    We both know what it is.

    You're just using a contrived simplified definition of 'suitable' that ignores economics.

    I am so disappointed with /.

    You don't cut U-locks. You break them open with a hydraulic jack.

    Bunch of god damn pussy law abiders around here, babes in the woods thinking this lock will do anything.

  3. Nobody cuts off u-locks. You break them open with a hydraulic jack. Cutting them is a real bitch, while popping them open is quick and easy.

    This is just a stupid idea from someone who doesn't understand shit.

  4. One vote in favor the the Euphemism dance.

    Moron, Idiot, Retarded, Challenged. What do they have in common? Euphemisms, initially meant to protect 'tards feelings, that turned into insults.

  5. The inventors also clearly don't know how to break a U-Lock. No cutting involved. Put a small hydraulic jack inside the U and pump. Pops open having only broken the lock.

    Most electric fences only 'hurt like hell'. They are common on pasture boundaries.

  7. Because the level of effort the police will put into finding the person who 'assaulted' a bike thief will be epic?

    Even if the cops saw you do it, they wouldn't do a thing. If it's just the dirtbags word, they will fill out a report for him, just like they do for you if your bike is stolen. No effort will be made.

  8. Search youtube for Taser, trap, bike theft.

    Taser in the seat, Burner phone to trigger. Leave it near dirtbags, backoff and wait for the fun to start.

    Most of the scumbags piss themselves when the taser triggers. Taser to the boys has to hurt. Labia wouldn't be better.

    I'd likely add a boot to the face while recovering the bike, but that's me.

    'U locks' are best popped with small hydraulic jacks. The gas would never be released.

  10. Amazon, eBay, alibaba, hobby king. Same shit, buyer beware. Amazon is pretty good about refunds, but you won't get your time back.

    A 2002 with a twin turbo LS-6 could be fun.

    To be suitable for 'base load' a plant must have a low marginal cost. So no, not all plants are suitable for 'base load'.

    Fuzzy little foreigners are confused about billion vs. trillion. Thousand million is the unambiguous standard.

    Most university research reactors run on weapons grade or near weapons grade. Most are subcritical, so you'd need to the fuel from two to make a bomb.

    Stuxnet was Isreal. They 'let it slip' * at the retirement party of the general in charge.

    Whoever this is, they're having the time of their lives watching the chaos. I'd buy them a beer. If is was Russians, they would have just extorted the Democrats. This is someone doing it for the luls.

    * Could be psych ops.

  17. In CA if you have 3 vehicles backed up, you must pull over. Even if going the legal speed limit. It is enforced on bikes, they have a legal right to a lane, but must pull over same as any slowpoke.

    They match the statistic for all human driving. But automated cars only drive in the safest circumstances. Where human drivers also have about 1/4 the overall accident rate.

    Best data is: Current 'automated' cars are about 4x as dangerous as the average driver.

    Go away. Data beets anecdotes every time.

  22. 1000 shortened URLs/month is a single 'targeted' phishing group?

    Nonsense. 1000 shortened URLs/month is an open account being used by many interested parties.

    lets see the other 9000 targets. Bet they are clearly from all over the map. I'll further bet CNN will tell us it's illegal to look for ourselves.
