No, that's old rechargables like NiCad and NiMH. They make rechargeable lithium ones these days that have an integrated BCU and output 1.5v until they're dead. Many you can charge via USB-C or micro, so you don't even need a special charger.

An unmoving magnet is fine, but move a strong enough one and it'll induce a strong enough current in circuitry to risk damage similar to electrostatic discharge. Not all components can handle over/under voltage without damage.

Nah, it's not fine. A changing magnetic field still induces current in any conductor. So, swipe a strong enough magnet across your phone in the wrong place and you'll run a strong risk of doing something similar to ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage.

A strong one would fuck it up 'permanently', as in it took active measures to restore a good picture (degaussing).

It can be both, but I've definitely been punched in the face by pure cologne/perfume on multiple occasions. Probably even more often than I've ever smelled BO equally as bad, including my own on those lazy stay at home days.

Though I do try my best to not get within smelling range of others regardless, so maybe cologne just has a larger radius most of the time. I'm definitely not sniffing pits to see how their BO mixes with what ever extra rank they've added...

It's not the health of them, it's how they're arranged.

OK then. Why is their symbol the cross, especially ones with Jesus nailed to it, when he paid for everyones' sins" in Gethsemone via his great suffering?

Then ya'll celebrate how he was murdered. Really good death cult you've got! Completely ignoring the personal sacrifice part and glorifying the suffering and death part!

Woosh doesn't even begin to describe Christian stupidity.

Don't you mean 1/6*π radians?!

US scientists also use metric.

All numbers are arbitrary until you relate them to reality. This whole debate is fucking stupid vibe checks on how people feel about meaningless numbers, because the temperature is the temperature whether it's -40 or 233, or 420.

A plane does something useful. The hallucination machine is a waste in nearly all aspects.

That's all videogame "AI", though. It's all basic algorithms that provide an illusion. That's why it's so great when they nail it.

Hell, even the real "AI" like Claude is still just an illusion, and there are WAY too many dumbass ELIZA effect suffering motherfuckers on this planet...
