My general experience as pedestrian is that while commercial vehicle drivers speed, they seem focused and give a wide berth when passing, whereas regular drivers often explore their sociopathic tendencies when passing.

Seems like a good approach but beware "any issue" that's really a decoy filed by applicants aware of your hiring process. Unlikely yes, but worth considering, if only to appreciate the initiative behind such ruse.

Trees can be planted a lot easier than you probably think (e.g. cuttings from existing trees). Trees grow best in established forests or areas with shrubby growth, as this indicates the soil is generally more fungal than bacterial, which tr

Sadly, I can’t measure [power consumption] as my power meter is dead. Would be nice to see those measurements, as RPi 4's idle consumption (initial reports of ~3 watts) is quite poor compared to RPi 2B and 3B's ~1 watt.

Yes, Die Glocke / the bell has been embellished beyond all recognition of whatever it really was. I bear some guilt with my comment above; it would have been more appropriate to suggest that the bell's mysticism may have inspired

It never hurts to wonder. If we assume the Tic Tac is a man made craft, it doesn't seem a far stretch to also assume it may employ antigravitics. Perhaps it can be traced back to Die Glocke [1]. Your linked HN posts also mention Hutchi

Looks to be around $1.5-3k USD in his setup photos, likely less if he's using some used/surplus equipment, which is quite possible. Stainless fittings and tubing are surprisingly affordable. About $250 for the Deuterium. Edit: sib
