Then that someone can kill me.

It would be a much better world with a bounty on the head of anyone worth more than a billion dollars. Pay your employees more, charge your customers less, divest your ownership interests. Buy more products and services from the market, rather than lending to it.

I’ve warrantied two fridges in their first year for failed VFDs. So, yes, I’ll say that quite a few don’t last a year. And I’d wager most of those 1940’s fridges were still working when they were discarded, just obsolete in 1950’s kitchens.

Thousands of refrigerators bought in 2022 are already in landfills.

Notepad was getting usage, even if Word was installed, specifically because Notepad doesn’t have all the bullshit needed for a word processor. It is a text editor. It is for editing text files. Text files that probably contain machine-readable program configuration data with arguments that are now going to be flagged by spellcheck, and probably changed by autocorrect from the term the program is expecting to something that it can’t understand.

The people who use notepad need it to not have these “features”. These “features” make wordpad less useful for the people who use it.

It’s a standalone “smart”.

If your old TV or computer monitor lacks a “smart”, a Roku stick is one of the cheaper ways to acquire it.

30%? You’re overestimating the lifetime of modern appliances.

The refrigerator my grandfather bought in the 1940s has outlived 7 others purchased later, and the old man himself. It’s still chugging along in the basement of their house, 80-some years after it was built.

Challenging a stereotype is going to earn the “woke” label, so there isn’t a simple numerical answer. An all-black cast might not be considered “woke” if all the characters promote the stereotype.

Ideally, the answer to your question would be approximately zero. You should wear the “woke” epithet as a badge of honor.

My first thought (which probably isn’t the best method, but I’ve done similar before) is an Arduino between the mouse and the system. The Arduino normally just passes the mouse commands to the system, but it listens for the button and blocks movement if it sees the button press.

Because it’s all done in hardware, this method would be system-agnostic. You could plug it into anything.

I used a Teensy 3.6 for a similar project.

Women have enough problems with unwanted male interaction, not to mention so many lies about women’s anatomy. This makes it so much worse.

In this hypothetical, men switch from having a sexual interest in women 52/52 weeks a year to 4/52 weeks a year. I would expect a >92% reduction in “unwanted male interaction”.

I’ll take the entrails of a priest.

Convince Biden to drop out of the race about a week before the Democratic National Convention, citing health reasons, and name a millennial candidate who grew up on a farm with wind turbines and solar panels, before enlisting for 2+ terms, and moving to a middle-class area of a blue state after separating. Turn the convention into a media frenzy, energizing the Democratic base.

Undercuts Trump among rural Americans and veterans. Reverses all of Trump’s old and senile attacks against Biden, as he suddenly becomes the geriatric candidate. Keeps all of Biden’s supporters, while stepping away from the “genocide” criticism.

Basically, if Biden backs out a week before the convention and names someone in their 40’s, they can run on a platform of “Ok, boomer” and reach 270.

Is there anything you have done for which, if I had done the same actions, I would be irredeemable?

Is there anything that you have done, for which if I had done, you would expect me to jump into the volcano?

Feel free to judge yourself just a tiny bit more harshly than you would judge others. But only slightly. Give yourself as much of a break as you would give me after expressing remorse for my actions.

A $4 tip plus $2 from the service nets me $6. I average 3 to 5 deliveries per hour, grossing $18 to $30 total. Minus $3 to $5 in expenses, and I’m earning $13 to $27/hr on that. Not great, but not terrible.

That was uncalled for.

I imagine we’ll synthesize whatever chemical is inhibiting the methane production and it’ll become a standard feed supplement.

Hopefully, it can be produced by some type of GMO grass and can be sown into hay fields.

In my area, I would not feel insulted by a $4 tip for a ~2-mile delivery.

The hotter it gets, the thicker the oxide layer form

This is accurate enough for tempering of most cutting tools, but technically, the oxide layer will continue to grow if you hold a lower temperature for a longer than normal time, and might not fully develop if you reach a higher temperature for a shorter than normal period of time.

This property useful if you are trying to develop a specific color rather than achieve a specific metallurgy. You can heat to a lower temperature for a longer time to develop a deeper, more consistent color.

In my experience, it’s easier to develop colors with an oven or propane torch rather than a forge or acetylene.
