Well yes, they're called "private". Often either illegal, it offends some powerful people or the creator doesn't give a shit and may just post a link on a forum as a thanks. Respec…

Yeah, I'm making stainless/steel high pressure containers/barrels/pipes. I'll tell you working with 15mm+ stainless is nothing like ~2mm PC case grade steel or aluminum :D Very har…

IME, if it worked fine for a year and has less than 100TB written, it's good for another 3-4. They usually fail early or very late. Assuming good cooling.

That's fantastic, congrats, you have realized how pointless your opinion is online. The only thing that matters and that can't be replicated is doing and showing . Got a prototype/…

It can be a case of a factory running things like that. Pretty common in the US (with immigrants) and EU (again, immigrants). Except Chinese factories are huge and aplenty, so they…

Doing well at the expense of some of the population, name a more draconian duo heh.

It comes in any profession. Switch to soemjting that you would like doing, pretty much. And I don't mean another language. You may need something completely different. Metalworking…

Basically don't be a middleman. I bought a cover set for my Legion 5 Pro, and the best one was made in China, available only in the US. Fortunately the price is low enough to avoid…

Hoover (vacuum), Xerox (copy), Flex (angle grinder), the bright yellow post it note (3m trademark), pretty funny stuff

Why not invest in both? Besides, the cost of designs pales in comparison to the cost of producing locally.

Oh please. Plenty of jobs that are worse. Plenty of immigrants, too, with plenty of loopholes to fuck them over.

What do you call the infatuation with ducking over small businesses and startups? It's tied into the culture, tbh, but you know, at least make it easier for someone to start, fail …

Everyone just pretends there wasn't a time when people were spending years of their life in an MMO. That was ruined by games trying to appeal to more mainstream people (with less h…

Where does the math work out? In much of Europe, charging instead of fueling is around 2x more expensive per KW of useful energy and that's with diesel/petrol being 2 Euros/Liter. …

I was an early adopter of "the Internet" in the 00s. Nowadays I'm "too old to know/use X/Y/Z". Damn kids, I helped build this sheet! :D

I wanted to say you need to create new habits and a schedule. With medication you can (finally) do it, but you simply don't know how. You can self-help, but external help would wor…

This is what I would've thought not even a year ago. Having tried pretty much all the stimulants (oh DNMs how I love you) and currently taking one, I almost can't believe I have to…

As long as it's set on a collision course with the Sun. Although I'm not sure the latter would survive.

Slavery, fucking L. There are villages without proper taxation or any public services. Paying in labour works as an alternative. What stops anyone from using a kitchen knife to sta…

No, we know why: the people. The governments, the culture/desires. And I don't mean only Africa or Asia, (before someone calls me racist). Any country has had this problem. The sim…

I mean, yeah, they're great, but come on. Most of the important stuff runs on stuff that's decades old.

Committing to SERPs is challenging. Unless your domain itself has your full name, a Medium article with your name in there will rank higher than your personal blog... Although I re…

Now do one for Deutsche Bahn :D There was some news a few weeks ago where DB was saying train delays/cancellations were due to sabotage. Probably by Russian agents. Sure thing DB.

A Train is asshoe

Law firm being cheap? Or Indians being dangerous, I guess...
