The manual specifically says not to use them for torture but you know it definitely will be.

It also says not to apply it for more than 12seconds or to the throat, groin or face but considering it takes 2 hands to (de)activate it I don’t see the piggies taking their hands off the victim to comply with that.

The goal of stun guns is to lock the victims muscles up so they can’t move. These gloves don’t appear to do that and according to the manual someone else can be holding the victim while they are being used. The primary purpose of these gloves seems to be to cause pain. From their manual:

CD3s function by over-stimulating the sense of touch within the Peripheral Nervous System which causes Neuro Peripheral Interference or NPI. CD3 technology delivers a pain stimulus strictly to the area of the epidermis contacted by the CD3

This is a major simplification of a university course I took a decade ago but here we go. SIlicon doesn’t conduct electricity. Silicon can be doped with Phosphorus which means a P atom takes the place of a Si atom in it’s crystal structure. But P has 1 more electron than Si, and this electron becomes free flowing in the crystalline structure, which is now conductive. This is called a N-type (n for negative) semiconductor. You can do the same with Boron except this time we are 1 electron short creating a free flowing “hole” this is called a P-type (P=positive) semiconductor.These days I think they use different elements but the principal is the same.

When you put an Ntype and Ptype semiconductor together the atoms and holes migrate to each other, forming ions and balancing each other out, this creates a zone called the depleted zone and can no longer conduct electricity and has an electric field that repels more electrons (and preventing the entire thing becoming depleted). The depletion zone can’t expand because the electric field prevent any more electrons reaching the Ptype semiconductor.

Now when a photon hits the depletion zone it adds enough energy to the ion to kick the electron out again into the Ntype semiconductor, it wants to get back to a hole in the p-type semiconductor, but it can’t because of that electric field. However if there is a wire connecting the two it will take the long way around to get to the PType semiconductor again, generating a current.

ACAB but every paramedic has dealt with a couple fuck yous after narcan’ing someone. I’m not saying this to say cops aren’t fucking aweful but rather so as not to minimize how badly medical personnel get treated.

If I had infinite money and didn’t have to work, I still would, just less and with some different direction. I don’t think anyone thinks liking one’s job is required, but it’s obviously nice to not actively dislike a 3rd of your life if at all possible.

I’m only casually following us politics but what would the advantage of delaying announcing his death be (and why wouldn’t the same apply to Lindsey Graham).

I would prefer a prison cell, with locked in syndrome a close second.

Id like to point out that women tend to have very different presentations than men and what people typically think of as autism. Largely because they are socialized differently.

The The

Not nearly every race, there are 22 R seats up for grabs and Dems currently have 45. They need every single seat. Some of those republican seats won by more than 20pts last election, also it’s not a guarantee that all dems vote for it.

Here’s what is really meant: youtube.com/video/gYhtHCqsAHw/edit

no hydro

I don’t think thats true. Hydro already accounts for about 25% of Alaska’s energy (source). Here’s a list of the hydro plants noaa tracks, including a 20MW dam under construction.

There’s also this massive dam that could power 2/3rds of alaskas energy usage, it gets proposed whenever oil prices rise and then abandoned as soon as oil prices drop again. I’m not entirely sure of practicality of this one but it’s interesting for sure.

I am not a doctor, I just find steel interesting. I also prefer leaf to hash. but I think it’s going to take more than 1000C to create the fumes osha is mainly concerned about, which would make the steel yellow with heat, Even for welders it’s the sort of thing that should concern only people who do it professionally. That said you are kinda directly huffing whatever is coming off it (hypothetically of course). If it’s getting red hot, then it might still be having some oxidation, but it probably isn’t getting into your lungs and it probably is going to stay put in the metal, Probably…

If it’s not glowing at all you are definitely good.

Chromium is only dangerous (in reasonable quantities) when its Hexavalent (meaning it has 6 missing electrons). Trivalent chromium (3 missing electrons) is actually essential in trace amounts. Stainless steel has trivalent chromium. Exposure to high temperatures (welding, plasma cutting, maybe grinding) can oxidize it from trivalent to hexavalent but your kitchen utensils aren’t going to be exposed to that. I’m not an expert though to be clear.

One of the only things politicians agree on is that attacking politicians is bad.

This is probably paranoid, but a picture of a key is enough information for someone to clone your key fairly easily, probably not the car keys, but definitely what I assume are your house keys.
