Why idiots think they can just walk up to a wild animal (regardless of sizes) and do whatever they want?

cordlesslamp ,

when I was little, my dad had a parrot that can rip apart his metal cage. We have to replace his cage 2-3 times every year.

cordlesslamp ,

Years ago I read somewhere that they discovered a way to remove something from the blood and make it universal, like eliminate blood type all together.

Wonder how that research going?

cordlesslamp ,

And then there's the used cars market, so easy to search and buy with multiple online tools, services, and websites.

To a little kid, it's a whole different perspective. Peer pressure is an ugly thing. Your kid can feel ashamed or insecure just because their friends goes to Disney and they're not.

Make sure they understand that too, not just yourself.

cordlesslamp ,

How old are you? Different times, different perspective, different issues.

Each generations have its own issues.

Back in the 90s, if one kid doesn't have a Gameboy he's happy to watch other kids play. But now, if one kid doesn't have the stupid Stanley Cup, they're targeted for bullying.

You can't assume your own experience and emotions is the same as everyone else.

cordlesslamp ,

Usually your friends isn't the one who's done the bullying.

Bullies exist in every generations and ages, and they don't need a whole lot of reasons to bully someone else.

cordlesslamp ,

Or spend way too much time at it.

You're misspelled BRIBE.

Why would they invented a plugs that's not grounded? (Type A and C)

I fucking hate it because my country's default plugs is type C. Caused me so much trouble in damaged electronics, shocked, and the effort to make a grounded line for each individual electronics myself.

cordlesslamp ,

my pc case shocked me when I touched it, not a huge shock like live wires but enough for you to feel a little pain (like static shock on winter day). My phone charger also shocked me the same way when i touched the metal part of the USB head.

cordlesslamp ,

Hi, so should I just grounded the neutral wire from the fuse box (the one that goes from the pole into the house) instead of running a ground wire to each devices?

cordlesslamp ,

It's a $80 GAN charger from Ugreen and the C-to-C cable that came with my iPhone.

I would be a big sad chump if it's a faulty brick. But thanks, I'll find a way to troubleshoot that.

If I have a USB powered device, could I leave it plugged into a portable power bank (like the kind you charge your phone with) as a power outage backup?

Basically as the title says. We have semi frequent power outages where I live. The noise machine in my daughter's room goes out and wakes her up. If I were to buy a USB powered one, plug it into a power bank like one of those 10000ma ones you get for charging cell phones, would it have continuous power. Basically like a cheap...

cordlesslamp , (edited )

That's old power banks from decade ago. Majority if not all reputable powerbank brands now have charge passthrough.

Some will charge your device to full first, then disconnect the device and charge itself second.

Some will slowly charge both the device and the powerbank itself (I emphasize the Slowly part, probably at 5V 0.5A).

For OP, look for something on the packaging that indicates it have the mentioned above function.

HOWEVER! No good powerbanks will work as a UPS. Because they have built-in protection that will disconnect the power when fully charged or turn itself off when the plugged in devices is full.

I said "good powerbanks" because cheap, no-name one doesn't have those protections and will keep on trickle charging both itself and the devices, which is really bad.

Also, as a rule of thumb, you DO NOT want to plugged in your lithium battery at all times and keep it at 100%. That's the recipe for disaster waiting to happen.

A cheap or 2nd-hand acid-battery UPS can be bought for as little as $30-$50 on Ebay, even the smallest one will be capable of powering the noise machine for days.

No, it's the customers who's gonna be fucked

Taylor Swift have more chances winning than Harris tbh.

cordlesslamp ,

LOL Taylor Swift is indeed a force of nature, or at least can summon one at will.

cordlesslamp ,

Umm, lovebombing?

cordlesslamp ,

You fool. That's what Big Milk wanted you to believe.

Yeah, it's the Doppler effect that creates those cool sounds from the bystanders perspective.

My sweat will ruin any white fabric after the first or second wear.

cordlesslamp ,

I don't mind a 1000% - 10.000% tax on disposable plastic.

See how fast corporate jump on the "green initiative".

cordlesslamp ,

You're making a lot of sense. I've never thought about it that way.

cordlesslamp ,

Umm ACKCHYUALLY....

the Nile river covers 11 countries: Burundi, Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, Republic of Sudan, Ethiopia, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, and Egypt.

cordlesslamp ,

You're not wrong.

cordlesslamp ,

If you can't tell that's intended as a joke then I have some bad news for you.

cordlesslamp ,

GOD DAMNIT! For the first time, the stupid American date format is more interesting.

Car 2, 3

Planes 1, 2

Monster Inc 2

oh, right. You mean like..... EVERY Disney's live action adaptations? There are a lot of them lately indeed.

Neutrinos: The inscrutable “ghost particles” driving scientists crazy ( arstechnica.com )

We haven’t pinned down the masses of any individual neutrino, and we don’t even know which ones are heavier than the others. When it comes to our ability to collect raw data, neutrinos present a triple threat: they’re incredibly lightweight (even the electron weighs over 5 million times more than all the neutrinos...

cordlesslamp ,

Scientist: Made up a particle.

Also scientist: Can't find that made up particle.

How about something the size of the moon?

I read that if we took every nuclear weapons we have and detonate it on the moon, it wouldn't do jack shit and the moon will just shrug it off.

cordlesslamp ,

The one that's a hundred meters across, sure.

The one that's the size of Texas, not so much.

10 hours/day on YT and Netflix

Depressed

Existential dread

Anxiety

Eat

Sleep

(In no particular order).

cordlesslamp ,

Please take my critical thinking away, I don't like it very much anymore. Seem like it's the only thing keeping me from happiness lately.

Would Sudo do anything you said if you say his name first?

Imagine:

Sudo fetch

Sudo close the door

Sudo rm -rf /*

Sudo poop in the toilet

Well Yes, But Actually No.

Netflix don't make games (for now). They just bought the game's license, remove all IAPs and paywalls, and include it with your Netflix subscription.

Generally it's a good thing. HOWEVER! The way Netflix did it requires the studio to make a complete separate version of the game and give it to Netflix.

So most of the time, it became abandon-ware. Because the separated Netflix version stopped getting updates and bug fixes soon or right after release.

STOP with the Shrek AI pics already!!!

My penis can only get so erected.

Ok, you just struck a nerve here, that shit drive me crazy.

I'm a first time father of a 6 months old and I love him to death. I want to spend every waking moment with him so I take up as much "baby works" as possible since his birth. Bath, feeding, changing, play, exercise, going outside, doctor appointments, I do all those things.

And EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME I got asked "where's the mother?", "Is she busy today so you're babysitting?", "Why you have to babysit today?"

HAVE TO? BITCH! This is my fuckin pleasure, I'm craving it, I'm addicted to this little poop machine. GTFO!

I want to yell at their face "THIS IS MY SON, I LOVE HIM, CAN'T I JUST BE WITH HIM!?"

My wife admitted that I do a much better job taking care of our baby. I am kind of "extra careful" type of person and I've been taking care of foster newborn kittens for a decade, and believe it or not but some skills does transfer over. Infants is basically function on pure instinct, and I'm damn good at anticipate it. I can accurately translate my son's cry 90% of the time. He has 3 distinct cries for hungry, sleep, and diaper change, then later another "i'm bored" cry.

My wife would often call me on the phone to have me listen to his crying and ask what'd he want.

I'm a damn good father and I'm proud to take care of him. I don't have to do it, I GET TO do it!

This graph alone conclusively proven global warming.

cordlesslamp ,

Maybe it's too narrow?

cordlesslamp ,

That comes later when they are all in a confined space.

It's bribe. Just say it.

Be patient with a baby/child and not getting frustration.. They may not always do what you want and it's important to understand that it's not on purpose, they don't know any better (literally).

Ok it's a fun story for me.

I can't grow a full beard. Literally and physically can't. My beard are thin, pointy, hard, can't grow pass 1/4 inch, it's embarrassing.

So in my late teen, I thought: "If I can't grow a beard like a man, then I'll shave like a man".

So I decided to learn to use straight razor. And oh boy, I have no idea how fun it could be. And the beginning of a new hobby/obsession. Watching YT tutorial, asking a real barber for advices, finding the best razors, shaving cream, etc .....

Took me 2 weeks to practice just shaving 1 straight line on both cheeks, 1 more week to add another line under the chin. It took 3 months before I can confidently shave my entire face. I got a few minor cuts, but the thing is the razor is super sharp so the cut is tiny and super clean and could be healed within the day. It gives the cleanest shave I've ever had, no electric shaver can even comes close. My face feel like a baby's ass.

Now I look forward to every morning to shave. I have a spare razor on my desk to hold and familiarize my hand with it while watching something on the PC. Even do some light dry shave, because the feeling is so addictive.

soon there's gonna be Bluetooth (hehe) speaker and microphone in your teeth. Then the next thing you know is your teeth need security and firmware updates.

That voice haunt my dreams.
