True. There’s lots of pretty dodgy cells floating around these days, and they are often marked as being from more reputable manufacturers… I’m speaking mostly of packaging batteries 18650 and larger (probably smaller too) rolled type batteries, though I assume there’s shitty prismatic/pouch types as well.

I didn’t see anything like that in OP’s image, which is why I wasn’t advising undue caution. Personally I try very hard to stick with reputable brands and establish manufacturers when playing around with bare cells, power banks, weird Amazon gadgets, etc.

I’m certainly not a proper expert either. I do try to exercise an abundance of caution with unknown or questionable products, damaged cells, etc.

Years ago when getting into quadcopters/drones I read some good advice; high powered batteries should be treated more like fuel than traditional NiCad/NiMh batteries. That advice has always served me well.

I’d imagine you’d get a reply faster than 5 minutes if it was a bot, no? To me it just sounds like competency possibly with some AI assistance.

You know I was wondering what got banned from steam, but was to lazy to look.

I hear this all the time… but it’s cat by cat. I’ve currently got 3 and one is always down for belly rubs, the other 2 have to be in the mood.

I now want this and only this! Full 13 hour cut.

What a fucking candyass. You have to wonder if the fuckwhit was getting kickbacks or something… I just can’t imagine any other reason for that kind of behavior.

Reminds me of a story I heard like 20-30 years ago. Some German dude wrecked his Merc on the autobahn… the cops get there and he just wreaks of schnapps but they find no bottles, no means of consumption. The car gets towed to a police station to be examined and they found that he had diverted the window washing tank into the cabin, dude wants a pug of schnapps and he hits his window washer button.

Going with a definite maybe 🤔

Okay… where did she get a wide screen version of the pipe screensaver? Whenever I try to run it on my computer, the damn thing only lays down pipe in a 4:5 rectangle :-(

Could be… but I’ve had one or two guys that I reported to over the years who replied that fast. One guy still stands out in my mind; ran a team of maybe 14, at age 27, got back to me within 10 minutes every single time, took him less time for a competent reply than it typically took me to compose the initial email.

He definitely seemed super human.

Save them for the collapse of society 😅

It’s going to be a two-rabbit-hole kind of night! 😂

Odd choice of timing… I wonder if they are sitting on a cache of hard drives.

I mean… it didn’t say he was smoking anything but weed out of the bong… probably but FFS, how about the 99 priors??? How was this asshole even behind the wheel of a vehicle? This stinks of a CI.

5 points for the awk command.

10 points for a perl script.

Uhhhh… I was ready to stand up and clap, but the more you read the lamer it gets! A) It’s an art exhibit that doesn’t sound even remotely permanent. B) Only members of government and law enforcement are permitted access to the files — so, the folks who already did fuck all. C) All of this information was already released publicly and is widely available, albeit not in hard copy… unless, you know, you want to; buy a laser printer, visit a Kinko’s… which feels like the most appropriate place to get something like this printed.

If they were honestly interested in disseminating this information to the public without exposing the identities of people that are unredacted they could’ve done something useful like redact the documents themselves.

Who could have guessed…

Don’t you mean spirits?

I mean… maps has been kinda shitty for years!

It’s still better than Wayze trying to sell you burgers and fries at every stop sign… but you need to tap the search box like 3 fucking times to input shit, and why is that? So you have ample opportunity to see Crapple’s list of “suggestions….“

And have you noticed that you need to zoom down to AntMan scale to see the names of some businesses in a shopping center, and yet others are virtually visible from orbit? Could it be that businesses that pay Apple stick out like a sore thumb, and business that don’t virtually disappear? Nah… Fucking Apphole behavior.

It’s time to face facts, Apple stopped giving a shit about the customer years ago. Before their headquarters was literally a Bond villain’s donut you could drive through their parking lot and it was a sea of shitty rust buckets, executive parking lot underground.

I was giving serious consideration to going Android again rather then buying a 2K+ tablet… but then I need to buy a new watch and phone at the same time to have a slim chance of interoperability so it’s basically a wash.

Fuck Apple.
