Why not? Don't you wish you could detach your hand and send it on its own mission?

Cable testers can bypass all of the standard driver and USB negotiation bullshit before anything else. I would imagine building a device to manually control when and how the connections are made is much easier than fighting for low level device control on systems like Windows, macOS and Android.

I am going to leave it.

Still, you might want to look up the history of your leaders and their opinions on free speech.

Well, you can't break something that's already broken.

Only $100 million?

In my case, they keep sending me pictures of my neighbors house. Oh well.

I want to reply to them telling them they should be paying me for my dick pics, but they are either using spoofed emails or compromised Gmail accounts. (They wouldn't care about a reply, even if they go to the trouble of looking for one.)

Seriously, I wish they would at least check my linked in profile first, which is yet another pointless ask because of the automation that is probably involved. I guess they don't want to talk to someone who has been in security for +20 years who's side hobby is wasting email scammers time with virtual machines that are goatse themed. Sigh.

Check back later. This is a government IT system we are talking about here. (Not knocking government IT workers I know.. There is usually bad policy and old processes in play.)

I called that out. It was the weight of the earth.... on earth.

The earth is estimated to "weigh" 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds. (That is weird when you think about it. The weight of the earth being based on what something weighs on earth, I mean.)

Mt. Everest is only about 357,000,000,000,000 pounds and is just a tiny fraction of the mass of the earth.

So. My point is that we need a better way to portray scale of things in the universe. AUs work to a point but then we have to quickly move to parsecs. Parsecs quickly give way to light years. (Or vice-versa, depending on how you visualize things better.) Light years kinda work, but only for between 14-26 billion years. Even after all of that, I can hardly still fathom the size of Mt. Everest. (This was a rant, but not an angry rant.)

It looks like she is holding a pistol.

the sound from my sub £100 2.1 soundbar which obviously puts the TV speakers to shame.

Absolutely don't start writing music then. Once you do, it'll destroy your perception of how sound bars simulate 5.1 channel audio. (Most consumer grade Atmos sound bars have a pair of speakers that point up from the center channel to reflect sound off your ceiling. I would be able to hear that "trick", unfortunately.)

My "studio" is super simple and I only use 2.1 audio but with proper monitor speakers that have a mostly "flat" sound. While sound bars are great for limited space, I'll never use one again. For music and most movies, 2.1 is all you need. Rear channels are nice and everything, but kinda pointless in a living room. (If people want a real theater experience at home, good luck buying a proper +30 channel system.)

When it comes time for you to invest in new headphones, buy some ATH-M50x's. Once you hear what relatively flat sound is like, you'll probably end up throwing every other speaker you own in the trash.
