I'll be assuming the pole is not grounded (electrically isolated from Earth, the earth pin of sockets, radiators, plumbing etc.)
The difference is not DC vs AC but between it being connected across two screws, for which a high current source (hundreds of amps at negligible voltage) will heat the metal up - as opposed to connecting a voltage (like 120V mains for AC or 170V single-diode-rectified & smoothed mains for DC) referenced to ground to the pole. The former will draw a lot of current from the source through the screws and metal between them, heating it up. A car battery could briefly deliver hundreds of amps and several kW, making them glow red hot. The latter will create a potential between the pole and ground, which will only draw current when a load is connected between the pole and the ground. For AC, a person's body's capacitance to ground, even with insulating shoes, is enough to feel a tingle. For AC or DC of sufficient voltage (above 60 V), they will get a shock if they touch ground and the pole, completing the circuit.

There was an easter egg/leak (?) in the German subtitiles: the sun knight's off-screen voice was preceded with "Artus:" (German localized Arthur) so we now know his name.

If they don't prosecute child sex criminals, we can't expect borderline child casino operators to face consequences either. But Bobby Kotick (Activision CEO at the time) now has a scapegoat.
You are right but the field is not too far off, geologists should know where to obtain info on street lamps' hellhound resistance.
Everyone will be blaming Epstein for everything. Often justifiably, but that also takes away responsibility from people who can and should suffer consequences.
You can stick wires with mains voltage into any two pins of any motherboard connector but there's a reason they're not shaped like an AC receptacle 💥. Unless it's a ZX Spectrum, that cheap thing used the most basic connector (3.5mm jack) for everything: cassette I/O, video output and, unregulated 9V DC power input from the transformer brick, and people would often fry it.
Yup, it's real. How did it get into production with
- a flattened back tire with central hub very off-center,
- right pedal on the left side, and very far below the cyclist's leg,
- chain routing defying common sense,
- and a disjointed left glass?
At least the socks seem to be classic low-res stitch art likely by humans...
They say lab is short for German Labor, which is short for Romanian laborator, which is short for Latin laboratorium.

Unfortunately, it took backlash from EU to turn the needle but they did it. Now one “only” needs 2 doctors’ recommendation, 1 year testing period, and then 2 more notes from doctors.

Are regulations in this country a joke? How is this allowed?! The owner should not be getting free washes, but a Bohnice Psychiatric Ward admission.

...and paper that says "Enjoy the rust, swasticar" on the windshield
Seen in Prague-Karlín, about 30 m away from that other mildly vandalized vehicle. Looking up the licence plate, the owner's full name seems to be Igor Norton Tesla Slovák and it's the first Cybertruck in the country, so he must have spent lots of money importing it and modding it (and bribing officials?) to pass registration.
Yes, Prague is inexplicably car-brained for how dense the public transport network is.

Phil Mason, aka Thunderf00t, is a US expat at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and most of his last 80 videos are about criticizing Musk. I wonder if he ever encounters a Cybertruck (there have been multiple for quite a while) and films it up close, it would help if he stopped reusing footage so much.
Prague 16, Radotín, is a former village at the southwestern edge of the city, mostly known for its commuter rail stop between Beroun and Praha-Smíchov.
This is a joke, the console is unrelated in all but name.

The City Hall is running full Windows for a slideshow on their bar displays... -_-
(files.catbox.moe)
The slideshow is just the VÍTÁME VÁS / NA SHLEDANOU welcome/goodbye message (based on whether the panel is entry-/exit-facing, a URL, and wayfinding info such as "🠜 PŘEPÁŽKY 36, 38-44 / 🠝 RECEPCE, PŘEPÁŽKY 12, 13, 15-20, 28-29" . They absolutely could have used a way less powerful machine for this, or better utilized the screen estate (wayfinding on the welcome/URL screen as well? English?).
Does anyone know the software they're using? I recreated the icon:
