Even assuming it is a thing, they could quite easily just, you know, shield the cables. Which I would have assumed would be the default anyway given being underwater and subject to the environment.
Pour one out for all the software engineering department heads who bought their teams a Cursor subscription and in six months will be nervously explaining to the board why their software called one of their users a name consisting of six racial slurs strung together.

It's quite astonishing how well the filter works while also being easy to breathe in. Like I can actually feel a difference in air quality. The nose pad in the filter helps the filter seal. It's just the gap between filter and front of mask shoots the filtered exhale out the top towards my glasses.
A person in a tan baseball cap, orang hoodie and glasses. They are wearing a sage green AusAir mask. There is some condensation on the glasses from the mask.
Got an AusAir mask to try, and on the whole, I like it. Easier to wear, better seal, replaceable filters.
Only things I don't like is the upfront cost (wait for a sale) and the gap between the filter and the exterior cover makes it more likely to fog my glasses.
Without who each of these people are playing, it may be a bit premature to be negative.
But also, none of these people look like a teenage boy, let alone an Autistic half Japanese boy from Prince Rupert BC.
So maybe I should be negative.

I do love being allergic to almost everything except hogh histamine foods.
Because randomly reacting to a fulle "safe" food due to hitting too much histamine is so lovely.
Yeah.
...yeah.
Repeated insitance that the victim be grateful for, or saying things like "Aren't i generous/nice/etc."
There's a bunch more, but all of these things are meant to get those thoughts into your head, and make you their character witness.
And that's also grooming you to be an abuser as well.
Repeated usage of phrases or words that seems incongruous (this is often referring back to an abusive event to goad/harm the victim).
Saying the person "asked for it," or otherwise deflecting/abdcating responsiblity for emotional harm.
Things to look out (or listen for):
Teasing that isn't "good natured" or the person being teased is visibly uncomfortable with.
Taking statements or actions the wrong way repeatedly and intentionally.
I hadn't pieced it together until this post, but it's exactly what my ex did. And thus I was the evil abusive one, not the broken person trying to defend myself.
They'll also push and goad their victims into more visible, audible or noticably physical, so it's more likely the incident looks like the victim is the aggressor.
Being groomed to be a character witness often means they'll push their victims into defending themselves in front of you. They use methods that are non-obvious or easily dismessed by outsiders.
Making it look like the victim is the bad guy.

I will always find it confusing that some people think a person riding a $2000 bike to commute is a privileged elitist but the guy in the $80k truck that costs $150 to fill is the working class average joe.

Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother, and my sisters, and my brothers.
Lo, there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning.
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them.

Happy Charter Day and Canada Health Act Day: two things that give us rights that Conservatives hate
If Bluesky engineers insist on crediting their successes to “AI” while praising vibe-coding, it’s only reasonable for the rest of us to blame their failures on “AI” and vibe-coding as well.
Photo of the South of Scotland regional ballot paper for the Scottish election on 7th May 2026. Added text identifies the "INDEPENDENT GREEN VOICE" as "NOT the Green Party" and "SCOTTISH GREEN PARTY" as "The actual Green Party".
Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.
Let there be no question that moving off of fossil fuels means freeing ourselves from the shackles revealed by Trump's Iran war. Anyone arguing for keeping a fossil fuel economy wants us all in chains and at the mercy of a dying, inefficient way of doing things.

Shaun Fluker predicted this on @ablawg.bsky.social, a must-read on the electoral commission report. A reminder that democratic rights under s 3 of the Charter are not subject to the notwithstanding clause. This is one instance where the UCP cannot try to avoid the courts.

This is a major line being crossed by Alberta's UCP government. Throwing out the work of an independent boundaries committee is authoritarian and extremely anti-democratic.
“To do otherwise is a radical rejection of the voices of many Albertans who took time to weigh in on the redesign of the electoral map.”
