Land usage is also a huge concern with hydro power. Pumped hydro storage means permanently flooding an area to create the reservoir, which carries many above and beyond just the destruction of whatever was there before. The flooded land has vegetation on it, which is now decaying under water. This can release all sorts of unpleasantness, most notably mercury.

In fairness to requiring “excellence”, I’d imagine most professionals have excellent skills in their field compared to the average person.

They said “a cool design” and nothing at all about any logo or intellectual property. Maybe it’s a sick dragon playing a guitar.

Yes. It’s a commercial signage display, not intended for desktop use.

It’s okay, man. I saw the post you’re referencing at least.

Same setup here, two USB drives dangling from my NUC. One of them is even notably slow for a USB drive. Still not an issue at all for home use. I’d probably need a dozen or more people all watching different things on Jellyfin at the same time before it even approached being a problem.

You are correct about it allowing you to have zero health and not die, but whether or not that’s the correct behavior will depend on the game. Off the top of my head I know that Street Fighter, some versions at least, let you cling to life at zero.

No. A lack of stellar pathways to create lithium means that there isn’t a fusion chain that includes it. Recent evidence points to it being produced by particle bombardment in classical novae though, which we could in theory reproduce in particle accelerators. It would be ridiculously expensive though.

symmetric right?

I talked about this in another thread recently, but my favorites are the ones that are so lopsided that you literally can’t send back ACKs fast enough to keep up with your own download speeds when using TCP.

Even now that we’ve by and large settled on 8 bits per byte it’s still useful to call out the communication rate as distinct from the actual payload data transfer rate, as there are other sources of overhead.

You’ll never actually see a 1MB/s transfer over an 8Mbps connection because some of those bits are going to be used for things like packet headers, keep alive messages, etc.

The difference between building your own car and designing your own internal combustion engine.

Aren’t those things like the size of a fist? How long did she wash it for?!

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Or find lots of things that aren’t matches because it’s a fuzzy search with no way to search for exact text.

Speaking it out loud is a great way to remember many things.

“Keys, wallet, phone” as you get ready.

“Door’s locked” as you leave.

“Oven’s off”

Etc

I’m not sure what you mean by “disguised as a doorbell”. It’s for controlled access buildings where you need to be able to talk to the person at the door and selectively admit them.

An old one.

It made sense when everyone had landlines. Buzzer in a multi-unit building rings the phone in reach unit. Door intercom used to talk to the occupant, and usually they could control door access by hitting ‘9’ or whatever to unlock the door and admit whoever was there.

Saved the building from needing to have a separate intercom system wired to every unit, just use the phone lines that are already going to be there.

Fast forward a few decades, land lines are gone, everyone has a cell, and if more than one person lives in a unit the person with the one the door rings might be out and the person at home has no way to admit people, while the person elsewhere still has to answer door calls.

On the upside(?), it allowed us to be extremely sure that UPS was lying to us when they told us they tried to deliver and no one answered the door. Had them tell us that several times with no missed calls on the phone. :P
