  I wouldn’t say that data is definitive proof. The table is missing ages from 30-under 65 from the table (at least if you’re not logged in, if there is a more complete table please share). Also not sure how good some of the questions are for determining tech literacy. Knowing that Elon Musk ran both Tesla and Twitter in April 2023 is more if you keep up with the news rather than knowing how to work a computer. Other ones are good like being able to identify 2FA or knowing what LLM/AI is capable of.

  The beep multimeters make when in continuity mode. It is a way to test that 2 points are electrically connected with little/no resistance. If they are connected the multimeter will emit a continuous beep. If there is no beep than either the components aren’t connected or there is a resistor or something else preventing the connection. The amount is resistance required to prevent a connection (measured in ohms) tends to be possible to set on the multimeter

  It’s almost like there’s more acceptance that mental health is real health, but no it’s the evil checks notes sunscreen that’s making me sad. Not the existential nightmare that life currently is, not the constant feed of negative news that’s coming from the computer that is basically another appendage. Correlation != Causation. Could it be a contributing factor? Yeah probably, feeling the sun on your face does lift my mood, but I can point to countless other causes that are way more relevant. If you really want to figure out the causes, go see a therapist, they’re great at helping out your feelings into words you can actually act upon. When if you don’t have anything you’re trying to figure out about yourself, go see a therapist, it’s like getting a yearly physical just check in to make sure there’s nothing wrong.

  And you have summed up why I block those communities. There are surely cases of people abusing power, but a majority of it is just people wanting to stir up snit

  Why not use “e.g.” in that case?

  Is this a battery made out of a specific form of carbon encased in yet another specific form of carbon? If so carbon needs to take a break and let the other elements have some fun.
