No tongue of flame, but you might like this:

I had occasion to see cheap Ebay li-ion batteries "explode". There is a pop, but that pop is then followed by a small tongue of flame and smoke. This lasts a few seconds but it ruins whatever that tongue of flame was pointing at. I certainly would not want that in my pocket.
I'll chime in for the "actual experience" bit. I've twice seen li-ion batteries suffer catastrophic failure due to mishandling. Both times it was cheap Ebay Nokia replacement batteries that went up in smoke and a bit of flame after the phone was dropped.
I have a few good reasons for visiting my bank via Tor,
Such as? I'm genuinely curious why you would need anonymity to connect to a bank, whereupon you would immediately log into an account that has your name, address, phone number, and probably even your SSN and a copy of your signature on file.
You are correct in asserting that the bank will know it's me. But nobody else needs to know that I've visited my bank. My ISP, government, and neighbours on wifi don't need to even know that I have a bank account.
Exactly. The bank needs to know that I'm visiting. Nobody else does.
HTTPS ensures that I can trust that what I see came from the bank. Tor ensures that nobody other than the bank knows that I was there.
I came looking for this. I have a few good reasons for visiting my bank via Tor, and the truth is that I would leave the bank if Tor were blocked.
Blocking Tor is akin to saying "many robberies were performed by blacks, so we will no longer allow blacks into the bank".
I think that you are right. A system moving close to C will be as stable as a system stationary relative to the distant background. However, the interaction which causes such a system to accelerate to C would destroy most fragile structures, likely including most planetary orbits.
Yes, that is a principal of relativity: all inertial frames are equivalent.
You should have seen the Talk page. The page was closed as it was deemed "clearly promotional". Here is the text of the page that I managed to get up in about 10-15 commits before it was deleted:
Devuan is a fork of the Debian Linux distribution created as a response to the inclusion of systemd in Debian[1], and thus will include SysV Init as the default[2][3]. Thus Devuan will join Slackware and Gentoo as a mainstream Linux distro without Systemd[4]. More gerneally, Devuan ensures that "Debian packages won't become dependent on any single init system"[5]. Devuan is intended to "protect the freedom of its community of users and developers"[6]. Devuan is prononuced as "DevOne"[7]. The initial Devuan release is expected to be ready by the time that the next Debian release is ready, in order to provide a seamless upgrade path [8].
But that website is atrocious suck. Top AND bottom panes which don't move and serve no purpose other than to obscure the window? What the hell is this shit?
In an attemt to make a real source for info about Devuan aside from that horrendous page, I've created a wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Please help me fill it out with information and sources. Thanks!
Thank you. I've never worked with image processing before but I just might look into it. I appreciate your advice.
If you pick up something with reasonable video resolution that can do I-Frame only then you can use multiple images to do a super-resolution still. The premise is easy... Multiple images will not cover the exact same pixel positions (unless the drone is affixed to a stationary point). You can use this fact to merge multiple images into a single one with much higher resolution than any of the single images. The more images that you can overlay, the higher the resolution you can squeeze out.
The trick is to have good alignment and warping algorithms to do the overlays. I've done this for an employer in my previous life with impressive results.
I belive that there is software used for astronomy photography available which performs this function, but I've not found anything satisfactory. Is there any software that you could recommend, seeing as you seem to have written some yourself? Thanks!
You might notice that there exist only two industries in which the customer is called "a user".
