Forums are gonna get really quiet if that's what everybody does. (ChatGPT was massively more helpful than you. Not quite sure if that's great for mankind or not.)

Dude. I don't know how what I asked and what you interpreted got so far apart, and yet I'm compelled to respond. I've been in IT for more than 30 years. I've worked hands-on hardware for the first 20 of them. There'

This topic (my only one) was a question asking what a current datacenter looks like. Things like Elon getting called out because there are more generators in his Memphis datacenter than he was permitted for make me thing they're not us

Not me, but it must be a question of interest, I can check the other thread. After checking: This is entirely unrelated.

We have pantry moths in the house (came in from the bird food)...is there anything similar for them? We use pheremone traps, but that's pretty late in the lifecycle and not 100%

I'm talking about ramps to public buildings and handicap accessible bathrooms. It's a public good that most people don't realize they're actually going to use at some point. Everybody drives the same roads ("Why wou

Do you honestly think (being mean to perps at their place of work, church, or while voluntarily attending a court case) needs to be written down? %waving hands at everything% This is the hill you want to (literally or figuratively) die on?

I know the podcast is now two weeks old, but the segment was new to me and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. Writing of R&D Costs seems like a great way to maintain a competitive lead on a global scale...and a TON of IT is

Stockholders are all about the after-sale subscription model. The convenience outweighs the cost at this point. I'm not proud about it.

You'd be surprised. I don't like the lock in, but it sure makes running a partial load easy (which, yeah, blows the dollar cost ratio even more.) Enclosing the dishwasher keeps the internals dust free... It was awhile before I not

In covid had a whirlpool dishwasher that lasted less than 3 years (4 subsystems failing all at the same time)...it was either wait 2-X months for the Miele we wanted, or pay twice as much to have it today. ($2k vs $1k) I'm uncomfortabl

Quite possibly. The procedure they performed on me is already in at least the 3rd major iteration. Originally they'd replace the vein with cadaver veins...then they used wires to...ahem...catch and rip out the old vein. They used a cat

There's something like 6 one way valves that let your heart pump the blood out of your leg a little bit at a time. When they wear out, there's not enough pumping action at times to replace the blood as often as necessary. (also, t

Our conversations amongst ourselves turn to our ailments. The bell curve of people that pass before you do starts to accelerate. My skin, with the help of the sun, has twice tried to -KILL- me. But the biggie were the veins in my legs. The

The people that want the manufacturing back don't live downwind of the pollution and can't hear the robots screwing together the widgets. They're hanging out in the Hamptons.

Not being at all qualified to comment (though I work for a power company), I'd think the hand crank air compressor wouldn't suffer from no spark or bad gas.

It's a complex enough issue that you can't really 'hand wavey' it. The details are specific and thorny.

Makes me wonder if this is what we'll have to look forward to when there aren't enough youngsters to take care of us in our retirement. (This is meant as a humorous statement...with just a pause to indicate it's not completel

I sleep 5-6 hours a night. I also seem to be bi-phasic...on the weekends if I wake up after 5 hours, hang around for an hour and successfully go back to sleep, the second cycle is the sleep of the dead. Like, I don't move. Wake up with
