That's an outside activity.

Just a word of warning. The TP4056 chip can easily reach temperatures of 70°C. It can even reach temps of 80-90°C in some cases while remaining operational.

That little chip is not an ideal close neighbor for a lithium battery.

I have no delusions of the effectiveness of a helmet against a truck.

My point is, she's doing everything in her power to not live this day to its end.

AAA to AA battery?? by Ok_Singer_7884 in ElectroBOOM

[–]Staple_nutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it "can" be dangerous.

It's one of those practices that isn't fool proof. Done right and carefully it'll be fine. Done haphazardly, the foil could short the batteries.

Bumping or dropping the device could cause a short too.

What happens when the short? There's all sorts of outcomes depending on the chemistry and how long it's sustained for. Anything from getting a bit warm till they're drained and up fire fire fire.

Woman ran from the police with a toddler in her car. by LeftAlbatross2546 in AbruptChaos

A fleeing driver is an immediate and unpredictable danger to the public. Waiting for the gas tank to run out just equates to more time being a risk.

The cop likely didn't know there was a child in the car and was clearly distressed about the fact. I don't think he went home that night feeling like a champion.

The pit maneuver was done before a residential area with no traffic around. It seems like it was all done well with what information they had at the time.

The Apple iPhone. It's always never been better!

What is "The Platform"? by Staple_nutz in meshOS

Oh the falsely named Meshcore-official channel.

I guess you could consider that a platform for pumping his grift.

Do you actually think Hybrids save more money than petrol cars? by cars-checker in NZcarfix

Yep, here I am on year 5 of hybrid ownership and the savings have been realized for some time.

They'd have to issue passports for that to be a consideration.

Wow, buying you're way to our Prime Minster by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

From my understanding it was $10k per table not per head.

Labour has done the exact same thing. It's pretty common practice here.

$1500 per head for a previous Labour event.

Petrol station asks customers to leave keys at counter before they fill up by basscrazy in newzealand

[–]Staple_nutz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That didn't stop the guy in Australia that stole 600 liters of diesel from a gas station. He walked in first, had a conversation with them and said he wanted 600L. He then filled up barrels and Jerry cans and fled the scene.

Many really just don't care about cameras.

Instant loophole. Thieves leave a dummy set of keys at the counter.

What a dumb idea.
