If it was molten metal, wouldn't the bone have signs of heat damage?

I don't use public bidets, but the one I have at home I would say is critical to my quality of life.

The piracy bugbear has been raised as the reason why corporations aren't selling enough since mp3 was invented back in the day. It isn't always the case. OnlyFans is pirated but the piracy doesn't affect their bottom line enough to drive them out of business. If you think about it, lots of pornography on the internet is free, and they're still okay. It's a much more nuanced discussion than "piracy is stealing" than the corporations want you to think it is.

Edit: if I had to guess, the niche they serve or the value they add on top of "just porn" is something their customers are willing to pay for.

It's not even that good, I'd take a nice BLT over it any day of the week.

I'll get my friend to buy it from me for millions, then he can give the money back to me and when it sells again, we can split the profit. It's win-win!

Understandable but this is not a fuse in common usage of the word, which is used to break a circuit to protect against over-current. Rather it's an part that changes state irreversibly (much like a fuse would) when something happens. There is no implication that it would cut off the power to the CPU in this sense.

That is every media outlet in China, unfortunately, since it's part of how the CCP stays in power.

Are there legally pirated games?

It also seems to use a remarkable amount of CPU power for some reason, I could hear my PC's fans spin up significantly.
