Actually, no. Weapons like the RPG only arm a certain distance away from the launcher, to protect the operator in the event the warhead detonates prematurely.

Of course, the blunt force impact would probably do the job alone.

I've heard a few different parents say the first two years are miserable, after that it's a lot more fun.

Stonewalling is probably the best only one on that list where a response would actually make anything better.

I thought we could use something a bit more lighthearted for a change.

No paywall.

Can you imagine being the IT guy who got given the job of digging all that up? What a bizarre day at work.

I absolutely hate those "let's go around the circle and introduce ourselves" exercises. Making children do them seems especially cruel.

We typically have no idea unless explicitly told, no.

From my understanding, all the locals where this happened think this dude is a colossal dumbass.

I think his legacy is slowly changing though, and people are less impressed by his antics today than when it happened.

Charlie Sheen does grown up drugs and grown up women.

That is the most upper class headline I've ever read.

Check the comments of the original post for the stupidity.

For those of you without an electrical background, the diagram shows the protective earth connected directly to phase, with phase and neutral also joined.

Correctly wired, this would be a three pin plug, with the earth wire connected to the earth pin in the plug, with the other end connected to the metal casing of the appliance. This is a critical safety feature, which will cause the circuit protection to trip in the event a phase wire contacts the metal of whatever this is connected to.

If this was actually done, the most likely outcome is it would trip a circuit breaker, but if the neutral was broken, it would connect phase directly to the casing, and likely electrocute someone.

At least once in their life, every tech person should be forced to teach someone like my mum how to use a piece of technology.

That will very quickly change your perspective on what counts as user friendly.

developing or occurring without apparent external influence, force, cause, or treatment

Pretty much the definition of spontaneous if you ask me.

Are you suggesting the post in Lemmy shitpost might be a joke?

% per 100k? This person is making a valid point, but it's undermined somewhat by the fact they've clearly fucked up something.
