I’ve witnessed many lithium battery fires with my own eyes, as part of my job (long story, not as interesting as it may sound), and while there is a lot of heat and energy involved, to the point where it competes with a hand grenade in terms of energy density, the energy release isn’t nearly as instantaneous (except from special circumstances regarding primary cells, but that’s also a long tangent that isn’t as interesting as it may sound).

The main concern is the offgassing and the heat. I am not a corpsologist, but I believe offgassing shouldn’t present a problem in a crematorium. I hear they have advanced hitech gadgets such as “chimnseys” and “filters”. (Citation needed)

As for the heat, lithium battery fires reach 1100 degrees C under optimal condition and while that is, to use a technical term, hot as fuck, anything built to withstand cremation temperatures every day for years should be able to withstand lithium fires that one day. It will certainly get hot, but probably not destructively so.

As a final note, yes, there will be pressure release, but the pressure wave is most likely negligible compared to the structural integrity necessary for a crematorium to carry its own weight. As briefly mentioned before, the pressure release of a battery is not instantaneous, and this is by design.

That’s several feet, yes, but clearly smaller than 6.

Q.e.d

Lies, nobody can make a burger that big

Should’ve called it a 2/6 pounder

Generally, personal items don’t raise any eyebrows. I’ve carried my own gadgets widgets and doodads through customs in a bunch of countries, and nobody ask any questions.

I also b®ought a laptop to Brazil for a coworker there, so he could avoid tariffs, and that was fine. But I made sure to get rid of the original packaging just so it wasn’t obvious that I was bringing something brand new and recently purchased abroad.

To add to this, I deal with massive storage clusters, and it is my firm professional opinion that hardware raid necessitates a proper raid controller with cache vault. If you have that, then you’re golden. If not, stick to software raid.

Pretty much this.

I was part of the piracy scene in the early 00’s, and it pretty much went like this:

• Be early. It gets people’s attention when you’re among the first to provide something fresh.
• Be prolific. It builds a brand when you have a lot of scene releases to your name.
• Provide quality. It causes people to prefer and redistribute your releases.

That’s his birth name, yes. But as an artist, his stage name was Joseph Goebbels.

Not to be confused with the R&B propagandist whose birth name is Joseph Goebbels, with stage name Chris Brown

Yes

Looking at the map, I think I’ve actually been to all of them except Brandenburg and Saarland.

EDIT: Unsure about Thüringen. And upon checking the autobahn map, I may have briefly been to Saarland.

I can count your ribs faster than I can look up government documentation, and even that’s assuming you’ve already been identified.

I know. I just never bothered to learn them, on the account of being scandinavian.

But I picked up somewhere somehow at some point that Munchen is in Bayern.

I only count one. Mostly because I only know of one and its location with certainty.

Yup, that’s my point. I don’t think a government (should) need this.

On that note, I learned from another commenter that in Germany you can have your gender deleted from their database.

I can think of a handful of ways of confirming someone’s biology without checking official documentation. After all, hospitals still check blood types and tissue types

Does it need to be tied to the legal system, though?

Yeah, that’s what I think some of the replies is missing: Whether or not it needs to be tied to the legal system. I can think of a decent amount of ways of confirming someone’s biology without checking their passport or drivers license.

As for rights and legal protection, I fail to think of a situation in a just society where the same rights and protections shouldn’t apply to both/all.

Optional extra, which I do: Change the SSH port to something non-standard. It’s not more secure, but it does cut down on the logspam.

Highly niche requirements not serviced by available hardware without costing waaaay too much. For example, we’re currently using Cisco Meraki MX85, and even they’re not quite there.

1 sounds slightly NZ to me
2 sounds like non-english, trying to come off as English
3 sounds slightly Scottish

So my answer is one of these:

• South Africa, because the saffers I’ve met spoke wildly different dialects
• UK, because I don’t know all of the UK dialects, and person 1 and 2 can just be from an area I’m not familiar with

Just for the record, English is not my native language.
