It's poor for the second, since the result is a gas (hard to store long term). We would want it as a solid or liquid product, which this doesn't do.

Why wouldn't the device include or feed a compressor to liquidize the CO2? It takes just a little over 5 atm of pressure which is trivial.

Lots of people don't have to pay taxes.

Exactly how does it apply? It didn't come from a "King, Prince, or foreign State". I could declare that I grant you a title, but because it isn't coming from a monarch it's meaningless and that article doesn't apply.

Don't all modern browsers allow you to disable auto-playing of video, even per-site if desired?

No misunderstanding - I get what you're saying and I disagree.

I also don't agree that expecting journalists to be accurate makes someone an asshole. If they were reporting on an automobile and wrote that the spark plugs make 500HP we could guess what they likely meant, but we'd also recognize the journalist's ignorance. They should educate themselves on their subject matter so they can do their job properly.

Aah, gotcha. I had thought that

Probably less these days

was in reference to this part at the end of the parent comment:

cars generally float around the 32 psi area

and I haven't seen anything to contradict all the previous literature on under-inflated automobile tires being worse for fuel economy.

Which part was dickish? Was it the ellipsis?

I could send you a Cease and Decist notice on my finest letterhead insisting that you stop being a stupid overreaching authoritarian. That doesn't mean a court would uphold it. C&D isn't proof of anything.

Defederation means they consume all of the data from ActivityPub, you consume none of theirs.

It's not that simple.

Their instance will be sent the data only if the post originates on an instance/community that is still federated with their instance. If a new post or comment is made in a community who's instance isn't federated with their instance, it will not be sent via ActivityPub. A more detailed explanation of how that works is in this post.

Yeah, that dude's take reads just like climate science denial and flat earth conspiracies.

as we know bandwidth is extremely expensive

No. You very obviously don't know how bandwidth is handled for large providers. They don't pay per gb, and instead have peering agreements with other networks. Google generally doesn't have to pay these other networks, as Google has the web applications that the other networks' customers expect to be able to use.

Oh, I obviously interpreted that as meaning a hard disk drive (which SSDs are still commonly referred to as HDDs) since we were discussing modern PCs. Many years ago external physical file transfer mostly transitied away from using actual spinning disks to USB storage, and even that has been mostly supplanted by network connected storage for several years.
