Most places that we're going to talk about have an electrical code as part of the building code. Is electrical wiring structural?

Rough 2x4s were 2" x 4". Then we started finishing them for better consistency, taking about 0.5" from each dimension. Later we started using saws with narrower kerfs to have less loss due to saw blade width, better cutting and planing systems so the rough size could be smaller and still have the same finished size, then they lowered finished size some more.

Yeah, there's friction, just like there is friction from walking on marble steps, such as those in the Tower of Pisa. But since they are mostly moving with the object on top of them, wear is reduced. In the end, the little wheels will be working in concert to move whatever object is on them in a given direction, but they are round and so will have a bit of drift in short order, which is managed by putting the wheels at angles so only a portion of one side is touching the object. They are likely made of a moderate friction substance with high durability and are probably replaceable, just like the tires on your car.

Yeah, it's really a question of time or money for me. Whichever I have enough of first will decide which option I go with first. I don't expect I'll be buying Windows again.

Yeah, I've tried a few times before and got stumped with various configuration issues. I actually have a saved post where gaming-specific distros are discussed in the hoped of getting past those issues. Now the big question is time or money. Depending which I have enough of first will determine which one happens first.

Due to changes in my life and career, the only reason I'm stuck on Windows is gaming. I'm not sure which will happen first, buying a Steam Deck or converting my computer to Linux for gaming, but at least one of those will happen before I upgrade to 11.

Then I'll go to the basics. This which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. You made your assertion, I provided evidence. You dismissed it with "Well, everybody knows." And yet, new discoveries are made all the time, research continues apace, and technology advances. Believe what you will. Your faith, or mine, makes no difference.

Edit: I'm so sorry, I forgot to read a little further for you in my search the first time. Nissan is building a factory and plans on having their first batteries produced in 2025. That's just one article I saw about it, there were others. My apologies if you find this triggering, as well.

Yeah, I'm really sick of the hype train, so that was the only info I looked for. Honestly, I was a little surprised it was that easy to find, and that is still no guarantee it's accurate.

Me, too, man. Saying the same thing so many times.

Sorry, I forgot that some people say quaint little phrases like "never heard about them again" to mean "still haven't seen a product released to market." I also don't live in a world where companies start multi-billion dollar partnerships with no belief that the corporations will get a return on that investment.

That was sarcasm.
