Could be, though I've heard people use plug interchangeably.
Connections for data, the female side is usually called a port; for electrical, it's officially called a receptacle, though more commonly called an outlet or sometimes a socket. The male side is always the plug.
Part of the reasoning is that dust can't really settle on the contacts if they are facing down. It's the same for the most part with rj45 (ethernet) ports.

Unfortunately that wouldn't be likely, considering there is history of fires with improperly designed/tested devices even from "respectable" brands (see note7). With e-bikes, the same issue would apply and with the battery being much larger and charging much faster; generating more heat and creating a larger potential for a runaway reaction.
I doubt that fine would be legal. The most I've seen is just a standard requirement for a license/permit (i.e. legal ownership), and maybe restricting open/concealed-carry in the neighborhood (but outside the house. Inside your house is out of the HOA's grasp, though.)
They could be liable if, and only if they are proven to be be aware (or willfully ignorant) that the man's general conduct/demeanor would indicate a proclivity to violence rather than him just being crotchety. Unfortunately, things like that can be hard to prove as they can require a lot of digging.
Illicit rule making being in their repertoire wouldn't make it any more just (two wrongs, and everything) or enforceable, as the gun owner could easily just not abide by or pay it. Also, Making any regulation/fee or anything to "frustrate" gun owners could also be seen as harassment.
There is no indication that the guy ever used or brandished the gun outside his home, which is where the HOA's jurisdiction would be. Like I said, the HOA can't do a damn thing about what goes on inside someone's home. If they were to try, it would fall flat the minute it gets challenged especially with Kansas being one of the states having a castle doctrine which implies the possibile use of a gun (i.e. deadly force) for defense.
The case is likely going to be about the castle doctrine and it's limits on whether someone standing on your doorstep constitutes a threat, (which it doesn't) along with trying to prove that the kid was trying to break in (this I doubt) which could justify an imminent threat.
I am in no way on the side of the old man. I actually think he was completely in the wrong (also got off way too easy) and the kid was legitimately just at the wrong house.
My opinion is the man should be evaluated for mental fitness and if unfit would be required to need a caretaker, of sorts. If no mental issues, be tried and convicted for the first degree assault (attempted homicide) charge.
The HOA however does not have any actual stake in it that I've found, as the kid was shot from behind the storm door by the old man who was inside his house.
Yes. I'm not saying that they wouldn't try to come up with bogus/farfetched regulations, but they legitimately cannot do anything about what goes on behind closed doors in someone's house. To do otherwise would be a breach in that person's right to privacy. It'd be like an HOA telling you, you have to vacuum/sweep/mop every other day, otherwise you can be fined. (or saying you can't have sex on Sundays)
HOAs do have some extralegal clout, but the right to privacy stops them from interfering in anything you do that isn't openly visible. (i.e. Doing a meatspin in front of a window facing the street can be penalized, but taking a dump in your kitchen sink can't, unless the sink is in front of a window facing the street and the blinds/curtains/shutters are open.)
And if they do, they open themselves up to a lawsuit.
But, in relation to the story. It's a gun owning, likely conservative (and MAGA'd), prejudicial old white man with nothing better to do but watch his balls sink lower and lower. Harassing him or his money with BS regulations for him having a gun in his house will just have him spend the huge amount of free time he has fighting them and likely filing a claim/s against the HOA

There are too many bad people out there and young children don't always know how to keep their info hidden. The risk is just too high. Even one out of a million kids finding one of those unsavory people, would be too much. Think about if your hypothetical child found that one child predator and they got them to share whatever, like pictures; their school/schedule; etc.
Just look at roblox, a game more or less built and intended for children. There's been quite a few reports of kids being preyed upon to which they have several lawsuits against them for giving a false sense of safety.
IIRC the biggest risk of the fluoride is it can pull calcium from the muscles in the digestive tract. With the tiny amount in drinking water, you would normally only feel an effect (like a slight cramp) if you drank too much, too quickly. Your body would be able to replace the calcium from its stores within a minute or two. If it is too uncomfortable, a simple antacid can speed it up.
If the universe is cyclic, then that would define it as a closed loop without any energy being removed or added. The very first instance of yourself traveling through time would break the loop by removing themselves from their iteration of the universe and reinsert into a future iteration. During those two points, the universe would now function with a deficit. This deficit could affect how it cycles to subsequent iterations.
What if that discrepancy in energy affects when the universe starts to contract or it's speed to the big crunch/bang and subsequently the time to, and speed of expansion. Maybe it could even prevent the big crunch from reaching critical mass, where it would normally trigger a big bang, and stop the cycle altogether.
What I did was keep an eye on my temperature and cranked my space heater in my bedroom to 80°F(~27C), wore sweats and a hoodie, drank lots of water (with some liquid IV here and there), and slept as much as I could.
Having a fever is your body adjusting its thermostat to help your immune system work better and being in a warmer environment lets it use less energy to keep up that temperature. Monitoring your temperature will let you know if it gets too high. Water and electrolytes replaces what you sweated/peed out. The increased sleep will help your body to use up even less energy, leaving it all to help your body recover faster.
I may have only had lighter symptoms which lasted about a week, but this method has helped me get completely over every other cold/flu I've gotten within a couple days.
Animal torture is really common trait in psychopathy.
The guy needs to be detained and evaluated whether he would get a prison sentence or sent to a psych ward. He, however, will probably just get 6-12mo without any evaluation and likely continue; just behind closed doors next time.
Meh, Privacy Badger does a pretty good job with most trackers. Any tracking files that do get through are deleted when my browser is closed, as I use private mode unless I have to log in somewhere.
If you don't have a ad blocker or such, you can just put "Niles Canyon Ghost" or "Niles White Witch" into any search engine and you will see a bunch of stories. (Chaplin films were made in the area, so that may have helped the stories grow)

NEW YORK (AP) — Inmates in New York are suing the state corrections department over the decision to lock down prisons during next Monday’s total solar eclipse....
They could also be taking a page (whether founded or not) from a mental ward in that they assume some inmates may try to purposely stare at the eclipse without protection. (i.e. They're fearing self-harm)
While I hope people wouldn't try this, I have no idea what really goes on inside (morale and whatnot), and am only trying to thinking of what the prison will use as their rationale.
