A lot of people learn this lesson sadly. It isn't "sexy" to brag that you have a gold / platinum rated high quality PSU. People would rather add a "Ti" or a "10" to their graphics card and then lose it all when it goes. Same reason why I have an UPS for home PC - sure, overvoltage, undervoltage, electrical noise probably won't harm the PC. But why risk it? Also having a battery to save your shit, or buy more electricity online when you run out on a prepaid meter is cool (speaking from experience, happened to me like 10 times already lol)

And then two years down the line you lose all the data - the pictures, the savegames, the porn collection. Drives are the one thing that shouldn't be bought used

Would love to live in a world which is as black and white as you think it is. Germans "recruited" from countries they conquered en masse. You got an option to serve or have you and your family be killed. Thinking "500 thousand people, all nazis" is plain wrong. Thinking "all of those that died in gulags past WW2 are nazis" is plain wrong. Especially with the war starting in 39' with the Nazi - Soviet invasion of Poland and the following elimination of anyone who was in any position of opposing the soviets.

Would / could it get you into trouble if a boss looked over your shoulder and saw you reading it? If yes, it's NSFW.

I use Night Owl. It has a setting for time, but not battery level. You can set it between 0 - 100%, but 100 isn't "completely black". It defaults the brightness to minimum for the phone when it is on and goes further.

They won't be able to the second someone reports them and a spotlight is put onto them. It does apply. Devs just don't give a shit and admins are hosting what's available.

It's slightly above the wound (2 inch) not highest up. Also never on a joint. One tourniquet might not stop the bleed, then you need to place another one higher than the previous one.

Maybe there is something, but tbh why bother when virgin pellets are better. The best plastic recycling strategy is to not make it in the first place. Or just use other types of packaging - alu cans, glass bottles, paper containers, whatever.

Also additives soak water like crazy. Moisture is a huge problem when making parts - you need to dry some types of plastic pellets in industrial dryers, which eats up a ton of electricity - since they are often running off of compressed air out of a compressor. Most plastic comes in natural colors to which you add additives to change to the color you want. Simply doing that (2% by weight) is a difference between not having to dry at all (since some plastics just don't absorb water - i.e. polyolefins - which high density variant is what bottles for shower gel, shampoos are made of) and having to dry it for like 6 hours before use.

It's because you can't recycle plastic really. Each time you heat it up to melt it it loses its properties. A recyclable material is for instance aluminium, which keeps on being awesome. I tried various recycled plastics for a business I run, none of it was strong enough. Recycled lego, recycled car bumpers, nada. And then the question is - why would I buy the recycled plastic that doesn't work when it's like 30 cents cheaper. Pellets are so cheap in fact, that I could buy a tonne, use up 100kgs, throw the rest away and still be fine.

Because it is a shit take. Thank you, good night.

It's not "just an innocent joke". It's demeaning and ruining her greatest achievement in life by being shit colleauges. It immediately sets the relation between her and other astronauts and basically tells her that her only worth is cooking. If you don't see anything wrong with that, or you want to go "is just a joke why u serioooous loool we jokiiiing" then I can't help you.
