I never heard it called the Elvis operator! Thanks!

People complained that a few things were hard to find, but not that the control panel itself was convoluted.

I mean, that’s not the CCP, that’s just the Chinese people working like dogs to profit the corrupt party members.

If that’s true then it is also true that Capitalism didn’t do anything for America either. It was Americans working like dogs for the profit of corrupt leaders.

Yes, frozen hot dog microwaved with no water.

I tried microwaving a hot dog recently (I had a microwave for 30 years and never thought to try!) and it works surprisingly well. The skin was even browned.

“Law enforcement officers typically have fairly broad leeway to place someone in handcuffs during an interaction if they believe that it’s necessary to protect themselves from harm. In those cases, they can do so even if the person being handcuffed hasn’t been arrested.”

Handcuffs do not mean an arrest.

Some people take tabs vs spaces too seriously.

Was he arrested? I don’t see follow up. It only says he was handcuffed which would be standard until they know what’s going on.

Unfortunately that’s everything. Netflix, buying groceries with a credit card, even driving your new car.

That’s what happens when James Cameron gets his knowledge from Ray Kurzweil.

Burned DVD’s or mass manufactured? Purchased can last forever although aluminum substrate corrosion has happened in humid environments.

Verbatim is still around. They still say, “Up to 100 years”. 10 years is up to 100 years.

Play the lottery. You could win up to $1M dollars.

You don’t have to keep the sub. Pay $10, convert the files, unsubscribe.

USB sticks are only rated for 10 years. So you should only expect 5. Physically they will last much longer but the electrons leak out of the floating gate unless re-written.

10-15 years for DVD. I have extensive experience with DVDs. I don’t have experience with Blu-ray but I would expect it to be half the rated lifespan too.

DVD’s will last about 15 years tops. I bought the highest quality 100 year rated AZZO dye DVDs. I used special tools from cdforums to make sure I burned at the speed that resulted in the lowest pi/pio errors rate ( the errors you don’t normally see because they’re corrected in drive). The ideal speed isn’t the slowest or fastest based on the drive and the media. I stored the DVDs in black dvd cases in my temperature controlled basement.

They all started having errors after 10 years.

That still means you have to find a source that’s not contaminated. Given it’s even in Antarctica, that’s going to be a challenge.

2. You are going to pay hundreds per bag to send it for testing?

Hydroponics are done with plastic components. I’ve never heard of hydroponics done with glass.

The micro plastic is in the dirt. Most commenters here think microplastic means a bit of plastic that broke off packaging.

Microplastic are plastic pieces that you need a strong microscope to see. They can be as small as bacteria.
