California still maintains agricultural inspection stations. Based on the FAQ, I think the legal workaround they’re using is that they can deny entry to a vehicle until it is inspected even though they cannot, strictly speaking deny entry to people.
Scale is always a problem with questions like this. If these are percentiles of the general population, then I’m easily 10 and even trying to dig deep enough into Linux to break a Steam Deck puts you near the upper end of the scale.
If on the other hand, 0 is an otherwise intelligent adult who refuses to have anything to do with anything having a screen and 10 is Lovelace, Turing, von Neumann, etc… then I might be a 7 or 8.
Not Lemmy, unless the post tags a community.
Someone who voluntarily sits through an hour-long presentation clearly cares enough to take some kind of action.
Here are six topics you can probably do in about ten minutes each.
I’d mention Firefox in the adblocking section, but getting them to use anything will be a big win.
This is typical of forum software. Some have access controls, but they’re at the admin/moderator level.
In the USA, there’s a ground in that the neutral wire is connected to ground. Devices that take advantage of this have a slightly broader neutral pin that won’t fit into the hot pin.
I’ve been shocked with both. I can confirm 230V hurts more. Neither is likely to result in a medically significant injury with this kind of shock though - just momentary discomfort.
I like the USA type-A plug. That’s probably not a popular answer since I see lots of comments about safety features in the other plugs, but my focus is on convenience.
The plugs are small, making it much easier to design folding-plug devices like this one. It also means that cords don’t have a bulky knob on the end, and splitters and power strips can be smaller than other plugs - much smaller than Schuko type-C or UK type-G.
The most common objection is that it’s possible for live pins to be exposed when a device is partially plugged in. That’s true, and most people who grew up around them has been shocked that way once. Few have been shocked twice, as the lesson to be careful with electricity usually forms a lasting memory.
If you enjoy driving at a brisk pace on a curvy mountain road while hearing vroom vroom noises from the engine, sports cars are great! If you don’t, they’re less practical and more expensive than average cars, which is a bad deal.
To keep it concise, if it’s important to you that another person engage in a specific activity with you, making a plan with the other person will save you disappointment.

On my flashlight review website, every article links to a corresponding post on [email protected] and displays comments from there.
Not much links to it. It’s really rare that I see a blog, social media, or non-fediverse forum post link to a Lemmy post. That sort of thing still matters quite a bit to search engines.
I like my Logitech G604. This may be unhelpful since they’re discontinued.
My main selection criteria were:
It’s been a solid all-around mouse as well as having the feature set I wanted. The rubber that covers much of the upper surface is starting to degrade though.
A decade ago, I thought phone numbers would soon die out. Instead, the most popular messaging apps use them as identifiers and adoption of those in North America is poor.
It depends on how annoying a noise it will make if allowed to finish. I find it odd that the option to disable the beep on completion isn’t common. There’s rarely any urgency to remove what I just heated.
I’m content if my shoe cost is under $10/month. You’re just over a tenth that. It would be hard to get the number lower and still have reasonable comfort and protection from the shoes.
It had been the norm for phones, then Android came along and a much more PC-like level of capability became the norm for phones. SafetyNet didn’t show up until five years later and it didn’t get significant negative press.
It’s weird this didn’t get more pushback on mobile. Even the mainstream press was critical when Microsoft proposed it for PCs.
If someone is burning your house down, it seems very likely you would have an immediate use for guns.
