You can see that the hose enters the center of a centrifugal blower, which is the inlet, so the hoses are sucking.

I think there’s a bug causing threads that don’t have an image to pull a random thumbnail. I’ve seen a lot of unrelated thumbnails the last couple of days, but this is the first NSFW one.

That’s a ceramic. Not exactly what people mean when they say “aluminum.” I mean, if that’s considered aluminum, then so is sapphire.

Yo dawg…

There is a such a thing as an affirmative defense, though. An affirmative defense allows a person to commit an act that would otherwise be illegal under certain circumstances. However, as the name implies, an affirmative defense has to be argued by the defense. The burden is on the defense to prove that they acted under the circumstances permitted.

Consider murder, for instance. Self-defense is usually an affirmative defense. The prosecutor’s only burden is to prove that you killed someone. You have to demonstrate that you were acting in self defense in order to avoid the guilty verdict for murder.

So @vettnerk is asking a good question: will it be assumed that the doctor acted in good faith, or bad faith? Does the defense have to justify the abortion, or does the prosecutor have to demonstrate that it wasn’t necessary?

I don’t know how it is in practice, but conceptually clearing a jam in a 40mm grenade thrower sounds nerve-wracking.

I’ve got an older 3900X that’s Zen 2, but I’m otherwise clear, too.

It’s kind of hard to figure out which Zen # a CPU falls under, so here’s the Wiki page listing all Zen 2 CPUs.

Heat pump water heaters already exist, but I think they’re pretty expensive compared to gas/resistive heat.

I wouldn’t be surprised if electric tankless water heaters are indeed infeasible under this mandate. Heat pumps generally aren’t powerful, and tankless heaters require enormous amounts of power while in use.

For me it’s Fusion 360. The launcher for it opens your browser to log you in via the Web. Wine doesn’t seem to support that.

DCS has some sort of time/zone issue preventing me from logging in.

My MX Master scroll wheel behaves oddly.

Other than that it’s been not awful since I switched to Linux last month.

This feels like a comment from 1997. Aside from occasionally updating video drivers for a new video game, I can’t remember the last time I had to maintain–much less fix–a driver.

Taking regular walks around my neighborhood has really soured me on dogs. Every other house has dogs barking at me from the back yard or front windows. Almost every dog that’s being walked will lunge and bark at me. There are only a handful of well-behaved dogs that I enjoy seeing on my walks. Frankly, it seems like 95% of dog owners aren’t doing the work to properly socialize their pets.

Hell, I can’t even grill out in my backyard without getting barked at from three different directions.
