So, just like how pretty much every other drone manufacturers drones already work. Somehow people only give DJI shit over this and develop a curious blind spot about everybody else.

It is trivially easy for anyone with thumbs to kit-build a drone with no regulatory compliance whatsoever, in nearly any size, with absurd range and capabilities, for just a few hundred dollars. Despite that state of affairs having been the case for years, this has mysteriously failed to cause the Earth to fall out of its orbit into the sun.

Before doing anything permanent, consider a little strip of electrical tape. If electrical tape isn’t thin enough, Kapton tape is cheap and readily available (and useful!) and is incredibly thin. It might help.

Part of it is resonance throughout the entire metal body components of the knife, as well. A bell doesn’t ring just because the clapper hits it, it rings because the whole surface is allowed to vibrate afterwards. So consider adding material to dampen not the contact surfaces themselves, but any large, flat, and hidden surfaces that are – most importantly – free of any mechanical interference. This may be easier.

You probably won’t find anything marketed as sound insulation that’s thin enough, to look into finding generic self adhesive rubber sheet or felt that’s thin enough to meet your requirements. I have a knockoff M, and I’m sure there’s about 3/16" of clearance around most of the interior of the blade track, possibly excepting the part immediately left and right of the spine.

Anyone who is planning shenanigans and doesn’t take phasing or teleportation is asking for it. Sooner or later some government entity or another is going to try to put you in some kind of prison and you’d better have an escape card. Especially if you also take immortality. If you’re immortal and some asshole Cask of Amontillados you, you’re going to be pissed off about it forever.

And is “divine powers” just a free combo deal of magic, invisibility, and immortality?

Pfft. Everyone knows nobody really lives in Montana. They just pretend they do on paper so they can incorporate LLC’s there and put license plates on their dirt bikes and quads. Montana’s entire population is actually in Kentucky and Florida.

Just think of all the moose you could farm in that space, or whatever it is the Canadians want to do with it.

Assuming that there must be a meaning to life is falling into a trap of letting theists frame all the questions. Leading the question like that right from the jump is already getting off to a bad start. Religious types use this as if it’s some kind of “gotcha,” as you have observed, and it’s silly to even play their game.

Life is what you make it, not anyone else.

On Linux I have always used vsftp. Under Windows you can just enable (s)FTP functionality through IIS, even on home versions of Windows. You will have to go to the “Turn Windows features on or off” applet in the oldskool Control Panel and check off “Internet Information Services (IIS)” -> “FTP Sever.”

If you’re hosting this through your home internet connection you will probably want some manner of dynamic DNS so you don’t annoy yourself if/when your ISP randomly changes your IP address. I use no-ip, but in true BBC tradition I must point out that other options are available. They have a little client applet you can run on your machine that regularly updates your IP address so your dinky fake domain name always points to the right place.

Is an FTP folder too low tech? You can run an FTP server on any potato of a computer and access it with… Well, basically anything.

You can run it on your own box and it’s yours. No ads, no snooping, no limits other than drive space.

32 grams and some change. A little over three times the weight of a Kaweko Sport, but then the latter is made all of plastic.

If you don’t like unscrewing things this is unlikely to please you.

To wit, I haven’t managed it yet.

The rub is, it’s inevitable you have to mess with the damn thing when the rest of the household is thoroughly active. Interrupting power to every other circuit and appliance in the place is often simply not an option. Especially once the obligatory hardware store trip to get the new breaker – bringing the old one with you to match it up – enters the equation.

When you remove the hot wire from the breaker the wiring is by definition dead unless you have transient voltages from elsewhere that should not be there. If you do, you have deeper problems. Plus, you should do so with the breaker in question off anyway (and if you have a dud one, the only reason you knew about it was because it failed open circuit in the first place, so it’s already off). The breaker’s casing is extremely well insulated, and no part of the operation requires touching anything except insulated wire or the plasic breaker casing itself.

People also thoroughly overestimate the danger as if there are magically somehow different volts inside the panel than out of it. Yes, you can theoretically touch 240v if you manage to grab both bus bars at the same time. Otherwise, the shock you may deliver yourself is literally no different from mis-grabbing a normal plug via touching its prongs while it is partially inserted in an outlet, which is I’m sure something everyone has done at least once in their lives.

You should still know where your home’s master breaker is located anyway, of course, in case there is some other catastropic emergency.

I think it’s a great idea, and I already watermark my own stuff. Are you proposing doing it automatically?

Chic! Stylish! Perfect for eviscerating yourself on the corners and edges!

Boy howdy, I sure can’t wait for 99.9% of all manufacturers on Earth to completely ignore this as well, and keep selling devices and cables that are completely unlabeled.

And almost certainly so that uncoordinated users don’t slice the insides of their cheeks.

So is lobsters and crabs.

Eating them anyway, though.

The other poster is correct in that the master breaker may be elsewhere. It will be on the path of the two big wires coming put of the top there, wherever it is they go in your house. Probably right on the other side of where the incoming line goes through the wall.

But I actually came here to say I have never once in my life shut off the master to replace a breaker. Remove the hot wire from the dud breaker first and then that circuit is dead. Just don’t touch the bus bar in the back of the box and you’ll be fine.

If you suspect shenenegans re: things being hot that shouldn’t be, you can verify with your multimeter or voltage probe before touching anything.

You only have three knives?

(You can’t see it, but I’m making my Smug Face.)

Perennial camping-stuff manufacturer Light My Fire do indeed make a Knork, which is the first example that leapt to my mind. They may call it a “spork” but the fork end has a (butter-grade) knife edge machined into one side of it. As an added bonus, you get a whole entire unmolested spoon on the other end, too. Anyone who is cool enough to count would surely get the titanium version, which may just barely achieve enough rigidity to actually cut anything.

I used to have one but I lent it to somebody for a camping trip – damned if I remember who – and never got it back. Oh well.

Well, I can at least claim that I can legitimately claim an oft-unused spot on this diagram through being one of the probably select few who has ever put an edge on a spoon.

Look, some of us have a brand to maintain, you know?

Also, perhaps now is a good time to dredge up this.

The Turing Test as it is popularly conceptualized is really more of a test of human intelligence (or stupidity, more likely) rather than that of the machine.

If you put a big enough idiot in front of the screen, Dr. Sbaitso could conceivably “pass.” Well, maybe if you muted it, anyway.
