LLM's are pretty good at creating TLDR's Not that you should outsource all of your knowledge to that kinda thing, just that... in this case it'd probably be just fine.

"Legal Weed" is a funny thing, because I know exactly zero people who live in legal states that buy it legally. They all have some kind of hookup that's much cheaper than any legal option. I will say though, it's legal w

It's a great way to create layoffs without having to spook investors by laying people off.

The issue is, if you want to make an EV cheap enough to sit in the Civic/Carolla market, it still ends up being useless for most people because you can't afford to equip it with a large battery. Not to mention the only way an EV m

write 0001, read and confirm, repeat until drive is full. For a fake drive, it'll take awhile, because the underlying storage is much, much slower than it should be, often usb2 speeds. Realistically, this is just a test that satisfies

I mean, it depends. It's mostly dangerous to kids, because it's detrimental to brain development. Not exactly vitamins for anyone though. Also something to remember about ingestion is that, lead only forms salts in acidic environm

Depends, how much solder did you eat? In all seriousness, very little. I would personally want more than just a bathroom fan to do fume evacuation. Outside on a patio/balcony is my usual spot. I also have a 120mm computer fan that I ha

Samsung still makes the x-cover series of phones. They're usually used in commercial applications, but, you can find them sold unlocked pretty easily. And they offer a little charging dock with pogo pins, so, no wearing out the USBC po

Sure sure, and I lose the ability to keep a phone going 6+ years because the battery is glued into the case. So I'm making 3x the e-waste for... really nothing honestly. In terms of power banks, I'm currently hoarding my friend&#x

I wouldn't want to backpack with it to be honest. In my car? Sure, why not have a cooler sized battery with some solar panels, perfect solution really. Also never had trouble flying with batteries. They're always in a ziplock and

I have little battery dock things, really dumb devices, but, USBC goes in, battery docks in, and it slow charges in about 8 hours. I've got 3 of them. Also if you're talking about the world being dark for 3 years, not sure batteri

You missed the user bit of what you're replying to. There are android phones that have this ability, I have one. New batteries are ~20 bucks, and they take about 5 minutes to swap, most of which is shutdown/boot time. I can take

Go ahead and type that search query into google and see what happens. Also the alt-right is a giant threat, if you categorize everyone right of you as alt-right, which seems to be the standard definition. That's not how I've chose

search: site:4chan.org news.ycombinator.com Seems pretty sparse to me, and from a casual perusal, I haven't seen any actual calls to raiding anything here, it's more of a reference where articles/posts have happened, and peop

(1) 4chin is too dumb to use HN, and there's no image posting so, I doubt they'd even be interested in raiding us (2) I've never seen anything illegal here, I'm sure it happens, and it gets dealt with quickly enough that

Somebody does, but it's a private company, so, private books, so the general public doesn't know. You can do some napkin math and guess that their flights for NASA are profitable, along with all the other commercial work they do.

>it still takes 30 years to build. Objectively false. Average global nuclear power plant construction time is somewhere around 7 years. Some get delayed significantly, some are done in 3 years, but it averages out shorter than you think.

Most of that time he was in a series of caves located in a fairly apathetic nuclear power's boarders. He was also trained and equipped by the CIA. So, if you're willing to live in caves where they can't easily search for you

There's no state actor that any of that would protect against. You, and everyone else, is already compromised at a level so deep there is no hope of digging out if that is your adversary. What these technologies protect is market share

Understand that, costs aren't linear for these sorts of things. Once you have the concrete plant, and are renting cranes, deploying a ton of falsework, etc, adding another level or two isn't as insane as it sounds. The big thing i

"carding" is also colloquially used to refer to people involved in credit card fraud online. Just FYI in case you get weird looks when you say that.
