no, because it'll just trip fuse, and stoves are wired directly anyway

C/E/F also have shutters, probably more types do that too

Type E and F plugs are not really a thing anymore, today it's more common to find combined Type E/F plugs.

Fuses in british plugs are a mistake and only a requirement because of sketchy practices allowed in british electrical code immediately after WW2. Nobody else does that because nowhere else electric code is built in such a way that it is necessary. Switch seems to be mildly useful tho

i think they also did that last year, after strikes on refineries, and duration of it coincides with grain harvest. but this year much less oil refining capacity was struck

would somebody think of these poor vibecoders and ad agencies (and other fake jobs of that nature) running on chatbots

i like how on lw there's a comment saying exactly the same thing but 5x more verbose

so, a trebuchet?

with wood, the problem was with lignin which is tightly crosslinked, meaning that it's insoluble and organism willing to eat it has to secrete some enzymes to break it down in smaller bits that can be absorbed

depending on plastic, this first step might be easier or even happening on its own. there are already bacteria that feed on nylon but nylon starting materials are easier to digest for them

damn, a clanker pretending to be a human. humans read entire words at once, and this includes numbers, length and first digit already give some indication of magnitude

no joke, he wants to live forever, he's into cryonics and wants to test some random ass not-yet-meds on people to that end (see his anti-FDA stance and enhanced games)

it's like leaded gasoline for internet - it makes people stupid and aggressive, kids are hit the worst by it, fallout will be felt for decades, cleanup might be hard to impossible, and ultimately it's a product of corporate greed. except even leaded gasoline solved some problem

it's also like gambling as in hook model. it's like cocaine in that it has been marketed to managerial class as a status symbol of sorts

if you're being invaded, then killing aggressor side soldiers solves very practical problem of getting invaded by them

unless you're saying that the ethical thing to do is to keel over and die in this situation
