Wurth is just a badge engineering company with stupid high markup. I used to own a sign company, and we bought stuff from them. We slowly realized that they essentially sold convenience, a one stop shop formula.
Give me the real GOATS anytime: 3M, Hilti, any of the big pro power tool makers, etc.
With the internet, the convenience factor is gone.
Yes, but please, get a good one. A crappy one is likely to strip heads.
Ifixit sets are highly regarded.
I have a Wiha set, but that may be overkill for many.
For swamp crotch, Gold Bond is the GOAT.
If you use an electric toothbrush, every two or three brushing, use a manual one. Both brush differently, so you will reach more nooks and crannies by alternating.
Time to order a few SanDisk cards
Overcompensating much?
That’s when you mail yourself letters from “FBI sharpshooter association” or “Krav Maga instructors association”, and after receiving them post marked, drop them in their mailbox, as if it were postman error.
I don’t buy used HDDs, or brake pads, or helmets, or climbing rope, or…
I use Xpenology on an HP Gen 8 microswrver, a pretty nifty piece of kit. Works great, but setting up and upgrading versions can be a rather involved process.
Gamer desktops tend to be power hogs. Running them 24/7 can rack up some hefty power bills, plus noise, plus space, plus other tradeoffs.
Better a used thin client.
If you have a 3d printer, or access, o know someone willing to print for you, there are many free models out there
Definitely an option, but for the price of a Pi with all the extras, case, power supply, etc, you can get a used thin client that is way more capable.
There is a guy on YouTube that often reviews these things, and discovers some models that are surprisingly capable.
Synology publishes a list of certified non-synology drives, and warns you that drives outside the list are not recommended, but, at least in non enterprise models, allows them to be used. I believe there is some rather easy way (some config file change or the like) to circumvent the limitation, but yeah, dick move.
Bargaining chip. Hehe, I see what you did there.
Tesla sells itself as a technology innovation company, but it sells hype.
The esthetics are +20 years old. While dihydrogen monoxide has been a staple in my dad humor repertoire, this site is a banger.
BTW, the post was downvoted. My guess is that it was one of the dyhidrogen oxide cartels.
Orcas have almost never killed humans in recorded history. The recorded cases were either jailed orcas, or mistaken identity. There are however many documented cases of orcas offering catch to humans, and behavior like that. They “kill” boats, not humans.
Sadly, fridges are the one appliance that uses the most energy, it runs 24/7, so running an older model will cost you a lot in the long term. I have a 20 year old fridge that hasn’t had a problem ever, save a broken glass shelf and a door basket, and I’m replacing it with a dumb one with the best energy rating. It’s the same with cars, although it’s getting harder to find “dumb” cars.
Oh, I understand that perfectly well. The question is: that thing is a tethered balloon. If they expect to have it float 10 Km up, it has to be tethered with a cable at least 10Km long, which should be able to withstand the forces created by wind resistance, plus its own weight, and be conductive, so some lightweight cable won’t cut it, metal will have to be involved, and not some lightweight signal cable, but hefty metal. Will that thing be buoyant enough to lift that cable?
Is that thing going to be able to float itself and support the weight of the cables at the altitudes they talk about?
Makes sense. It was talcum based, which is a pretty bad thing to breathe.
