I cannot fathom doing that to another human being let alone teenagers. Not really asking for a how to guide but more like do people like that have a disease or something?

helmet while laying on top of it? and be fine or save my fellow soldiers? What about a pipe bomb if I saw one could I just pick it up or kick it down the road and does or doesn't go off?

I know you gotta store the passwords hashed but doesn't that just move the goalposts? How come someone can't use the hashed end result to get into the service it was used for?

In stories, especially creepypasta, its sounds more like a magical contract than a piece of paper

Like if a private organisation hired you to kill people, a NDA doesn't somehow make that legal and you can't get sued for breaking the contract.

So, what is the legal extent of NDA?

I know the main cause is AI but why now, why was there not this demand at the same time as when GPU prices started to sky rocket?

Also I dont see why AI needs RAM like VRAM I get it but why RAM?

How do custom top level domains like you can get from Neocities work? For example, corru.observer and corru.works. My understanding is that making your own domain name is really hard or expensive, and a custom TLD is harder. And i'm pretty sure Neocities is run by one guy, so surely it can't be that hard to set up a domain name as an individual.

I understand that in order for an object to maintain circular motion, its velocity vector must be travelling perpendicular to its position vector and constantly changing inwards, hence an acceleration towards the center of the circle. I know that the acceleration towards the center is typically caused by other forces, like tension on a string, and that these are called centripetal forces I believe? However, objects in circular motion tend to want to be away from the center instead of towards. A bucket of water tied to a string and twirled around in a circle will result in the water staying in the bucket: if the water is exhibiting circular motion, would it not thusly be accelerating inward, and thus escaping the bucket? I've heard that it's a difference of frame of reference, but even looking from out to in, I can't see how the water would be accelerating inward and yet remain in the bucket without support. Would there not be some force pushing the water into the bucket? And yet, centrifugal force is considered a fictitious force. I don't understand. I know I understand some level of physics but please explain it like I'm 5 because I can't seem to actually understand this.
