It would make a cute SSD enclosure, but alas...

I'd think mercury would be too dense to form bubbles. Though it does have a very high surface tension, so perhaps I'm wrong. I actually have quite a lot of mercury, but trying to blow air through it as a test doesn't exactly sound appealing.

Hmm, might be a Pixel / GrapheneOS thing.

I thought they just meant a mouse cursor...

I'm at 943 cycles on my Pixel 6 Pro and it's still going strong. I slow charge it every night and try to avoid fully draining the battery to slow down the deterioration, which seems to have worked pretty well. Thankfully a battery replacement is only $50 so it won't cost much when I do have to replace it.

Idk about everyone else, but I'm only celebrating because it's the one day of the year when setting off large explosions is socially acceptable.

Six months later, all 10 showed considerable hearing improvement, with the average volume of perceptible sound improving from 106 decibels (very loud) to 52 (much fainter).

They're understating that a bit; that's an increase in sensitivity of over five orders of magnitude. 106 decibels is about as loud as a chainsaw; 52 is on par with a normal conversation.

Do deepfake explicit images created from a non-explicit image actually qualify as CSAM?

I've archived it on the Wayback Machine.

you must keep it in cash

you don't have an address, a phone number, [and] you can't interact [with] people in public

using just the internet and an email

What do you expect me to do, download a $20 bill from the internet and print it??? I guess the only realistic option is to walk around busy places after everyone's left and hope you stumble upon someone's dropped wallet.

?? is this real..??

Of course, didn't you hear about when 7 billion people got killed?

 
 
 

The site this screenshot comes from, SpotWx, is actually really awesome for looking at weather forecasts in detail. (Most of their models are only for North America, sorry Europeans).

 

I'll be drying the silver out and weighing it sometime in the next couple days. Closest guess when I do gets bragging rights! (And absolutely nothing else)

The scale was zeroed with the beaker empty, and it contains only water and silver (and a trace amount of copper nitrate). If you have a strategy behind your guess, please do share it!
