  I urge everyone to look up the book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. The cultural patriarchy is crazy.

  Nobody questions how archeology is influenced by contemporary culture. When archeologists find a grave and goes “the body is buried with weapons and a shield, therefore it must be a warrior and thus a man. And they still fucking note how it’s weird that this definitely-a-man is smaller than other men from this culture, and his hips are wide, almost like a woman… But he’s a dude, he’s got weapons after all!” smh

  What’s the polite way to call someone a lil bitch. Genuinely curious because I wanna be PC but also an asshole. Anyway the creature in the post is a lil bitch ass

  I believe that the most socially acceptable way would be (and remember that it’s an example, and not directed at you):

  “fuck you, and your lil bitch ass attitude. You don’t know your father because he never even liked you, your mother blows strangers for bags of gummy bears and validation, and your ears look weird”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The grand prize⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My immediate response was to do the same calc. But using SI units, because I don’t live in Myanmar or the USA.

  I figure that it’s a cube, and judging by the size of the lucky winner, I would guess that the sides are 1.5m. 3.375m^3 at 19.254 g/cm^3 is roughly 65 tons. According to www.metal.com/Tungsten/202212260004 tungsten bars are trading for 49USD/kg. IDK where you got 340 USD/ton, but we seem to differ.

  65 tons at 49 USD/kg is 3’185’000 USD.

  I’d say that a solid homogeneous of tungsten should probably fetch a fair bit more than my price. Casting a cube like that is not going to be easy. Tungsten is rather reactive in the molten form, and has to be kept from air. Just alone keeping 65 tons of molten tungsten under a protective layer of inergen gas is going to be challenging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats the best website to get Electronic components for small projects in Europe/Germany?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t speak for Germany, but I guess that it won’t be much different than Denmark where my experience lies.

  Almost all my recommendations has been mentioned before, but I’d like to point out:

  • RS in my experience is reliable about 90% of the time. If you put in an order in can arrive in several shipments. I ordered 50 pieces of something got 46 from a UK warehouse and 4 from Germany. That’s another thing, some stuff ships from Frankfurt am Main, so no waiting for imports.
  • Reichelt is good for cheap instruments. I’ve never used them for components, I prefer RS for that, but for instruments they carry some of the Chinese stuff that you can’t get other than on ebay or ali.
  • Digikey stocks so much electronic components that sometimes you can’t avoid them. Where RS is really fast, their stock and prices are more suited for prototyping than production. Digikey is where you can get the specific series of cap and value you need for your repair project. Digikey will handle all the import and customs stuff as well.
  • el-supply.com is new to the post. They’ve been in business since the 70s, but is primarily targeted towards Denmark. But they do have an international site. Some times they can be extremely cheap compared to RS and Digikey, especially with regards to stuff used for teaching electronics. I’ve been a customer since the late 90s privately, and I’ve placed several orders each year professionally since the early 10s as well. Never been let down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If there is no punishment, why would you be afraid to be caught?

  I think the idea is that the thing that stops you in the moment is “I likely won’t get away with it” more than “if they catch me there’ll be hell to pay … but only if”.

  I mean you’re (as in the informal general usage of “you”, not as the second person pronoun) not going to pull out your phone while driving, if you’re next to a cop. But if there’s no one around that even looks like an undercover traffic cop?

  Human brains are bad at thinking in long term consequences, but immediate consequences? Those we understand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But should we even punish?

  I don’t mean to troll, so let me explain. Why do we punish? I think it’s two fold, we punish to deter crimes and we punish to exact revenge. But the fear of punishment doesn’t deter crime nij.ojp.gov/…/five-things-about-deterrence and that leaves revenge as the only both intended and actual outcome of punishment.

  Is the current costs of running a complicated criminal justice system really worth it, if all we get from it is revenge? Does revenge make society better? I don’t think so.

  I’m not advocating for anarchy either. There should be consequences for criminals. I’m just not sure what the consequences should be, but punishment is ineffective. I get that we have personal responsibility, and free will. And I’m not trying to excuse criminals, I’m just saying that punishment doesn’t work.

  There is a solution, it’s called insurance. I know that you wouldn’t get your family heirlooms back, but neither would you being armed but not home.

  I know the other guy wouldn’t say it, so I’ll go ahead and do it: you sound like you’re out for revenge, but you don’t know on whom to exact it. I fear that you could end up shooting a porch pirate in the back while claiming self defense.

  Check out my username for an idea of where I live. Besides a bit of gang on gang action in our capital, violent crimes are extremely rare. It’s maybe once a year that police have to shoot at a person, and even then police officers will assess the situation and if possible not go for center mass.

  Note how I left out theft. That’s because you can’t directly use violence to protect property.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 pin connector recommendations that have both male and female sockets available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the update. In that case I would be looking at terminal block plugs. They can easily handle the current, they come in a wide variety including panel mount, and they’re cheap. What’s even better, they don’t require crimping and one I saw didn’t even use screw terminals www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/…/370?s=N4IgjC…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 pin connector recommendations that have both male and female sockets available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also these that are rated for 300V 15A www.amazon.com/…/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?sr=8-1

  I use something like this when repairing screw terminals that my students have applied too much torque to and broken the through hole pins on. It’s a great type of connector. But if we’re talking portability, then it’s maybe not the most ergonomic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 pin connector recommendations that have both male and female sockets available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What are your other requirements?

  • Is this for a production or a one of a kind hobby/repair project?
  • How budget aware are you?

  Have you considered using more than one pin per pole? Ie if you had a 15pin connector, that can take 3A per pin, then shorting 3pins will give you 5 pins 9A. There will be more considerations to this though. Like how can you make sure that the parallel pins present a similar resistance, so you don’t get an unbalanced load.

  This isn’t really what this community is for. We’re here to discuss circuit design and other subjects on that level.

  I would avoid any 5€ solution that wasn’t a renowned brand second hand. I understand that you are budget aware, I too have a very close and loving relationship with my money, but I wouldn’t trust some cheap temu part to be plugged in without oversight. That’s a pretty easy way to wake up dead in a pile of smoking ashes.

  I’m sorry if I’m coming off as an asshole, I’m really not trying to. If you think I’m being snobby I suggest that you go watch a few big Clive videos on youtube. The chinesium stuff can be really poorly constructed.

  I’ve got another addition to my comment, but it does warrant more attention than an edit.

  So I’ve found a Danish language interview on this topic, from earlier this year, so before the man in this story was arrested.

  From soundvenue.com/…/nej-danske-skuespillere-er-ikke-…

  Generationsforskelle til trods lægger 57-årige Andrea Vagn Jensen og 23-årige Malaika Berenth Mosendane vægt på, at samtykket ryger, når klippene bliver taget ud af kontekst. Det samme fortæller Angela Bundalovic, der for nylig var aktuel i ‘Copenhagen Cowboy’, til DR:

  »Jeg oplever det som en krænkelse, at nogen bruger et klip eller billede af mig i en kontekst, jeg ikke er gået med til. For mig hersker der ingen tvivl om at der bliver begået noget forkert mod skuespillernes frihed og materialets ophavsretshavere«.

  Translated by yours truly:

  Generational differences aside 57yo Andrea Vagn Jensen and 23yo Malaika Berenth Mosendane emphasizes that the consent is lost when the clips are removed from their context. It’s the same for Angela Bundalovic, who recently appeared in ‘Copenhagen Cowboy’, who tells DR [Danish national radio and TV]:

  »I experience it as a violation, when someone uses a clip or still frame in a context, that I haven’t agreed to. In my mind there’s no doubt, that the freedom of the actors is being wronged as well as the copyright holders of the material«.

  The police even has a statement on the matter which I suggest that you run through your preferred translation service politi.dk/…/03

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man Arrested for Sharing Copyright Infringing Nude Scenes Through Reddit.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure she means molested as in abused or misused.

  On a side note, as to the molesting aspect, I can’t see how this is any different than 14yo me having a couple of VHS tapes where the boob-parts were more worn than the rest of the tape. Or going frame by frame on the Taxi 2 DVD in the scene where Petra does kung fu in a skirt. Or golden child where the mythical woman behind the curtain is revealed. Or the shower/locker room scene in robocop. Or the bath scene in coming to America. Or the playboy mansion in Beverly Hills cop 2… Anyway I digress.

  If you appear naked in a movie, expect teenage boys and creepy men to jerk off to you. Not the perfect world would be, I know. In the perfect world everyone would respect that the actress was only nude as an artistic choice, and it wasn’t meant to be spank bank material.

  Copyright on the other hand, I thought that was just a civil law matter. Wonder why the guy was arrested.
