You forget that regulation exists. That is the only other option to reduce manufacturing of stuff like this. Relying on the “free” market is usually a bad idea, because in this world there isn’t really anything like a free market. Every market is disproportionately influenced by the people who benefit from the status quo.

I mean, free usually implies a shittier version, no? So it could very well just be incomplete.

Funnily enough I heard mechanic friends say that EVs need the brake rotors replaced more often than combustion cars, because the EVs use the brakes so infrequently that the rotor just rusts so badly it needs replacing.

That’s still super low cost compared to all the regular repairs a combustion engine needs, especially when you consider that combustion cars also need tire replacements, just a bit less often

Apparently it’s the Bag O Nails pub on St George Road, according ti another comment

You’re looking at the wrong numbers. Most people won’t notice the difference in transfer speeds for large files. Most people will notice boot and loading times, where the results are diminishing.

Let’s take a theoretical system that has an HDD and boots in around 30 seconds.

It gets upgraded with an SSD. According to your numbers, the Boot time would be better by a factor of around 3 or maybe 4, making the Boot only take around 10 seconds. That’s a difference of 20 seconds, clearly noticeable.

Now it gets upgraded to an nvme drive. The speed increases by an even greater factor of around 7 or so, but you barely notice that because the PC only boots 7 seconds or so faster, much less noticeable than the 20 second difference before, despite the drives being blazing fast in comparison.

I’m not saying nvmes are worthless or anything. Just that in day to day use for most people its not as noticeable as the HDD to SSD upgrade.

But the jump from SATA SSD to nvme is much less noticeable than the one from HDD to SATA SSD

Cooking doesn’t usually go much higher than 200 - 250C (400 - 500F). Cigarettes (and I assume joints similarly) reach 900C (1650F) when puffing. I’m not sure at which point aluminum produces fumes, but I dont think the cooking argument holds up.

Ice had the experience that toothpicks break too easily to clean my grinder, especially what’s in the little gap between the lid and the outside of the grinding chamber if that makes sense. But glad it works for you!

I also removed my kief tray once I started earning enough to never really run out lol

But I’d rather have steel than aluminum in my weed. Aluminum oxide fumes are carcinogenic when inhaled, so I’d rather avoid it.

I realize worrying about cancer when talking about smoking is ironic, but still.

Ive never bathed by grinder in isopropyl in 6+ years and it still grinds like new every time I clean it with my pocket knife. But I did get a steel grinder to make sure I can scrape all I want without getting aluminum in my weed

she had taken about 12 sample bites from a package of toilet paper. She stopped doing that.

I have to keep my bathroom door closed because mine loves to tear up toilet paper rolls lol

Mostly, yeah

Elon musk fanboys I guess

I once had a racing condition that got tipped over by the debugger. So similar behavior to what’s in the meme, but the code started working once I put in the print calls as well. I think I ended up just leaving the print calls, because I suck at async programming

I mean I get that med students need to learn somehow but I feel like after one failed attempt a real doctor should do the job. Or like, build devices that allow to practice without causing harm to a person. Wtf

Sorry, what? You drill into your sinus cavity? What does that mean?

I like the way you think.

Yeah, tabs are larger spaces, what’s your point?

/s

You may be right, but I still have an unreasonable hate for tabs in code
