Lipo’s can absolutely burn your house down, but only while overcharging. Igniting a battery while you’re walking around with it will at most burn your pants down, not kill you.

You can absolutely make a lipo battery “explode” by overheating it by drawing too much power. But it’s the kind of explosion where it spews hot gas and maybe catches on fire. You’ll definitely get hurt, but that’s about it.

You can do MUCH worse by overcharging it. (note the size of that battery). There will eventually be a fireball if you overcharge it and keep overcharging it when it’s already swollen to a balloon. But you generally don’t charge stuff while it’s in your pocket.

These were actual killing-people-explosions. Lipo batteries don’t do that.

Secret backdoors… And planted plastic explosives.

Guy from Turkey forgets to list Turkey as a former empire that is now a shithole

Most of those are. India is pretty new as a united, independant country, for example.

Wait, does the driver in an Abrams really only have the periscope and the hatch, with no higher-mounted cameras?

Sinking a warship during a war… Yeah, seems pretty legit

Landing at 20m/s, which is roughly the equivalent of jumping down 2 meters. Without bracing, or seeing when you hit. While sitting.

These are way too thin for ESAPI plates or equivalent. I’m pretty sure this is literally just a random piece of sheet steel.

Bold of you to assume they get back plates.

The 14.5mm KPV heavy machine gun is human portable in the same way that an 80/81mm mortar is. As in, if you bring a couple of friends and don’t want to use it much, it’s not completely impossible.

It works fine for me, although maybe OP fixed it?

By “a black coffee”, do you mean drip/filter coffee? Because a caffe lungo is also a black coffee, for example

Akira definitely counts. I’m sure my parents were in the “all cartoons are for kids” camp that everyone was in in the 90s. Similarly, the Guyver.

Well, if Russia wasn’t a criminal kleptocratic war criminal state, they could just swap their excess rupee for yuan.

Alas

A little late-80s perspective: when I was growing up, “gay” was an insult we’d call eachother jokingly. Nobody “was gay” because that’s a (light, funny) slur. Hell, it wasn’t till I was 28 I realized it didn’t “have a dating-girls phase” that I never grew out of, I was just bi.

The homophobia is still pretty deeply ingrained even in people who aren’t that old and are really trying. I can only imagine how bad it is for those who aren’t and don’t.

You know who you are.

Isn’t it most of them? (but probably Hungary most)

Well yeah, my source was “count the red squares in the image”

The world is somewhat larger than the red sea area.

They were. From the article (but not quoted):

Intelligence officials reportedly expressed concern that Russia might target American contractors in Ukraine, leading the U.S. to push the responsibility for maintaining these jets onto European nations.

Sharks have caused 7 deaths in some 50 years.

Cows have killed about 13 people in the Netherlands in a decade.
