Brazilian here, we have laundry/utility rooms too. They're usually next to the kitchen, to make plumbing easier.

The most famous case of a professional explosive maker blowing himself up must be Alfred Nobel's own brother, Emil, who died on an accident on one of their nitroglycerin plants.

All of those happened before the modern safeguards were adopted by the US. We're lucky none of them went super-critical. We just don't know for sure if the Soviet leftovers Russia has were upgraded to the same atandards.

According to the open-source intelligence (OSINT) site Molfar, Ukraine has sunk or damaged nearly 60 ships of the Russian Navy.

How, for fuck sake, Russia managed to lose 60 ships to a country that has NO NAVY ?!?

Holy! Shit!

I read this as "We're not competitive on a global market anymore, so let's retreat into an shrinking niche, until we're gone or someone buys us".

Sure, they can't compete in price, considering Chinese subsidies, but how about competing in the upper market, with quality and sophistication.... Oh, wait... those are US car makers. They wouldn't know quality if it smacked them in the face.

Well, then. Leave the low end to China and the high end to Germany and Japan then.

if you ignore the human element

And that's you problem right there. The same people that can get tricked into revealing their SN#, mother's maiden name, etc. are the ones who would reveal their private keys to a scammer.

Fraud is a social problem, technology can assist in managing them, but not solve the issue. In the end, it's all about the human factor.

Which means Russia has to move assets from other parts of the country to replace the destroyed equipment, creating gaps Ukraine can exploit, This reinforces the idea of how fragile Russia's defenses are

Even on ideal conditions (close to the Equator, no clouds) like in Northeast Brazil, you only get 5.5 to 6.0 kWh/m^2 of Solar energy, which means the roof of a small car, with 1 m^2 of solar panels, would only generate that amount of electricity if they were 100% efficient. That's just 10% of the battery capacity of a small EV, like a BYD Dolphin.

My point is, even if solar panels doubled their efficiency, they would still only capture about half the energy of the Sun (currently, the best panels are at 24% efficiency), which means only about 2.5 to 3.0 kWh per day.

This has been the law in Brazil for more than 10 years now. We have lots of problems here, but at least our consumer protection laws are top notch. And, believe or not, they're enforced successfully.
