Something like 10-15% of US households own a boat or camper. Over 60% of cars sold today are SUVs, and a ton of those would not be great to tow a boat or decent sized camper. The vast majority of people I know who daily drive SUVs and truck

My ICE vehicles go through many more pounds of gasoline than they do tires. A set of tires is ~100lbs of material. 50,000mi of gas on a 30mpg vehicle is 10,000lbs of gas.

I just have it run CLI commands directly, usually with its own limited credentials and with me reviewing what its going to call outside of a small list of whitelisted commands. It'll then often do a good job composing things to filter

I've used agents to look at traces, stack dumps, and have used them to control things like debuggers. I've had them exec into running containers and poke around. I've had them examine metrics, look into existing logs, look at

It depends on how the flash modules are maintained and their quality, but yes having freshly written data will imply better data consistency on flash media. Flash media relies on recharging, which may or many not happen often enough.

That's a thought I hadn't had. The plastic of the disk getting so brittle it shatters in the drive due to age. I wonder what's the embrittlement profile of polycarbonate stored in reasonable condition.

I agree many Americans wouldn't have a clue if you just asked them for sambal but if you said "that spicy chili paste in the jar at Asian restaurants" they'd know exactly what you're talking about.

While similar I don't think sambal oelek and sriracha are the same. Sambal oelek is typically pretty chunky, sriracha is usually very smooth. Sambal oelek will be pretty much just vinegar, salt, and peppers while sriracha will be sweet

The overabundance is a big part of why it's just not commercially viable to do much with recycled plastic. Places will practically give away the virgin material because they have to find someplace for it to go to keep producing other

That and it's way easier to go from retooling from sour to sweet than reverse, way easier to go from heavy to light than reverse, etc. Not suggesting it's just a flip a switch kind of change, but it's usually a net reduction

It doesn't matter if you or I know it, the problem is when a vendor I'm wanting/needing to use is ignorant to the quality of their list they're using to block stuff.

IP addresses of relays are still known in the network, and IP reputation firms may flag your IP as potentially suspicious. This may or may not cause issues when dealing with orgs that filter based on "known bad IP address" lists.
