"A bigot is someone intolerant of others' differing ideas, races, genders, religions, politics, etc."

I am very intolerant of the differing ideas of nazis, the far right, the westboro baptist church etc, so from their point of view, I'm a bigot.

I mean a microplane. It's also pretty much a generic term for a plane rasp with that specific style of teeth profile at this point, but this one was specifically one from them.

But yes, it's a grater.

They are simply pointing out that "racist" and "bigoted" are just as ambiguous in the exact same way as the "evil", "harmful", "good", "negligent", "bad", "unethical" etc he mentions for the other licenses.

"bigot noun a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group."

If being a bigot is good/bad/evil/harmful/unethical or not depends entirely on who is calling you one, and what you or society thinks of them. If you think that just because someone is a MAGA/Nazi/Tesla owner that they are bad, congratulations, you are a bigot.

I almost bought a Microplane today, but the big "Blade made in 'murica!" stamped on it was very helpful at making me leave it at the store.

At least 5 million, depending on how you define rural russia and how skewed the gender & age structures actually are.

Population of russia is 143 million, 35% of which are between 18 and 44, half of which are men. That comes to 50 million, 20% of who live outside the European Russia, bringing the final count to 5 million.
And as only 21.5 million people live in the Moscow metropolitan area, so if everything outside that is counted as rural you'd have over 20 million.

In both cases the issue is logistics, equipment and training, not the lack of bodies to throw in the grinder.

Ye. I have all Ikea smart stuff, by default everything is running a local mesh network with physical remotes and that light switch backup.

You don't even need to connect any of it to the net, buying a hub to get app & google home/alexa/etc control is entirely optional with the exception of a few sensors, like the moisture/water leak one. And even then, the app & hub work on local wifi with no internet anyway.

Nobody trained them on what things made out of spaghetti look like, but they can generate them because smushing multiple things together is precisely what they do.

Because that's not what he did.

The woman was holding a steak knife and refused to drop it, he shot her with the taser which caused her to fall - as tasers are designed to - but she hit her head and died a week later in the hospital. That's an injury that is always a risk when using tasers against anyone.

Should they be used against 95 year olds with walkers even if they do refuse to drop the knife and continue menacingly inching towards you, that's an entirely different issue.

Or you could just winamp it.

Oh, right, that's a terrible idea.

I love being woke here in Finland.

I'm not saying someone should...

The pandemic kinda is over and has been for a few years. That doesn't mean the virus is eradicated, just that it isn't spreading rapidly worldwide infecting huge amounts of people.
