I'll be assuming the pole is not grounded (electrically isolated from Earth, the earth pin of sockets, radiators, plumbing etc.)
The difference is not DC vs AC but between it being connected across two screws, for which a high current source (hundreds of amps at negligible voltage) will heat the metal up - as opposed to connecting a voltage (like 120V mains for AC or 170V single-diode-rectified & smoothed mains for DC) referenced to ground to the pole. The former will draw a lot of current from the source through the screws and metal between them, heating it up. A car battery could briefly deliver hundreds of amps and several kW, making them glow red hot. The latter will create a potential between the pole and ground, which will only draw current when a load is connected between the pole and the ground. For AC, a person's body's capacitance to ground, even with insulating shoes, is enough to feel a tingle. For AC or DC of sufficient voltage (above 60 V), they will get a shock if they touch ground and the pole, completing the circuit.

And salty. Not good for robotic joints & electronics
If they don't prosecute child sex criminals, we can't expect borderline child casino operators to face consequences either. But Bobby Kotick (Activision CEO at the time) now has a scapegoat.
You are right but the field is not too far off, geologists should know where to obtain info on street lamps' hellhound resistance.
Everyone will be blaming Epstein for everything. Often justifiably, but that also takes away responsibility from people who can and should suffer consequences.
You can stick wires with mains voltage into any two pins of any motherboard connector but there's a reason they're not shaped like an AC receptacle 💥. Unless it's a ZX Spectrum, that cheap thing used the most basic connector (3.5mm jack) for everything: cassette I/O, video output and, unregulated 9V DC power input from the transformer brick, and people would often fry it.
Technically, a CPU fan is also optional but you need to provide some other cooling (water pump?) or accept massive throttling.
Windows is not even source-available. Windows XP is source-unintentionally-available thanks to a leak but there's no AI loophole in that.
I tried it, most functionality is there but the look and feel would take some getting used to...
They say lab is short for German Labor, which is short for Romanian laborator, which is short for Latin laboratorium.
Today's news told in names of two Czech companies.
Unfortunately, it took backlash from EU to turn the needle but they did it. Now one "only" needs 2 doctors' recommendation, 1 year testing period, and then 2 more notes from doctors.

This lamp by OSRAM uses the LEDVANCE trademark, implying it is an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. I repair LED bulbs (and tubes but broken ones are still rare) as a hobby, and while going through bins I have to avoid fluorescent ones (even CFLs in fancy globes). Welp, there goes my yet-flawless way to tell: "if it says LED, it's LED". I really need to shine through most of them! Shining a light through this one reveals nothing inside but a heated electrode at either end (aside the phosphor coating, and a gas mixture including a little mercury vapor), the normal components of an FL tube. LED tubes would include a driver and an LED strip (and usually a PTC at the other end). I mainly use the method to reveal the kinky or twisty tube of "sneaky" CFLs with milky balls.
Also, the company took a while to leave Russia but at least they did

Data mostly from Wikipedia. No warranty. For example, Slovak is arguably not an official language in the Czech Republic, just mentioned as “mutually intelligible” in certain laws but I followed Wikipedia and included it. Languages are grouped by the acronyms and sorted by their 2-letter codes. Those are based on their Wikipedia URL or my guess (sucks to be you, Montenegrin speakers, should have made your own Wikipedia). Countless Sámi languages are represented by North Sámi, the only one with a NATO Wikipedia article.
Changelog from v1 I originally posted on Reddit: Hungarian ÉASS → ÉASzSz (the "sz" stays together in acronyms because unlike most letter pairs it makes a single special sound).
