It helps to not be a loser right now. Elon is in his 50s and still acts like a childish, insecure douchebag. The fact that you are able to acknowledge your previous loserdom makes you already less lame than Elon. No amount of money can make him cool because he completely refuses to ever work on himself.
There are times when the original standard has zero forwards compatibility in it, such that any improvement made to it necessarily creates a new standard.
And then there’s also times when old greybeards simply disregard the improved standard because they are too used to the classic way.
I kinda like it still, because if it’s something i’m looking forward to, then i’m probably super nervous about it, so cancelling it makes me relieved i don’t have to worry about it right now. (Assuming it was just pushed further down the road rather than cancelled forever)
Like, i love DMing TTRPG games, and i hate how hard it is to schedule sessions, but at the same time, i secretly love it when a session needs to be cancelled because i’m always less prepared than i’d like to be.
There’s a couple of laws I think would make that illegal on Brazil. First, you have to accept legal tender, for example you cannot have a “credit card only” policy. Second, they are laws against “married sells”, where you can’t sell items on “groups” without the possibility of them for being bought individually (like you cannot sell pizza+soda, without selling the pizza or the soda individually). Based on those I guess you cannot not accept a 5, neither force the client to buy 5 if they only want 1.
But those laws don’t seem to imply that the seller can’t give 5 grilled cheeses when accepting a $5 bill. There is a possibility of buying just one grilled cheese, you give them $1. If the client chooses to produce a 5, after reading the rules, then whether they plan on eating more than one or not, it doesn’t matter.
In this situation nobody is refusing to accept legal tender nor are they attempting to make “married sells” with items that can’t be bought individually.
If those are separate pieces of metal embedded in the skin, they will feel something. If it’s just an incomplete ring, it will draw so much current that the battery voltage drops too low to feel anything but the heat.
Dry skin is hundreds of thousands of ohms. Even wet skin has pretty good resistance. When you touch a 9v to your tongue, you’re starting to mess around with lower resistance flesh, it is definitely not a comfortable thing to do.
The metal ring doesn’t do anything to move more electricity into your body, but it soaks every electron the battery can push and turns it into heat. Best I can figure it would amount to a few watts, which would be toasty if you were holding it between your fingers. The septum is a thin piece of flesh, I think it would sauté pretty quickly.
I used to put small coins on the terminals til they got super hot, then drop the coin on the desk in front of them. When they go to pick it up, it burns them. Peak comedy.
They prob wouldn’t get shocked but the ring and battery will get very hot very quick as there i pretty much no resistance wich means there is a lot of current flowing.
Someone else in the comments claimed to have calculated a resistance of 0.2 ohms.
I=U÷R
9V ÷ 0.2Ω = 45A
45 amps is a lot of current to flow through a nose ring. I don’t know how much that is in heat but i’d expect you to get burned from it
There was a song from Pearl Jam called Jeremy that had this line:
<span style="color:#323232;">Daddy didn't give affection, no
</span><span style="color:#323232;">And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
</span><span style="color:#323232;">King Jeremy the wicked
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Oh, ruled his world
</span>
What they meant is that the mother neglected him because she didn’t want to be seen in public with him.
Yeah. I mean, as an autistic man I can put myself in his shoes. People don’t really accept you and you always seem to say the wrong things or the right things at the wrong times. You want to be liked and accepted, so you accumulate wealth to try to have social standing and influence. But even as the richest man you still can’t really find your footing socially. It’s sad and I feel for the guy on some level.
Okay, so let’s say I actually found the time and had the confidence in my own creativity/sense of humor to make a meme or something. What do you prolific people use?
I don’t currently have access to a decent laptop for this purpose, so it would have to be on mobile, and every free image editor app I’ve tried is lousy at making meme images. Maybe I’m missing the obvious ones, but I could definitely use a ‘For Dummies’ tier guide to making OC.
Sharing links costs almost no time. Moet memes and stuff I make I just google x meme generator and there it is. It takes literally under a minute. Save to photo roll
To upload I use Memmy, while I use Voyager to scroll through Lemmy usually. I use memmy for uploading because it offers uploading images to imgur. Since my instance doesnt allow for image upload this is a good solution.
If I want to add text to a random image I just use whatsapp/signal to edit the image and send it to myself.
Don’t stress too much about thinking of a good title, puns are cool but not necessary.
