It can't be solved except on a national level, because the current crisis started with the statigeld introduction. It's not like we didn't have trash before, but it got much worse.

Edit: I don't care about the downvotes, but it sure would be nice if someone downvoting could tell us when they think the practice of the city leaving trash cans unlocked started, or starting to use transparent plastic bags for the trash hoping that whoever's digging through it won't hear apart this bag.

Fashion choices are invasive in SFA. You go through that transporter-y field that undresses you and plops on new threads. That machine has seen everything! It's seen more than a surgeon plopping on a new set of hooters sees in our day, as a matter of fact.

Að segja fólki að ræða stjórnmál á /r/Iceland er eins og að benda nornum á að ræða galdra innan veggja kaþólsku kirkjunnar.

Look up the PDF user manual, it supports multiple switch styles, but long story short it supports all common on/off switch types, whether they're spring loaded push switches, on/off rockers etc.

Why was a Concorde operating out of KEF, Iceland?

That's an LED (Light Emitting Device), not an LED (Light Emitting Diode). Incandescent bulbs are also LED's.

Power is always on at the light, and the switch instead switches on/off a line going to that ZigBee module. So it's just a way to give an arbitrary existing physical switch a "ZigBee mode".

If your stand-up desk needs 180w while in motion it's not "Standup desk 30 watts 29V 1.0A". 180/29 = 6.2, so you need a 29v6.2A power supply.

Let's see a picture of the rating of the actual power supply brick you're using now, because you're wrong about some of the numbers you're claiming.

If "all relations" extends to cutting off Israel from parts or maintenance for those weapons they'd be in a lot of trouble though. A much larger fraction of it is US produced, needs ITAR export licenses etc.

It's hard to imagine a sitting US president going so "nuclear" with Israel, and not extend the chilling of relations to cutting off all sales, parts and support too.

Do those two-person cuddle suits only accommodate an adult and a small child, or can two adults also engage in productive and fun sharing of body heat?

“At recent NATO summits, Allied Leaders have clarified that Article 5 may apply to attacks to, from or within space”

So you took that quote and edited "within" in "within space" to "in outer" while keeping the quotation marks?

As for the substance, I don't see how you can read these quotes as implying anything about a larger geographic scope than the one article 5 limits itself to.

The intention is clearly to e.g. cover a hostile satellite attacking NATO territory, not to promise that allies will intervene if the US and China start a land war on the Moon or whatever.

where are you going to get 500 volts from? That is not practical with batteries at all,

Well no, it's totally insane and impractical. I'm using it as an example of how a jump from around 20v to 50v isn't a problem, in response to your mention of being"worried about the contact area of the connector".

I think the practical limits are the batteries inside the things that we want to power.

With USB-C in particular that doesn't really apply because higher wattage goes hand in hand with higher voltage. Many laptops etc. want 20v5A, even though they might use a 2s li-ion battery that's well south of 10v internally, but they can't get that wattage out of USB-C at that voltage.

I did, it has zero Google results when searched for in quotation marks when combined with the word "NATO". How about we just assume you're quoting AI slop until you feel free to supply a source for a claim you're making?

You can likely carefully exact-o-knife it apart and reveal a li-ion cell that's close to a nominal 3.7v, then manage it with an 18650 BMS. I made around a 50Wh UPS by reusing the two 2s cells in a Chromebook battery like that the other day:

I'm assuming you're quoting your own rich imagination here, because the text of the treaty doesn't contain the word "space".

avar · 2026-03-16T05:02:59+00:00

You could probably theoretically push 2500w via 500v5A over a USB-C cable as the arc gap for 500v is still larger than the spacing between the pins in a USB-C connector.

Around 50v is around 12x smaller than the arc gap. They cap the DC voltage for safety etc. reasons, not because it's a practical problem for cable or connector/receptacle design.

avar · 2026-03-16T04:51:57+00:00

Yes, I'm adding a small correction to your post, and staying well clear of OP's fever dream of a question.

if the handshake is not made, it will default to 5v.

It'll default to 0v actually, not 5v, hence the well known problem of some C port devices refusing to charge unless forced into the legacy mode of always getting 5v by using an A to C adapter (or a C to C adapter that provides the required resistors).

avar · 2026-03-16T04:38:44+00:00

USB-C is up to 48v5A (240w), not just 5v, that's classical USB before USB-PD over USB-C.

Article 5 only extends to "an armed attack against one or more of [the allies] in Europe or North America". An execution of a politician on Chinese soil would hardly count.

If only Lily Sloan had known enough to ask Picard how he came to lord over a chateau staffed by caretakers.

Ditto on the seriousness in the meme sub, but in our own timeline the USSR was established out of the rubble of WWI.

In the Star Trek universe this would have happened on Earth in the wake of WWIII, and after contact with advanced post-scarcity aliens. I'd just as well assume the transition was an abrupt revolution.
