One of the more famous and recent examples is a buryat mummy of Dashi Dorzho Itigilov
His mummy is extra creepy because it has elastic skin, hair and fat so it looks as if he's still alive (see pic in the article):
According to Buryat Buddhists, Itigilov’s body is so well preserved because the Lama is still living, having achieved the higher meditative state known as śūnyatā, or emptiness
I was stupid enough to use one wire and not two, or I wouldn’t be here typing this
Well, I was smarter, but, thankfully, still here.
I was maybe 5 years old when one day I decided for some reason that I have to know how the electricity works "first hand". So I took an electrical plug with a wire from dad's tool box. It had two exposed copper ends. I plugged it in the outlet and while trying to inspect the "electricity" flow I, most likely accidentaly, have completed the circuit with my hand.
Interesting how the experience wasn't painful it's just muscles in your body get tense and you literally can't drop the wire or move at all. Thank god my Dad was around and maybe 10 seconds after I got shocked he pulled the plug. I had no serious injuries: just burns, a bit of shock and a lifelong lesson.
P.S. It was a 220V outlet too. But I'm not sure if it's more dangerous than the US ones.
Zip is fine (I prefer 7z), until you want to preserve attributes like ownership and read/write/execute rights.
Some zip programs support saving unix attributes, other - do not. So when you download a zip file from the internet - it's always a gamble.
Tar + gzip/bz2/xz is more Linux-friendly in that regard.
Also, zip compresses each file separately and then collects all of them in one archive.
Tar collects all the files first, then you compress the tarball into an archive, which is more efficient and produces smaller size.
it's a marketing stunt not a logic-related problem
Is that a landmine strapped to his butt?
Reactive armour?
Biology fact - fish can reproduce externally. Female lays the unfertilised eggs and male fish squeezes milt (spermes) on top.
Yes. It's also a Rube Goldberg machine, where photons travel millions of kilometers from sun to bump into some electrons, electrons then bump into some metal and fast metal pushes air in your room to make it move a little bit faster.
1 - bloat
2 - click-bait title
No, next one is obviously the transparent alpha version to complete "RGBA".
I bet you heard about safetynet on android devices. It is a service that checks if you run a genuine licensed not-modified version of android. If not - app developer can just restrict you access to the app. It is mostly used by banking apps, but there're many examples of not security critical apps utilize this.
Google wants to do the same but for browsers and websites. If you run firefox or modified chrome or use adblocks: youtube, twitter, etc. would be able to detect it and can restrict access to the website.

Wandavision was a 10/10 series for me, until they reintroduced all the usual boring superhero marvel slop back.
It had interesting characters, humor, mystery, weird unsettling feeling when simulation was a bit off. But they had to ruin it and replace with lots of bad CGI effects.
