  1. Handwritten remarks can be very helpful, see Harry Potter. Ok, seriously, I don't know about the schools. But I know that some parents struggle with buying things for school. I am sure some parents will be happy to get books for free - even if they are not brand new.
  2. How about donating them to the school for future pupils?
  3. I drink alcohol from time to time. But then, I also don't have a problem if I don't drink it. As usual, it's a question of moderation.
  4. How about no drugs and no religion? Not because it is forbidden, but because people don't want it. Now that would be progress.
  5. The world would be a better place without drugs. But lets look at reality. What do you think will the above mentioned users do if cannabis is illegal? Will they just stop taking it or any other drugs? Or is it more likely that at least some of them will take illegal drugs? There are lots of problems with illegal drugs, this is why they made some of them legal.
  6. And I forgot to mention, then you have a medical condition which requires weed...
  7. Ok, privacy is an important point. So, what else do you do? Remove all other browsers - in case you installed any of them? Disable Windows updates? Don't use any programs which connect to the internet at least from time to time? The only way I see to guarantee your privacy with a modern PC is to disconnect it from any network. And I guess that is not what you want to do. A long time ago I used Wireshark to analyze network traffic. It's worse than the needle in the haystack to find something.
  8. I wouldn't be surprised if there would be a decent budget for such work, and probably lots of people received lots of money out of that budget...
  9. No problem, just tell the prison guards you don't feel well. Soon a helicopter will arrive and bring you to the VIP section of a hospital. Then just enjoy your stay until you will be released because of medical reasons. 😉
  10. 555 I work with computers since DOS 3.3. I was an official beta tester of Windows 3.1. And I still make money mostly with programming. I never had the desire to remove any program inside Windows. What's the point? Save a little "disk" space? No professional does s@$# like that. Just don't use any program you don't like. Problem solved.
  11. I saw the Woodstock entrance all the time when I visited G-Spot next door. I don't think I ever went inside. 😉
  12. Maybe next also remove Windows Explorer. Or maybe Notepad. Or Calculator. It is always amazing what keeps some people awake at night.
  13. I hope that wouldn't be reason enough for you to vote for that woman.
  14. I don't know what is worse: That such article is published here or that I actually read it and expected some exiting end to that story. Next: someone made instant noodles - how exciting
  15. And Israel does nothing. What a surprise...
  16. I don't buy crap. Looking at those vehicles which you posted here, is any of that from a reputable brand, maybe certified by someone with a reputation? I have a couple of Lithium RC batteries, all stored in a safe designed for those things.
  17. Always look on the bright side of life.
  18. And at least some of them looked sexy and could dance: Tina Turner, a long time ago Something modern ...
  19. And to be fair, they don't need to know. Kids also don't know how to operate a penny-farthing.
  20. Yeah, I know, not everybody understands it. Enjoy your ignorance.
  21. But believe it or not, the technology is similar. The difference it that a bigger charger has likely a higher output and for that reason higher risk. But it still has possibly the same risk like small chargers - just bigger.
  22. That convinced me.
  23. It is not always necessary to experience things firsthand to know about them. I.e. I don't need to have my house burned down to appreciate fire resistant materials, smoke sensors, etc. The problem with BEVs is that some people promote them, and they ignore, or play down, possible problems. And others hate them or only warn about the dangers. It seems mostly there are those extremes, there is little information from people who (want to) see the pros and cons. For someone who is not much into technology both sides might be able to convince him/her that EVs are just great, or that they are high risk. And asking someone who owns a BEV or two is also not sufficient. Only because they owned 3 vehicles which didn't burn down doesn't mean that will never happen.
  24. Chargers have a couple of challenges. Good chargers monitor in detail voltages, current and temperature. If something is questionable, then they will stop charging and maybe warn the user about a problem. Independent of that chargers can also be a risk for the user if the main voltage is not sufficiently isolated from the low voltage. This YouTuber has lots of videos about USD chargers. The principle is the same.
