I am 5'8" and 120 lbs. I lift 3 times a week. How about you?

Edit: and to the original point, wasn't the weight limit very low? So if a fat person wanted it, it would probably still not work for them.

No you respond with "I'm not fat I have <disease>." I wanna know about your ailments.

I backed a Kickstarter for some bike wheel locks back in October of 2014. It is now August of 2016 and this fuckman still hasn't delivered me his bullshit product. The last email update was June 1st, where he was offering to ship them to people who paid for their own shipping. Lol nice try idiot, you won't scam me twice.

Bike wheel locks already exist. Why did you crowdfund an existing product?

AliExpress does tens of billions of dollars of business a day and for good reason. It's silly when people fret about using their credit card in there when Alipay is literally the largest transaction service on the planet, you really don't realize how much they're selling.

I always figured the risk with aliexpress was getting something so cheap it disintegrated into a pile of heavy metals in transit, not getting crimed.

I completely understand Australia being strict with this kind of thing. They are an island with a unique and delicate ecosystem that can be ruined by alien species. They experienced firsthand the destruction caused by vermin the Europeans brought there, using up resources, killing local inhabitants and then forming their own government.

Isn't it a bit late at this point? I thought Aus was like 50% wild boar by weight at this point.

In somewhat related news, one of the PS3 emulator projects started advertising you could play Persona 5 from start to finish on their thing, complete with big splash screens with art from the game. They almost immediately got a "we will sue you into the loving ground if you don't remove P5 compatibility from future builds of your emulator" from Atlus.

That's not actually something Atlus can ask for since it's unlikely the compatibility settings use any code or other IP from the game. They can at least stop the marketing, I guess.

I think it's more a threat to go after them using the power of money, which can make your life miserable even if you're completely in the right.

The most useful security feature on my gun safe is that it's heavy enough that you'd need, like, 4 guys to carry it. The two locks are probably really goddamn simple to pick.

Platystemon posted:

People thought that there was a fundamental difference between the composition of living and nonliving things.

Sugar is organic because it�s found in living things. Quartz is not because it comes from the ground. Pure carbon also comes from the ground in the form of coal (the root of the word �carbon�).

Chemistry could be done on living matter or nonliving matter and never would the two would cross.

In the nineteenth century, it was discovered that the two could cross. It is possible to take stuff out of the ground, do some chemistry on it, and turn it into substances indistinguishable^* from those derived from living things.

Living and nonliving things, it turns out, are actually all made of the same stuff.

�Organic� had to get a new definition and chemists worked backwards to get there.

The modern definition is often simplified to �contains carbon atoms� but to be more specific, bonds between carbon and hydrogen are required. This helpfully excludes many substances like diamonds and carbon dioxide, which had long been known to come from the ground.

There are, however, still exceptions to that definition.

*Indistinguishable with their technology. Nowadays things like (lack of) radiocarbon would give it away.

Neat, thanks for the explanation.
