Whatever the box says.
I’ve tried to cheat fate before by being just 50w under the label and got screwed for it.

I’m awaiting the fireworks for when they use AI to patch the Cobol systems still used by the banks.
- Comment on If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space? 3 days ago:
This feels like one of those xkcd questions.
Without involving maths, its fair to say it wouldn’t be unlike having it launched by an explosion.
The closest thing I can recall related to this concept would be Project HARP.
Whatever you’re launching would need to be capable of absorbing the unreal amount of G force and survive the resistance of the atmosphere. As you’ll be required to launch the spaceship at escape velocity with a delta of near 0.
I don’t believe rubber has the material strengths necessary to achieve that launch while still being able to store it on the face of the planet. So, imagine a ball of elastics the size of the sun and maybe there’s a chance because of the slow rate of acceleration achievable by not being on the earth any more.
- Comment on Is there a font/typeface designing program that is available for Windows or Linux that supports creation of variable fonts and OpenType features? 3 days ago:
So, this is out of my element. But does Inkscape work for you?
I found this page where some people are talking about it.

You should be able to select “GE-Proton(Latest)” as your runner in Lutris. But if its missing for some reason, github.com/gloriouseggroll/proton-ge-custom
I haven’t noticed any major issues between using Lutris and Steam for the games I play.

- Comment on Does vibe coding sort of work at all? 2 weeks ago:
It’s cool for little things when working on an unfamiliar project or learning something new.
But don’t trust one example and read about the features you’re using.
- Comment on What are the differences between 1) probabillities, 2) possibillities, and 3) plausabillities? 2 weeks ago:
A coin toss has two possible outcomes (possibilities). Head and tails.
There is also the extreme implausibility with a >1% probability that it will land on its edge but still more possible than 1000 heads in a row.

- Comment on Can I learn how to "photoshop" images without PhotoShop^TM and also on my iPhone? 2 weeks ago:
Here are a couple of completely free tools to explore your goals.
Adobe’s suite isn’t the king it once was.
docs.krita.org/en/ (powerful image editing)
inkscape.org/learn/ (vector illustrations)
docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/ (animation tool)
cdn.openshot.org/static/files/…/index.html (video Editor)
Most of these tools are more capable than I described and there are many more foss tools out there.

I fell down in the shop yesterday and landed on top of some large tools. There was a bunch of blood and I’m all bruised up.
I’ll be fine but sleeping last night felt like torture I couldn’t get comfortable at all and ended up sleeping against the wall.
So I can really relate to this haha

Each currency has foss software that pairs with it.
Some of them require serious hardware to run locally but they can generate a wallet for you.
It’s crucial you back that up.
