Chattel slavery is different than indentured servitude. There is no ownership of the indentured servant, but they are forced to work against their will. This is the slavery found in Xinjiang, as well as the US penal system.

But it’s not.

I had one of those for years. A standard, outdoor rated extension cord will plug right into the back of that trimmer. Bring it with you to the hardware store to make sure the female plug fits into the recess.

I think the problem lies in the underestimation of the potential for that level of personal data. The privacy counter-argument is usually “nothing to hide.” Psychographic profiling is the incredibly accurate practice of predicting an individual’s engagement based on previous choices, and is far more invasive than “telling secrets.”

That’s fair. They’re certainly imperfect, but a large improvement over electrolytic cells for large scale storage.

I’ve read that gravity batteries and sand batteries are ecologically sound options that work on the scale needed to support large sections of the electrical grid.

This is absolutely necessary for anyone born before ~1985. I have so many “random facts” memorized from pre-internet days, and many of them have turned out to be half-right hearsay or straight up incorrect when faced with fact-checking.

I’d wager many of them aren’t US citizens anyway.

Gotcha. I guess that’s the difference between programmer humor and computer architect humor.

Isn’t zero the same in base-2 as it is in base-10? Wouldn’t first place be 1, second place be 10, and third place 11?

Reminds me of the MacBook Wheel lol

I go the other way. When AA/AAA batteries are too weak for high drain devices, I save them for my remote controls. They usually last for months due to the intermittent use and low wattage.

You sound just like the Republicans that say we shouldn’t support Ukraine because it’s a failed state. There’s no justification for genocide.

Are you being serious right now? The sinicization of Tibet began in 1951. It was ruled a genocide over 60 years ago. It continues to this day.

Either you have an agenda, or you need to read more.

You’re joking, right? That’s the point of boycotting, divesting, and sanctioning- to stop providing income to a nation. The US absolutely financially supports the Tibetan and Uyghur genocide through commerce, trade, and investments.

Nope. Thanks for the link.

Why not include Russia and China for the same reasons?
