Wow, literal victim blaming. Impressive.

Memmy: thumbnail, yes; loads in post, yes; loop, yes.

Not sure it’s technically a thumbnail since it looks the same, but it does load, display, and loop at the main scrolling view.

No there’s only ever one answer and it’s “have you tried ‘sfc /scannow’?” But it never works, even if it finds an alleged problem.

Audio is also impossible to edit/correct. You’d have to re-record the whole thing (or embed an audio editing suite in the IDE). And also make sure only one person recorded the comments (for a consistent voice).

AI generated text to speech would be far better than this.

Even with food, potash is mined for fertilizer to grow food. Not as direct but still applies.

I’m curious, is lithium mining any worse for the environment than any other mining? If so, why is that?

Because it seems to me that all mining is terrible for the environment, and there’s no reason that I know to complain about lithium over gold or oil or coal.

It’s not the cargo trains that make the system worse, it’s the prioritization of cargo over passenger rail along with lack of investment. If they spent even half the money on rail that they do on automobile roads we’d have one hell of a good rail system.

The highway system costs 200-400 billion dollars a year split between state and federal government.

Meanwhile Amtrak gets about 1.5 billion dollars from the federal government.

I say we go all the way and use even smaller numbers of extremely large trucks, and put them on specialized roads made out of two metal rails. I bet the efficiency of these “rail roads” would be far far superior!

So what computer does not meet that definition then? They all “supply their own power” under that definition.

I’m assuming they have that criterion to distinguish from RFID-type power sources where the signal also supplies power, but I’m sure there’s some conversion of power types in that instance too.
