Even $1,000,000,001 is too much. I'd probably cap it somewhere closer to $10m, if we have to use money.

The main problem with the belly as a target in a self defense scenario is that it's too slow. If you're being attacked, you want to end the fight and escape as quickly as possible. Wounds to the belly kill via blood loss and sepsis, which takes at least several minutes during which the attacker can keep causing you damage.

The femoral artery in the inner thigh is what you want to aim for. Also, the tendons along the inner wrist are responsible for grip strength; if severed, that hand can't hold anything. Take a good look at the anatomy of those areas and you'll have a good start.

Your reaction times and agility from fencing will help you in a real fight, but the actual techniques not so much. Stick to slashing attacks, as stabbing can result in your blade getting stuck in or between bones.

One aspect to consider is exactly what data these devices are exfiltrating from your network. You usually can't see the contents of the telemetry sent, but given that a LOT of smart devices have cameras and/or microphones, do you really trust that your IoT devices are not sending back audio and or video recordings of the inside of your house?

That's an interesting point, and leads to a reasonable argument that if an AI is trained on a given open source codebase, developers should have free access to use that AI to improve said codebase. I wonder whether future license models might include such clauses.

I always understood that phrase as more like "no point in half measures if the consequences are the same", because a lamb is a small sheep.

So, wild thought. If you can't brace from the front to prevent tipping, the other option would be to lock down the back. It also sounds like you need a smoother surface for your desk chair.

What if you laid down a sheet of plywood and attached the rear legs to it? If the rear legs can't lift, the desk can't tip to the front.

I don't know if poopreport still exists, but if you're really interested in creative words for shit, that site is/was an absolute gold mine.

“It’s called colorized hyperspectral X-ray imaging with multi-metal targets, or CHXI MMT for short,” said project lead Edward Jimenez, an optical engineer

This guy isn't allowed to name things anymore.
