If you want to look at mp3 players, they are also called DAPs for Digital Audio Player. There are a few options nowadays. Some are touch screen android devices, some are more simple with button controls and some can be loaded with Rockbox. The Echo mini is a little limited, but works pretty well. They came out with the Echo at some point which seems a little better made. If you go that route, keep an eye on fiio's website. They've made some interesting updates to the firmware over time.

That also assumes this is done in the same orbit as the ISS right? The ISS isn't in a stable orbit, right?. It occasionally needs to adjust its orbit because of atmospheric drag. You're talking about 20x the area which could be a considerable difference in mass. That's more fuel needed per burn which also needs to be transported up to the data center. Otherwise you are looking at putting this thing in an even higher orbit which comes with its own host of problems.

They aren't entirely wrong. Grocery stores often have a bread aisle with loaves that probably fit that description. Many grocery stores also have a bakery department that has bread baked in house. I looked at their nutritional facts online and my local grocery chain says there is no added sugars in their sourdough. I know a couple of local bakeries near me as well. Not all of our bread is wonder bread.

It wasn't just that. I used the first party app so the API changes didn't affect me. It was how bad they handled the whole situation that made me lose faith that reddit was going in a good direction. That thread "addressing" the changes and concerns was brutal.

The Echo Mini is pretty good and they've been updating the firmware to add stuff for a while now. My biggest gripes with it would be there is a hard limit of a little over 8000 songs even if there is enough space for more on your SD card. It's something to do with how it indexes the library. It also doesn't really support playlists, although I think the most recent update allows you to play everything within a genre so you could do some shenanigans with that.

The real question is how does pressure factor in? I don't care what kind of preparations you make. If you end up at the bottom of the Mariana trench you won't survive 30 seconds. You just go from biology to physics instantaneously.

The damage of a bike hitting a person is much lower, but that isn't the only factor. I think there is a disconnect between whether a person on a pedal bike is a pedestrian or a road vehicle. I've seen people ride through crosswalks like a pedestrian even though they are technically supposed to dismount here if you're on the sidewalk. It's harder for a driver to anticipate a bike since they are generally going much faster than a pedestrian (not a great excuse for hitting one though). You can absolutely break the speed limit in a school zone on a bike and I've heard of people getting ticketed for it. On the other hand, I've seen people ride on bike lanes on the road act like idiots. I've quite a few people riding against the flow of traffic even though there is a clear arrow indicating which direction to ride. It wouldn't hurt to have more people aware of the laws regarding commuting on bikes. On the other hand, a license could make it more difficult for the people that would normally rely on a bicycle as a form of transportation. Maybe it's mainly a US thing?

I'm not an electrician but I've been in a similar spot. If you have non computer stuff that has a ground prong, you can replace a two prong receptacle with a 3 prong GFCI outlet and not hook up the ground. You just need to lable the outlet as "No equipment ground". GFCI outlets generally come with these stickers since it is a common retrofit. If you hook it up right, any outlet that is GFCI protected downstream could be replaced with a 3 prong receptacle without a ground and would have to be labeled "GFCI protected" and "No equipment ground". Even though there isn't a ground, you are protected from electric shock by GFCI. You shouldn't plug a computer into an outlet like that since computers use ground to filter noise from their power supply and require an equipment ground. If you need an equipment ground, you would need to talk to an electrician.
