People don't give precise percentages though when surveyed. They might round to typical fractions like 1/4, 1/3, or they might round to 10 or 20 percent.

Nobody is saying "hmm, I estimate that it would be approximately 37 percent".

Of course the wisdom of the crowd does wonders for smoothing those coarse estimates, but still, if the crowd is +/- 10 of the real percentage value, I'd say they're pretty much on the money.

Anyway, Poland, wtf.

The depth of the water was about the height of the wheels. Which I'm guessing is past 400mm.

Hm. Better check your diff/transfer case oils just in case before things get expensive. Outlanders don't have high mounted diff breathers so you might have got some water in there.

"I have no mouth and I must scream" could end up being a plausible way to spend eternity.

"ChatGPT, write a letter to the community that says I am looking after this issue with untrusted BLOBs but do not be specific about anything."

Dammit now I have to reduce the block size of my discord-based cold storage filesystem.

Immediately switches to google play to turn off auto update for Nova Launcher

1. Replace CMOS battery.
2. Get small UPS.
3. Discover that small UPS's fail regularly, usually with cooked batteries.
4. Add maintenance routine for UPS battery.
5. Begin to wonder if this is really worth it when the rest of the house has no power during an outage.
6. Get small generator.
7. Discover that small generators also need maintenance and exercise.
8. Decide to get a whole house battery backup a-la Tesla Powerwall topped off by solar and a dedicated generator.
9. Spend 15 years paying this off while wondering if the payback was really worth it, because you can count on one hand the number of extended power outages in that time.
10. In the end times a roving band of thugs comes around and kills you and strips your house of valuable technology, leaving your homelab setup behind and - sadly - without power. Your dream of unlimited availability has all been for nought.

Conclusion: just replace the CMOS battery on a yearly basis during planned system downtime.

"Outdated", or "impossible"?

This appears to be more the angle of the person being fed an endless stream of hate on social media and thus becoming radicalised.

What causes them to be fed an endless stream of hate? Algorithms. Who provides those algorithms? Social media companies. Why do they do this? To maintain engagement with their sites so they can make money via advertising.

And so here we are, with sites that see you viewed 65 percent of a stream showing an angry mob, therefore you would like to see more angry mobs in your feed. Is it any wonder that shit like this happens?

Send them a letter via registered mail stating that upon receipt of said letter they waive their right to waive your rights.

when you can help people live in discord.

That live support is super handy when you're 8 timezones apart from the maintainers.

• Hey there, how do I get this thing to compile?

• Ok just need to make sure you have this list of prerequisites installed and then we can walk you through the compilation process.

• Nevermind, I built and installed another project.

Battery chemistry produces fixed voltages depending on what you use. It depends on where the active components sit on the electronegativity table.

The typical ones are:

Zinc-carbon and alkaline - 1.5 volts per cell.

Lead acid - 2 volts

Nickel Cadmium - 1.2 volts

Nickel Metal Hydride - 1.4 ish.

All the Lithium ion combos - 3.4 to 3.7 volts.
