Such is the miracle of sufficiently trained autoencoders

To fix tunnelled candles, maybe try wrapping them in foil to help heat the outer edges and level them out

I heard 10 number addresses can be fairly cheap but I'd check renewal fees

I thought theory was a fire/smoke leaking /explosion inside the tent caused by the homemade stove leading to them cutting their way out and running, and then getting separated and lost in the confusion, before succumbing to hypothermia

There are a number of factors involved. Each phone will support a number of protocols and charging speeds, as will the charger. The two devices will typically perform a handshake to negotiate a charging speed before charging begins. This is what allows the voltage to be adjusted, for example to 9/12/24V rather than the 5V default. Then you have to consider the maximum power to be delivered. Some devices might negotiate a higher power, which at the same voltage will result in slower charging.

Tldr on voltage vs power vs current: power = voltage * current. You want to minimize current in the long wires and connectors/ contacts where there is high resistance because resistance causes power loss, so you use higher voltage until it reaches the end device before dropping it back down.

If the Android device negotiated 18W and the apple device 25W for example (idk what apple does) then the apple device will charge faster. Also, if the apple device has a smaller battery, it will charge faster. You may be able to get faster charging with a different combination of port/cable, charger, or settings on the Android device. For example, I restrict my phone to charge to at most 85% and slow charge because it keeps the battery from degrading as quickly, so I can still use my phone in several year's time without having to recharge it every few hours.

Many of these types of ideas are to use an easily compostable material and mix it into the plastics as a filler or add tons of binders. The most common 3d printing plastic PLA, is technically biodegradable but will only undergo sufficiently rapid degradation in industrial composters which have elevated temperatures. I was investigating using cellulose acetate based filament but it seems there are still quite a few issues with what I was able to find in the literature (low flexibility and brittle, additives can interfere with biodegradability). Some proposed methods use other plastics that seem to respond well when mixed with cellulose and the same plasticizers but I haven't seen much other literature focusing on making cellulose based (as the main polymer, not as an additive) filament (not printed dissolved in a solvent as a gel and then dried).

As for this method, if using binders that are easily and cheaply made, and are biodegradable, then I see no issue other than needing to use specialized printers. TBH I wouldn't mind prints which can't withstand being dipped in water because most prints probably aren't being wetted anyways.

Oh man the FreeCAD discussion

I also use fusion and while FreeCAD has improved significantly, it's still lacking in critical areas

The replies are always "but it's gotten better"

Yeah, and it still pops up and error and wrests control away if you dare select a dimension tool and points/lines in the "wrong" order
