There are a HUGE range of beverages with vastly varying flavors which fall into the category of "beer". How many styles have you tried? There are lots of alternatives to the fizzy yellow stuff sold in 30 packs.
I can imagine that a big imperial stout, doppelbock, or barleywine might make a great marinade for steak.
when it comes to having to pay for things like contraceptives or abortions.
How about this? You can withhold the percentage of your income taxes that provide abortions and contraceptives when you allow people who oppose war to withhold the percentage that gets pissed away on the military budget. Deal?

Yes, as well as being an OSHA and NFPA 70E requirement.
But you know as well as I do that it doesn't always happen. And that fused leads would greatly increase the risk of an accident in the real world.
So if your probe fuse blows without you knowing it, and you go to check if that wire is live, you get a nice zero voltage reading, regardless of whether the circuit is dead or not. The potential consequences of this should be obvious.
Input protection for the voltage/resistance ranges of a properly designed DMM consists of gas discharge tubes, MOVs, PTC thermistors, transorbs, etc. The internal fuses are for the current ranges ONLY, and need to be the HRC type for safety.
Properly designed input protection is the FIRST place that the cheap DMM makers cut corners. The second is properly molded and sealed enclosures, to contain the shrapnel in case of a catastrophic failure. Both are required to achieve proper safety compliance for a Cat III or Cat IV meter, which is what you want for measuring mains voltage.
A good illustration of what happens to cheap meters under high energy fault conditions is here:
Maybe a few high end benchtop ones, but all their handheld DMMs (which is what this whole issue is about) are well under the $3K level. You can buy an entry-level Fluke DMM for less than $150 last I checked. Most of the mainstream models are $300-$400.
And if you actually make your living using instruments like these, they are worth every penny you pay. Even if just for the security that the thing isn't going to blow up in your face when testing mains power...
especially if you have a whole bunch of these toilets in one location.
The solar power thing is neat, but an incinerating toilet is nothing new. Have seen them at remote locations like mountaintop transmitter shacks, etc, where there is no water or sewer service available:
Long before it had anything to do with improving your website's Google ranking, "SEO" referred (and still does) to a type of heavy duty rubber electrical cord. S=Severe Service, E=Elastomer (rubber) insulated, O=Oil Resistant.
So does this mean that IT folks who only know the other definition are as "ignorant" as the general population?
Once the melted core hit the water table (considerably shallower than 1000' down considering the proximity to the ocean), you would get a huge radioactive steam geyser throwing the fission products into the atmosphere.
to tell the officer exactly how far to shove the toilet plunger up the suspects ass during an interrogation? Point out the locations of local mosques for illegal surveillance? Figure out which community to target the illegal stop and frisk campaign on next?
By that logic... there is little difference between Sputnik & Apollo 11.
As far as demonstrating a capacity for deploying an ICBM (which is what is being considered here), there wasn't any.
Once you can put a booster into a predetermined orbit, and release a payload at a precise point, you essentially have the ability to deliver a warhead to any point on the planet.
The additional technologies involved in deep space travel/navigation, long term thermal and power management, astronaut life support, or the ability to soft-land on the moon and lift off again are irrelevant to lobbing a nuke at another point on the Earth.

The maximum potential is determined by battery chemistry and number of cells. In the Tesla, the nominal potential is 375 Volts.

A better candidate for sneaking THC into beer would be a GMO hop variety, as hops are the closest botanical relative to Cannabis.
Those folks will put anything in a beer....and make some fascinating brews!

Compare what happens to multiple brands of cheap meters vs. a Fluke when intentionally whacked with high energy pulses:

Notice that ALL the meters were damaged in this test. But the Fluke simply died gracefully, without exploding, catching fire, etc.

They will start giving the TSA goons a couple hits of meth before going on-shift?

Sounds like this one might go up to 12 or more...and is large enough that it won't be trod on by a dwarf.
Those who created and programmed Stuxnet needed to know the exact amount of pressure or torque needed to damage aluminum rotors within them...
No, they didn't.
They just needed to have a rough idea, and make sure that they experienced forces well in excess of that figure.
By that logic... there is little difference between Sputnik & Apollo 11.

Putting a satellite into a predetermined orbit proves the same thing, without the added expense of going all the way to the moon...
