However, it does spontaneously drop off to yield styrene.

Is the 'cheap junk' produced by AI suitable for their intended purpose, rather than to stand the test of time? There's your answer.

And so what are you doing? Working on them while they're on a NAS in a different room? That's kind of a dumb idea, but you could always run iSCSI over cat6a, and just like that you've already maxed out the transfer rate of the disks unless you've got some SSDs that are well beyond consumer grade, in which case you're talking about enterprise applications, which would be at home in a datacenter.

It would make even more sense if you just worked on them locally and only transfer after you're done. I personally use a Crucial T705 4TB SSD.

No, that's literally not what it is. While in Eurotardland it may be that any document on any government website is considered law there, because you guys keep linking crap like that on slashdot as if it was while insisting that it's de-facto law, but that's not how it works here. If it were a law, especially one voted by congress and signed by the president, you'd find it in the United States Code. An official copy of that is kept here:

And right here, you can see what duties and powers the Fed has:

https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuscode.house.gov%2Fview....

Not among them is governing what payment methods a business can accept. In fact, the Fed themselves specifically make such a disclaimer even about cash, which is the only form of tender universally accepted by courts to settle debts:

https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.federalreserve.gov...

No, it is literally not about that. It is literally about EFTs specifically. That's a specific type of electronic payment method, hence the name, Electronic Funds Transfer. You're just a Eurotard with no fucking idea what he's talking about, so get over yourself already. There is no requirement anywhere what form of payment any business must take. In fact, I'm going to link this one more time just to make sure you don't accidentally miss it:

https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.federalreserve.gov...

Disagree? Then show me where the USC specifically says what payment methods a business must accept. Otherwise sit down and shut up.

Regardless of whether it's an EVSE per the NEC definition, it is in fact an adapter. Look at the sticker on it, notice the inputs and outputs are literally identical. Though that's also not necessarily a requirement, what you're thinking of commonly carries a data plane so that the vehicle can negotiate power input. This adapter has no such functionality; it just adapts one power source to another.

Besides, even if you want to split hairs over that, you still lose:

https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdigitalassets.tesla.co...

Regardless, it did not meet what Tesla was looking for.

There is no possible way that is the current standard. The reason I say that is because NACS supports Plug & Charge, which allows your car to automatically negotiate payment with the charging system over TLS using PKI without having to fuck with an app. That's not a thing in DIN 70121, period, which now that you mention it, makes sense why the EU would mandate a credit card terminal, assuming they still use DIN 70121.

If you run into problems, you're probably driving a car that pre-dates any of these standards, like a GM EV1, and old school Nissan Leaf, or some crap like that. And it really doesn't matter if you ship it to Europe, it's still going to give you the same shit.

You might want to look at your page in more detail. Specifically the numbers for DC chargers, which is pretty fucking important, especially considering NACS is already spec'd above CCS2 in terms of overall power draw (1kwh vs 800kwh)

And somehow you think the Federal reserve can tell businesses what form of payment they'll accept despite no federal laws stipulating that? And you're convinced that some random document you found on a government website is an actual law? Are you an rsilvergun sockpuppet or something?

I'd much rather TVs just be monitors with speakers, TBH. On second thought, probably do without the speakers as well.

Oh boy...where to start.
First, this isn't a law, it's a clarification of an existing set of laws.
Second, it doesn't make any stipulation about what means of payments must be accepted on anything, let alone gas stations
Third, it's explaining how merchants are to handle EFT based transactions. Which makes sense, because the federal reserve (whose website you're linking) carries out those transactions.

Be sure to read your links before read them. Better luck next time.

It's not an analogy either, it was me being snarky and describing how things are right at the moment (in retrospect I should have put "analogy" in quotes.) I didn't propose shit. If you disagree with that, then tell me how much you think VW actually gives a shit about Electrify America. Why is that Tesla has a much faster turnaround time than they do? Generally on the order of a month and a half faster. Tell me how different you think my "proposal" (lol) is from how things currently are.

Like this?

We're not talking about Europe. Besides, we had public electric car chargers a LONG TIME before Europe ever did, namely an "electrant" made by GE, and you obviously have no idea why Tesla didn't use open standards at the superchargers: Chademo was the only existing one at the time, and it couldn't meet the charging speeds that Tesla was aiming for.

Doesn't matter what you explained because it's wrong. NACS specifies both the physical form factor and the communication protocol. The protocol is ISO 15118, which didn't even exist until well after Tesla began construction of its supercharger network, and nobody used it AT ALL until even longer after it was finalized.

What the hell are you talking about? Tesla alone outnumbers all other cars on the road nearly 2:1 even to this day. And yes, I'm talking about the US. I don't know why the hell Eurotards keep bringing Europe into this when that was never the context of the discussion until you went off on a random tangent that had nothing to do with reliability, just so that you could mention Europe, for what reason I don't know, my best guess is you're feeling insecure.

Inadequate for what? Nothing you described here is in want of anything beyond a gig, likely barely even that much. Your stipulations here are so vague I doubt even you know what you're asking for.

And yet cat6a is already well ahead of what anybody realistically needs today for home use. It would dramatically exceed anything you've mentioned here. I dare say it should outlast anybody's needs until probably 2050, if not longer. 10gbbps already greatly exceeds what HDDs are currently capable of, and probably most SSDs as well.

Replacing previously-run cabling is much easier to do already.

It's not meant to persuade, it's meant to be hyperbole.

No it's not.

Allow me to give you a demonstration of what critical thinking looks like:

When anthropologists find that the oldest artefacts in a given region are all made of bone, they don't conclude that all artefacts from that time and place were made of bone. It doesn't seem likely that the whoever made these artefacts perfected carving bone before they ever perfected carving wood, given the latter is much easier as wood is a softer and less brittle material, and the former takes a lot more time and effort, even when the craft is perfect.

It's thus far more likely that nobody found any wooden artefacts because we know that bone just plain lasts a lot longer than wood.

Cheaper items have always been made since time immemorial. For example, items made of wood instead of other materials. It's not always necessary to build everything to perfection or only using the longest lasting materials (example: titanium will last longer than steel, but it's also a weaker metal and it's harder to obtain.) This is what we call being practical. And just because you don't see the cheaper or lower quality item doesn't mean it was never there. More than likely, it only lasted as long as necessary.

Now you try. Show us your critical thinking skills. See if you can explain why your survivorship bias for old chairs might be the logical error that it is.

Nothing you're talking about here is in want of anything beyond what ordinary cat6a can give you. And that's being generous, because you're being so vague here that it even sounds like cat5e might suffice. What is it you're even envisioning here? A guy downloading 5 Linux ISOs simultaneously while watching 8k porn, and for whatever reason he's gotta do all of this from just one room?

Honestly this sounds like yet another case of you going out of your way to justify CCP propaganda.

Not even slightly the same as payday loans. Payday loans have universally unfavorable terms compared to credit cards. No matter what, you pay interest and/or fees for them, and that's assuming the interest you pay is anywhere near comparable. And by the time you can even think about doing a chapter 7 on payday loan debt, they've likely already garnished their money back, and some.

Credit cards, on the other hand, can earn you money if used correctly. The first credit card I had was when I was 18, and it had a 1% cash back (which was rare at the time if you were 18 and had no credit history at all, may still be, I'm not sure.) I've gotten better ones since, but I basically don't even pay interest or fees of any kind on them, except for the one I got most recently where I determined the perks way outweighed the annual fee of $50 (among other things, permanent free globalentry, 2% cash back on everything, 3% back on travel, plus a $400 cash back sign on bonus and a year of free amazon prime.)

Not to mention, simply paying them back in full every month is a guaranteed way to have the highest credit grade possible, which means if you ever did have to take out a loan of any kind, for any reason, you get the best rates, so even if you have to pay interest, you pay less for it.

In my lifetime, I've probably saved somewhere in the tens of thousands of dollars by paying for basically everything I buy with a credit card.

Maybe you like giving multimillionaire movie producers free money, but I sure as shit don't. I don't know about you but, when I looked at my last pay statement, on the YTD line there were two numbers that kind of irked me:

Deductions: $77k
Taxes: $79k
Net pay: $17k

That's what happens when you get taxed on money you never even had, and may never even see. And even if you never do see it, FTB ain't giving anything back. May as well have just set that money on fire, especially with the crap Hollywood produces today.

And by choosing to be the minimum wage derp in a city you can't afford, you're really just subsidizing somebody else's lifestyle. IMO it's better to just not be the derp, but to each his own.

That is absolutely not true, and more to the point, this is a false dilemma -- there are a lot more choices than "overpriced city" and "boonies".

I still haven't even had a car loan in my life. My very first car I paid $3,000 for, which was right around the time I started college. And I only paid that much because it was a pretty nice car. Despite being salvaged title, it ran great and had no major problems. Take the time to research your investments before jumping into them -- common sense. The most expensive part of that I paid for was insurance, which is pretty typical at that age, and vastly offsets expensive rent.

Everything has tradeoffs, but this particular bit also isn't true. That guy Louis Rossmann moved from NYC to some small Texas town, smaller town than I've ever lived in from the sound of it, after living in NYC his entire life. One thing he commented on was basically how everybody knows everybody. Doesn't sound isolating to me.

What, do you have an ankle monitor or something? Guarantee you any other excuse you can come up with is just that -- an excuse, not an actual barrier.

Began in late 2002 or early 2003, I don't recall. Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Then later Mesa Community College. Then ultimately Northern Arizona University. Despite having 200 some odd credits (way more than I care to admit) I think my total out-of-pocket costs were around $20k. No loans. I only acquired a few scholarships that didn't amount to a whole lot.

There's no good reason to require that. That's just a blatant ripoff. I don't care what they told you it was for. School stopped being a daycare right at the moment that you got your high-school diploma. It just plain wasn't necessary. A school that rips you off like that is not a "good college". Why would you even begin to think that this is reasonable? That's like a movie theater telling you that you can only eat their food. Fuck that, I would always sneak in my own at that age. It's not like they'd ever do anything about it even if they caught you. You know what I'd do if they did? I'd go to a different theater thenceforth instead. Hint hint.

What a coincidence, I started college 22 years ago. They offered student loans, all I had to do was check a box because eligibility was already determined, and the money would have gone straight into my bank account. I didn't check the box. Going to college isn't a bad idea, paying too much for it is.

Probably why I'm atheist and they're Mormons. Either way, nobody in my family offered even a cent for my college costs.

I'll do one better and let you in on a lecture, free of charge. I don't know about you, but I went to community college. I took a lot of courses that I ultimately didn't need, and one of them was Biology, which I took because I happen to like the subject. One of the things I learned in biology is that there are practically an infinite number of proteins. Your body doesn't even use most of the ones you consume, instead it breaks them down into their constituent amino acids to build its own proteins with (in the process yielding ammonia, a toxic substance that your liver converts into an inert substance called urea-nitrogen, which it releases back into your blood serum and your kidneys later discard.) But not every protein out there contains every type of amino acid that animals need to build their own proteins -- this is especially true of plant proteins, where they rarely have a complete set of amino acids. Humans in particular, being omnivores (and this is especially true of obligate carnivores) can't synthesize all the requisite amino acids that they need if the proteins they consume don't have them, instead they can only create certain ones. That's where ribeyes come in.

And I don't know about you, but I love a good ribeye. If you go to a steakhouse, you could pay anywhere from $30 to $60 (or more even) for a 16oz ribeye, where they typically don't even tell you the grade, which is usually USDA choice. But Costco sometimes sells USDA prime ribeyes for $12/lb. Also I don't know about you, but I'm a diver, and one of my favorite things to do when the season is right is go lobster diving. Good fun and good eating.

I wouldn't know, don't even like coffee. Where I work we have several barista bars (with actual baristas) and it's kind of like starbucks I guess, only it's free. I only ever really go just to socialize with the coworkers. We're all engineers and most of them really gotta have their caffeine (I generally avoid it.) Occasionally I might order a breve iced latte with sugar-free vanilla, which doesn't really taste like coffee despite being coffee. If I had to pay, I'd simply do without.

It's how Hollywood started. Nowadays if you even look at a movie wrong, they'll sue. To make matters worse, if you're a California taxpayer (like me) you're now being forced, under penalty of prison, to donate part of your income to Hollywood.

https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.latimes.com%2Fentert...

So the "workers" (mostly already wealthy writers and actors) successfully priced themselves out of the market, and campaigned for politicians to regulate the studios away. Obviously the taxpayer's fault.

So even if you don't look at the movie at all, you'll pay.
