Still currently in progress but most of the way complete. We’re gonna have a hard time un-fucking it at this stage.

It was just before the world got fucked by our sub prime mortgages, that might have been why, also since everyone was buying property, gold probes might have been relatively low.

And also

And they make them so tricky to repair that appliance repair people will either have to charge too much or outright refuse to work on them.

There’s plenty of paid tutorials out there. But that’s the one thing I’m happy to pay for. That and independent or small team software.

Dishwashers, the 3 most recent dishwashers that I have had experience using across 3 very different households and use levels, from 3 different manufacturers, have all had minor to major faults in the 4-5 years since installation, just after the warranty period ended.

Mostly drawer and roller related, but also a pump failure.

Which gives Russia the excuse it wants to attack and try and take more land.

Just like the lopsided cease fire in Gaza that the US “brokered” gave the IDF a bunch of excuses that they still managed to massively overreach.

Super Mario bros 1 & 3. I still have them working on my old Wii, but I’ve been planning on a retro pi setup for ages.

My OG NES stopped working a decade ago.

I hope whoever does still bring whisky to share.

Imagine how big the connector shroud would have to be to show all the features in a cable!

Incidentally the last power cable I bought to replace my failing MacBook power cable is labeled for max wattage.

Yeah I miss the days of buying a mid spec MacBook and then immediately doubling or quadrupling the ram with Corsair or similar 3rd party ram.

Getting swap memory off those old HDDs was such a performance boost. Then later adding SSDs was another huge boost.

Pretty sure there was more than one, and at least one was killed pretty quickly

Rats are already on it.

Presumably the enemy ship wouldn’t be there very long after the airframe full of munitions hit it.

The tread is just:

1. Teleportation
2. Only to random locations (no distances measured)

I’m taking that to mean a random location anywhere in the universe except the starting location. The earth is an infinitesimally small part of the universe, so most teleportations would end up in intergalactic space.

I think the odds of ending up within sight of the earth are basically 0. The universe is a big place.

Just make sure you pee first!

Modern rail is welded at each seam, it also gets work hardened, so unless you find a recently installed section, cutting it is going to be quite difficult.

Plus they monitor continuity on the rail and the trains would be alerted if there is a break.

Other obstacles on the rail would probably work, but in not sure what kinds of countermeasures the trains might have for those either.

Recharging them is far superior to replacing alkaline. All electronics with lipid should be user serviceable able as well, but for something like a game controller, AAs are not the solution, far more wasteful since you’re adding batteries to the landfill ever 40 hours, as opposed to every 5 years.

Plus if it’s rechargeable with a USB C then you can plug it in and keep playing, or just use them as corded controllers once the battery capacity has diminished if you don’t feel like repairing it.

But it’s in Finland, Texas only needs the excess heat for 3-4 months per year, Arizona even less so.

Arizona has a lot more potential for solar though.

None of this excuses the wasting of water, closed loops and compressed coolants should be able to do it, but won’t be as cheap or energy efficient, so nobody will do it without regulations that force it. That’s what we really need. If we ever have a functioning government again.
