3 amps at 240v. No big deal. It’s not even close to maxing out a single residential circuit on either continent.

Fuck it, we’re going to six skins.

“Common law” has no relevance to state law matters in the US (nor Federal, for that matter). Here is the relevant statute in this case:

https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=MCL-750-552

The bar for trespass is met only if the perpetrator has been “forbidden” from accessing the property by the owner. This does not have to be in person, or verbal. A “keep out” or “no trespassing” sign would suffice, and this is why such things exist. In this case I would be immensely surprised if there weren’t some kind of employees only, authorized personnel only, or keep out sign posted on whatever method of ingress was used to reach the inside of the sign.

The intent of this is clear, it’s so nobody can get done for merely setting foot on a property in some situation where they didn’t realize they’d left public right of way or a property where they had authorization to be. You have to tell the person to GTFO (either preemptively or upon discovery) and if they don’t, then they can be arrested.

The same government can’t even be trusted to reliably fix a pothole.

Penguin difficulty? Just git gud, scrub.

Post vid, please.

Well, metallic sodium liberates hydrogen real fast on contact with water, which I guess is tantamount to the same thing.

Yes. But not to the same level as just dropping a brick of pure sodium in a bathtub. In a battery like this there is not pure lithium/sodium/whatever just sloshing around inside. The sodium is tied up being chemically bonded with whatever the anode and cathode materials are. Only a minority of the available sodium is actually free in the form of ions carrying the charge from cathode to anode.

Just as with lithium-ion chemistry batteries, it is vital that the cells remain sealed from the outside because the materials inside will indeed react with air, water, and the water in the air. Exposing the innards will cause a rapid exothermic reaction, i.e. it will get very hot and optionally go off bang.

It is definitely that. That’s kind of the point, actually. Sodium is easier to come by than lithium and does not require mining it from unstable parts of the world, nor relying on China.
