They already made it - called the Apple TV. They should make a $200-$400 mini PC with no fans. You can choose tvOS or macOS, and either way it makes an awesome gaming console with 4 forward usb-c ports. They’ve done alright with mobile gaming and they could really make a dent in the console market if they tried. Aside from that it would be a great home server or even a desktop PC.
In early engineering storm water was a problem that you want to drain as quickly as possible - so the solution was to pave everything including the creeks. Through many urban floods it has been recognized that infiltration into soil is the best solution for pollutants, flooding, and groundwater recharge. But we still have millions of acres of hardscape that needs to be re-designed to soak into the ground and only overflow if necessary.
But that said a lot of cocaine could enter natural waters directly by being illegally trafficked in boats, drones, or planes that crash. The real problem here is the war on drugs - cocaine was once available at every corner drug store. No illegal trafficking, no pollution.
I think it’s made me more flexible with time in general. But yeah stoplights and traffic matter more than how you drive. It’s futile to think you can go any faster, just enjoy the ride.
About 15 years ago I decided not to be in a hurry when I’m driving, and also to not get frustrated with any other drivers. I just figured I’m gonna be spending too much time of my life in a car I might as well not be getting upset about it. For aggressive drivers I make up a story about how they have explosive diarrhea or something else urgent to attend to. It has made a profound and permanent improvement to my life. Would recommend to a friend.
I’m very picky in the sense that I want to enjoy a whole album, or multiple albums from one artist. I don’t care about singles. I love finding new artists but it’s exhausting to search. Most recent search netted me The Cat Empire and alt-J, but this was back in 2018 or so. Usually when I want new music I can just get new albums from artists I already like. Then, every once in a while I’m sorely disappointed like when Arctic Monkeys decided they’re an elevator rock band (2018).
Cmon at least tell me what it’s filled with. Balsa wood? Cork?
Probably 2 or 3 at most
It started in 1971 and it’s still running its course. So, look around I guess. If we don’t do anything in another 20 years it won’t be possible to own a home for anybody. We will all be severely restricted on what we can eat and how we can travel. Everything you buy will be disposable garbage that makes you sick and needs replacement often.
I host video streaming for personal use and gigabit doesn’t even flinch.
The only use for such speeds in the home is offloading all your data and computing to cloud services. Yay? Symmetrical gigabit is already about 5 times faster than I would ever need. Most people are too lazy to even run a LAN cable to get better than 150-300 mbps.
Wanting grapes is an intrusive thought. Your body and the gut biomes are creating that thought (with the threat of discomfort), and putting it in your brain. Your thoughts are not you. You react to them.
The news article should be free to read. After all it’s only text and it was written to be read. Ads greatly detract from the whole experience.
My proposal for a new model of news would be to be able to create an account for a one time fee of $5, which allows you to comment on articles for $0.25 per comment. Users who are logged in are also allowed to tip articles they enjoy, with proceeds going at least 50% to the author. Another option would be to hide or blur all images on articles unless the user pays $0.25. I think this model could make money, and allow customers to pay as you go and support the content they want more of. A regular subscription is a blank check for them to publish anything.
They probably had internet in Atlantis, or something like it, so that would be a shutdown of like 20,000 years or so before it was invented again.
Disconnect your TV from the internet and don’t let it update (downgrade) your software.
Judge not, before you judge yourself.
I think of toads and newts as being more terrestrial, while frogs and salamanders are more aquatic. Obviously they’re all amphibious, but frogs and salamanders like to keep their skin wet, but I’ve seen totally dry and dusty toads.
Functions are somewhat useful in VBA although learning LAMBDA in cell formulas (and named ranges) would probably serve you better at this time.
So instead I would say focus on writing a Sub. The one I used for myself students was to turn the current selection into a checkerboard by resizing column width to 2 and coloring every other square black (or any color).
