I get your point, and I'm not sure that's any better.

Christians are the only ones that believe in Satan.

No, satanists do not believe in Satan.

Depending on your location and situation, you may have access to a nurse line or fast telemedicine (basically a zoom call with a random doctor). They can diagnose many ailments remotely, and at least tell you what the next steps should be.

This will also be used to restrict their voting rights.

Weren't there reports of exactly this already happening?

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

There are options, but you probably won't like them...

I know this is semantics, but I would say a good book is engaging rather than addicting. Many phone apps are specifically designed with addiction in mind, targeting the pleasure centers of your brain to keep you playing/scrolling/etc. But I also acknowledge that this is similar to style guides on keeping the reader interested.

I would describe it as a difference in degree.

Books weren't designed to be addictive and make you lose track of time.

FTA:

About 37% of smartphone users spend over five minutes on the toilet compared with 7% of non-smartphone users.

Pretty sure there's nothing stopping anyone that wants to do this. Aside from the accountants and VCs who think (probably quite accurately) that there's no way to do it profitably anymore.

In some places, yes, probably. It would most likely fall under anti-SLAPP protections.

IANAL though, so it could be more complicated.

I really wish they had included the average insurance price for each model. They obviously had it, since that was the basis of the ranking, but they chose not to display it.

Electric vehicles cost $4,058 on average to insure

$4k per what? Is that across the entirety of the category, which is top-heavy?

I can assure you that my Chevy Bolt costs a lot less than $4k/year to insure, and that includes full coverage and common claim caps. It's similar to my common ICE car before it.

I presume it's being heavily swayed by the expensive cars, such as Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, etc. I don't think your standard EV (GM, Hyundai, VW, etc) is going to be reasonably different over a comparable ICE model.

 

I'm looking to upgrade some of my internal systems to 10 gigabit, and seeing some patchy/conflicting/outdated info. Does anyone have any experience with local fiber? This would be entirely isolated to within my LAN, to enable faster access to my fileserver.

Current existing hardware:

  • MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM, featuring 2 SFP+ ports capable of 10GbE
  • File server with a consumer-grade desktop PC motherboard. I have multiple options for this one going forward, but all will have at least 1 open PCIe x4+ slot
  • This file server already has an LSI SAS x8 card connected to an external DAS
  • Additional consumer-grade desktop PC, also featuring an open PCIe x4 slot.
  • Physical access to run a fiber cable through the ceiling/walls

My primary goal is to have these connected as fast as possible to each other, while also allowing access to the rest of the LAN. I'm reluctant to use Cat6a (which is what these are currently using) due to reports of excessive heat and instability from the SFP+ modules.

As such, I'm willing to run some fiber cables. Here is my current plan, mostly sourced from FS:

  • 2x Supermicro AOC-STGN-i2S / AOC-STGN-i1S (sourced from eBay)
  • 2x Intel E10GSFPSR Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85 for the NIC side)
  • 2x Ubiquiti UF-MM-10G Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85, for the switch side)
  • 2x 15m (49ft) Fiber Patch Cable, LC UPC to LC UPC, Duplex, 2 Fibers, Multimode (OM4), Riser (OFNR), 2.0mm, Tight-Buffered, Aqua (FS P/N: OM4LCDX)

I know the cards are x8, but it seems that's only needed to max out both ports. I will only be using one port on each card.

Are fiber keystone jacks/couplers (FS P/N: KJ-OM4LCDX) a bad idea?

Am I missing something completely? Are these even compatible with each other? I chose Ubiquti for the switch SFP+ since Mikrotik doesn't vendor-lock, AFAICT.
