“You and what army?”

Saved you a click: It’s china. Everyone would’ve believed it.

In 2008, I was fed up with a combination of wage slavery and freelancing, so I started looking around for a proper career. I found a job posting on monster.com for something called “seismic survey technician”. I was severely underqualified and I had no idea what it was, but it involved computery stuff with and emphasis on Linux and other unix systems, in addition to international travel which sounded interesting, so I sent in my application out of curiosity.

I ended up getting the job, turns out dicking around with Slackware and FreeBSD for 10 years was actually useful. Over the years since then I’ve carved out a pretty comfy niche in the industry.

Will keep that in mind, thank you

Nine Inch Nails - Closer

Hoobastank - Inside of You

Blood Hound Gang - The Bad Touch

Blood Hound Gang - The Ballad of Chasey Lain

Jimmi Hendrix - Crosstown Traffic

…off the top of my head

Fun Fact: Jimi Hendrix - Fire is, contrary to popular belief, not about this topic. The lyrics are quite literal in nature, telling the story about how he was visiting his band mate’s mothers house on new years eve and he was cold as fuck. The “Move over, rover, let Jimi take over”-line is because there was a German Sheperd in front if the fireplace.

Is db0 tankie-oriented?

I find that it depends on the context. If it’s side view only it’s essentially 2D in which case Y is up.

For anything where you get a proper 3D view, Z is up.

40% of China’s mineral resources are in Tibet. I’m sure that had nothing to do with it.

I stick to known vendors, brands, and shipment agents.

Doubt it. No age gap or superheroes involved.

Yes, but in Norwegian. -March.

Go away, Robert.

Same. My old doctor recommended daily vit D supplements in months that end with R. Regular store bought dosage is strong enough to actually do something if taken daily, but weak enough that it won’t harm you if you’re not deficient.

A box of 5x50 (metric) wood screws. Not because of black friday, but because I had ran out.

They probably haven’t unlocked enough of the tech tree yet for those.

You can’t just mix and match battery chemistry and call one superior. If you could, they’d all be inferior to a nuclear reactor in the right packaging anyway. But since you absolutely have to be pedantic about it, I’ll make this revision specially for you with emphasis in the right place:

Primary cells hold much more charge than an equivalent rechargeable battery with the same battery chemistry.

And you can’t just allow for different voltage ranges without all the electronics also being adjusted for that.

No. Primary cells are easy and cheap to manufacture, and hold much more charge than rechargeable equivalents.

And so much of everyday tech is already built around the form factor and voltage. You cannot change one without also changing the other. While I’m sure some battery sizes will go away with time, as some already have (Type B, anyone?), I’m willing to bet AA batteries will still be around in some form 100 years from now. Internals might change a little, and capacity might increase, but we’re still going to see 1.5V packed into those dimensions.
