First, calm down. Defrosting peas is not in absolute or relative terms a big deal. Nothing in remote/automatic updates requires being brickable. Don't buy such a crappy fridge. Or, call a serviceman to fixe it, just like you woul

Don't bicycle races have inspections? Safety or otherwise? I'm more familiar with motorcycle and car races where there are long lists of "class", safety, and weight requirements. Would be trivial to detect either by wei

Sex is not an (individual) human need. Ever. Regardless of the length of time you arbitrarily decide on. There are people who have died from suffocation, dehydration, and starvation. They are relatively common. Dying due to sexual abstinenc
