I remember trying to play online quake in the 90’s, I live in new Zealand… We had dial up, my latency was around the 5s mark. I have up pretty quick.
If I wanted to play multiplayer games, it was taking my desktop computer to a friends house, connecting them together with 10Mb BNC networking, and don’t forget the 50ohm terminators.
A friend spent a week trying to download the original pirated version on XP, the couple of hundred meg file would get stopped for various reasons.
I have my full name as a gmail account, I got it as soon as it possible. firstname.lastname@gmail.com

I did this at climbing recently.
It was really hot and everyone was sweating; someone said “I better have some electrolytes”; without thought:
it’s what plants crave!

Well…a single mitocondrion is not really a powerhouse of anything except really simple single celled organisms.
The number of mitochondria in a cell vary widely by organism, tissue, and cell type. A mature red blood cell has no mitochondria, whereas a liver cell can have more than 2000.
It would be more correct to say “are the powerhouse of the cell”.

- Comment on British plugs 3 months ago:
We used to be. The rules changed about 10 years ago.
A lot of big appliances require higher power. Dishwashers, clothes dryers, fridges.
Some powers tools, drill press, plainer.
I never worry about load splitting,.
The benefit of the AS/NSZ plug, is that it isn’t much bigger than the US plug, but has a higher power density.

Because the soul is corrupted in the process.
- Comment on Have you noticed this? 3 months ago:
It is a bit silly.
But the reason is; the faithful are the prize. The unfaithful are already damned; why would the demons bother with those already going to hell?
I’m a lifelong atheist; it is all just superstition; but the logic is not flawed in this case.

I can charge my electric car from a standard outlet. Can add 20kWh overnight, which is plenty for 3 days round town driving.
230V at 15A on a standard outlet, plug only slightly larger than the American one.

I call this the curtain; when I imagine something, like a tree, I can’t see the tree. But it is still there; just like it is behind a black curtain, no images from the tree can be seen.

Yep…me for 40 years; that is just a metaphor to help think about things. Then one day reading about aphantasia…WTF!!!people can actually see, it’s not just a metaphor.
But then I had a conversation with my partner; she can combine flavors in her mind and know, pretty accurately, what stuff will taste like; it is one reason she loves cooking.
People can actually get a song stuck in their heads…again, not a metaphor.
Mind blown!!!
My 7yo can project images from his mind into the world; what the hell. He can “watch” movie when looking at the wall when he is in bed going to sleep; with the sounds and everything.
