Book bans all the way down

I'm not really answering that question as much as adding a recommendation for another author, so hopefully you don't mind.

Check out the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. Hugo and nebula awards were awarded for novels in the trilogy, and I tore right through them. She has a short story collection that I read first and it really hooked me in. Such a wide variety of worlds, peoples, and consciousness she's able to bring to life. The title doesn't make you think "sci Fi shorts" but I assure you it is, and fantastic! "How Long 'til Black Future Month?"

Shit. You spoke of it. Sorry for your loss.

That's a good point, and lithium batteries get sparky when the lithium gets exposed. In the boat example I'm not going to worry too much about lead acid batteries, if they leak it should dilute quickly. Honestly unless punctured, I'm not going to worry about the lithium batteries really either. You typically find out about punctures in those rather quickly. Like before the water is the issue.

No expert but do have an electronics degree and somee EE theory courses later in life. I don't think much would happen. Don't be a direct bridge across the terminals yourself and I don't think there will be much of an issue being in the same body of water as a battery with even close proximity.

But I could be very wrong.

Yep, using one to run clipper for my 3d printer with armbian as the OS. It's been rock solid for me. There obviously some adaptation and discovery when trying to use the io as it's similar-but-not the same as the raspberry pi io and manipulating it is not the same. But it works, it was available, it was competitively cheap, and it's been stable

Plus I get to say I'm running my 3d printer on a potato

Yeah, I was texted the other day to fill out a survey and didn't even reply with the "stop to opt out". Just, leave me alone. I'm not excited for Biden but I'm going to do what I need to do. That won't show in any polls.

It's probably NaCl

In other news, several border patrol agents seen chasing tornado with tasers drawn.

Devs fault, missed the deliverables promised by mid level managers and/or product owners that were impossible to meet but needed to be released anyway

Not a bitter dev who's been there/done that or anything

A plane for ants?

I really hate it when questions are put this way. Forget about need. Needs are food, water, shelter, health, etc.

Why can't we just ask, "would anyone really benefit from 1khz gaming display?" Then we can discuss the merits of the subject and whether there's actually a reason to move to it or if it's just more marketing and dick waving points.

It feels like asking if anyone "needs" it is unnecessarily loaded with snark and judgment.
