A USB stick reports itself as a USB stick. A device you set up to report itself as what you want reports itself as what you want. The only thing a computer can talk about a device is what the device reports itself. That’s how computers and peripherals work. The computer provides power and the peripheral tells the computer about itself.

So if you make a device that reports the exact same information as your other mice then yeah the computer thinks it’s the same mouse. But it’s not usable as a USB then. It can’t do other stuff.

Yes your friend plugging in a USB will get them in trouble, cause they can exfiltrate data.

I’m not trying to spin anything. He literally made a video where he states he is a liberal arts or business major. I’m not going to go find it cause I’m not going to support him. You can either support the liar or not, I don’t give a fuck. You can also either believe Wikipedia or his own mouth.

The article says it doesn’t smell, but yeah foil will be way more effective

Email your city. That’s unacceptable use of taxpayer dollars

Nah this one is great because if you’re unaffiliated you get to choose which primary to vote in. The majority of Colorado voters are unaffiliated, literally over 50%, so if you hate all the candidates on one side you can vote in the primary to choose the absolute worst of one of them and then the other side’s winner is all but guaranteed to win.

I couldn’t find my ballot this year so I completely failed to vote in the primary, but it was exactly who I was going to vote for. No better way to make sure no Republican wins than choosing the batshit craziest one who confessed to murdering numerous people and cutting off a cats head. If there’s one thing Coloradans care about it’s animals.

So if those businesses convince or bribe a politician to lower the minimum wage, that’s not exploiting workers?

Go ahead and give your definition. I’ll link the actual dictionary afterwards.

I thought the exact same thing as you until I loaded my cart page and saw it and got confused lol.

So I just watched that video and I’m sorry, but that dude is just as bad as Veritasium.

Let’s cover some of the bad science:

  1. What is this 24 hour time limit for these wipes sitting in water? Clogs happen in sewage systems immediately, not 24 hours later. And it doesn’t even take that long for sewage to move through a proper system anyway, so any clogs would happen at the processing facility where they are worst, not in “twists and turns” like this guy says
  2. He literally hides what happens to the toilet paper when he flushes it, but he didn’t hide it very well. You can see in later shots (like at 8:26 in the top right) that the toilet paper literally broke up by the time it made it to the concrete. That is how it’s supposed to work. The rest failed by the time they hit the concrete.
  3. He shakes the mason jars before opening them, then claims it is to “simulate the twists and turns”. This dude is just lying out his ass. Do you know the number of turns before you get from a toilet to the street? It’s like 3. I think every toilet in my house actually only has 1 or 2, depending on which floor. Shaking these up is so badly messing with the experiment. And guess what! They’re still completely intact! But the toilet paper one he barely shakes and yet it’s completely dissolved.

And here’s where we find out what he’s looking for: 12:20. He’s seeing whether these will make it through a house plumbing system. NOT a city sewer system.

Guess what. That same guy has this video from 4 months ago: https://youtu.be/6CQ5rMRvn8I. The title: “The Lie of Flushable Wipes”. He proceeds to say no flushable wipe is safe…wait for it…except the brand he’s selling. And he directly refutes all the bits of the exact tests he ran two years ago. He even says “your sewer system doesn’t agitate the wipes, it’s like a lazy river, slowly turning”.

Think of it this way. The wipes are wet in the package they’re sold to you in. If they haven’t disintegrated in the packaging, they’re not disintegrating in the sewage system. Else they would just sell you wet toilet paper.

I set up a business site recently and I accept payments through both stripe and PayPal but the payment form looks exactly like shop’s so I wonder if people are just using a standard form or something.
