- Comment on Couldn't big-tech shut out non-monopoly laws by saying that it's meant to be like that on "their" product? 1 day ago:
laws; telling a maker to make the product in a specific way, eliminating creative freedom?
Do you think we need no laws at all anymore?
Well, every law limits somebody’s freedom, somehow. That’s nothing special at all.

- Comment on Is there anything I can do to decrease the gap in my blinds? 2 days ago:
Purchase one, not two sets.
The two will always need a tiny little space between them in order to move independently.
Or place a vertical beam behind the gap :)

40 cores of Xeon E5-2680
So there are your power whores. TDP 4 x 115 W. But they are old and very poor…
my load average is less than 1
… because nobody ever comes to visit them. Kindly give them the boot.
my knowledge of desktop technology
No worries. You don’t need to go that far :) At least don’t touch things that have “Gaming” as their firstname. Just look for some (nearly) modern CPU(s) because they are so much more power efficient, and spend some hours at www.cpubenchmark.net
An example from the other end: my current server runs an Intel G4560T (35W). My next server will get 1 or 2 Ryzen 5825U’s (15W each).

Feels like there are tons of cultural differences involved. Maybe you are not aware of them?
Cultural differences are usually not changeable. I mean, you cannot change all people at once, obviously. Most times you cannot even change that one special person.
You can only be open to accept that one specific person as they are. And you need to talk about these things more, and much more explicitly, than about some other general topics.
Don’t know if this is helpful, but I must admit that I don’t know the Indian or Japanese cultures enough to really answer your questions.
- Comment on What would you do if your gym trainer is 5 minutes late? 3 days ago:
Assuming each time has cost you 15 minutes effectively, that makes a total of 45 min by now (1 hour after rounding).
Write a nice formal complaint letter to the company.

Concertina.
That’s the perfect instrument for quick learning and then playing some complete music, not just a tiny part of it.
Needs no theory before starting, and you never look for the perfect tune. Only thing to really learn and practise is the coordination of both hands, and then for many songs you need only 4-5 buttons on both sides.
Unlike the piano or accordion, the variant with the round buttons has all the harmonies prepared for you.

Hopefully you are free not to live there…

everything else we’ve used so far (nearly all Lithium based).
We have used water before lithium, and it isn’t bad at all.
- Comment on FBI uses facial recognition technology, online photos to identify and arrest ICE Portland protester 1 week ago:
Buy 10 rubber masks that resemble your own face. Wear one, sometimes. Make sure all your friends know that! Sell the other 9 pieces somewhere, anonymously.
Then you can say: their evidence is worthless, because that camera has never seen my real face. You can never know if it was me.
Watch them try to prove anything ;-)
- Comment on Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber. 1 week ago:

A strong case of “Play stupid games…”
- Comment on Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference? 1 week ago:
Hasn’t your device a housing of steel already? This is a stronger shield against interferences than your aluminium foil.
- Comment on What do you think is the largest number a human can actually grasp / truly comprehend? 1 week ago:
Always a pleasure when people explain my texts to me. Even more so when I was deliberately unprecise, or not so serious at all 😉
- Comment on What do you think is the largest number a human can actually grasp / truly comprehend? 1 week ago:
Try visualizing exactly 10000 apples in your mind.
Impossible. The first apple inside my head would have killed me already.
I can visualize 1 apple im my mouth.
I can visualize 2 apples im my mouth, but with some struggle.
I cannot visualize 10 or 100 or 10,000 apples im my mouth.
So my answer is 2. Every human can grasp that number. Above 2, not everybody can.

- Comment on I turned 30 yesterday but I look 18. Nobody believes me when I tell them my age. What do I do? Do I date a 20 year old guy or a 35 year old guy who looks twice my age? 2 weeks ago:
Mentally I’d say I’m at the age I was right before I got really sick, around 20.
So that’s what you are looking for in a partner.

- Comment on How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny? 2 weeks ago:

In that case you could also say nice to meet you stfu, I am dicska :)
- Comment on Does farting make you lighter or heavier ? 2 weeks ago:
But while holding a fart you’re technically a very shitty balloon.
But you don’t know at what immmmense pressure I can hold my farts!
- Comment on Does farting make you lighter or heavier ? 2 weeks ago:
Methane is lighter than air
Objection! ;-)
This comparison is not relevant, unless you take in as much air immediately as you have just pressed out.
Would you now please show us how you do that?
- Comment on Does farting make you lighter or heavier ? 2 weeks ago:
Makes me muuuuuch lighter. At least that’s the feeling in my belly!
- Comment on How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny? 2 weeks ago:
the person on the other end actually meant it exactly as rude
Yes.
My response, if somebody is escalating such a thing so much: I allow him, politely and very formally, not to read anymore what I have written in the future. While it is kinda superficial (because everybody has that possibility at all times), it also suggests the possibility to him that he does not need to react in such a strong manner, or that he may even shut up :)
