I thought so too. Watched a review on youtube. The properly made ones got all the safety stuff. It turns off if the mains goes out, even if you got multiple of them (they put a signal on top of the sine). They are even limited to like 800W so you can plug them in anywhere without risk of fire, unless you plug like 3 in one outlet.

I still don't fully trust them but they are safer then they look. Ofc they come with a lipo battery.. but it's at least not that big of one. I'd rather they come with salt or lead batteries.

The bigger concern is the pannels themselves. A flying glass sheet is not safe. Then again many fix stuff themselves already, and not many die...

Sure but "multiplier" by 10x or 1.1x?

IMO managers/bosses are there to take care of the anoying little things so the workers can focus on work. Workers can do all that and even organize amongst themselves (most of workers can). And there are thousands other variables. Question is of pay, so the question is of worth. IMO a manager is not always more worth then a worker, and I wonder how often one is.

Disclaimer: I worked construction and a bit of sales, not an office job.

Correction: 1.1x, not 0.1x.

Yea but things do turn into a mist, eventually..

RAM and cpus use the proper 1024 B to kB to MB to GB. Unlike hdd makers that paid ISO to retroactively make it 1000. Or worse internet providers that use bits (b) instead of bytes (B) (reasoning that signal transmission uses bits).

It's definitely the kernel and bios reserving pieces. They need it to run the computer, after all. Afaik even other hardware can reserve memory for itself, like gpus or network devices.

I got a knife my grandfather used, that has been sharpened so much it looks like a fillet knife. Ergonomics? It cuts, I don't care. It's a good reserve.

Good point about dimples though. But thinking about it why wouldnt I be able to sharpen it? A knife's like 2mm thick while a dimple is idk I don't have one such knife, but it's probably much less then 0.3mm and the edge obviously tapers.

Stuff sticks to knives because they are flat. They need to have dimples for stuff not to stick. Even with ultrasonic vibrations things will stick because things are elastic and sucktion.

I doubt this knife has the power for its vibrations to make a meaningfull difference in cutting.

That's my opinion at least.

YES! There are leevees literally thousands of years old (in mesopotamia) because they planted trees on them.

Never understood why they are not made like that. Engineers are usually smart people so why make complex structures that need maintanence when you can just plant trees on them.
