A normal coal train going to a powerplant is a about a mile long, and coal powerplants may require mutiple train loads per day.

Once you realize just how much coal that is, you will never be able to forgive the anti nuclear movement for fucking us over so hard.

There is a great documentary from 2006 by the BBC, it is called Nuclear Nightmares, and talks about our fear of radiation.

It is almost 20 years old, but it is still worth a watch. You can find it on Dailymotion.

Ah…

What?

IT guy here.

Nope, my phone uses facial recognition to unlock, and my computer passwords are wither random letters and numbers or a full passphrase, both of which use multiples of the same letter and different capitalizations.

Example:

Random string, similar to passwords I have used in the past:

“r82ZwQqDW”

Looking at a keyboard where you could see all characters used it would look like this:

dqrwz28 + shift

Figuring out the password above from these letter by logic is basically impossible, so they have to brute force it, only they don’t know the length of the password, which uses more time.

Passphrases are even better, using something like:

CreepySmilingHorseSnortsLead2016!

Just look at all of the reused letters!

No way someone would guess that the characters acedghilmnoprsty0126 + shift would spell the password above.

I am an IT technician, I would say that I am about a 7.

Most of my job deals with psychology.

Tobacco: no absolutely not, I hate the smell and just don’t see the point.

Alcohol: extremely rarely, I have a well stocked bar at home, and used to drink alcohol a few times a month, but in the last few years two things happened.

1. I got a driving license and a car, I was 35 and got it late. I have a zero tolerance for alcohol and driving, no light beer, nothing, if I am going to drive I will simply not drink any alcohol. And since I got the driving license and car I want to be able to get in the car at any point in case of emergencies and not have to worry about having had alcohol.
2. I realized that alcohol was just simply annoying to me, I get hot, have trouble sleeping and the next day I am really tired and slow to get going, even after just having drunk a small ammonit. I apparently am a lightweight, and that it perfectly fine, alcohol doesn’t mean much to me, so I don’t feel like I am missing anything. I like the bottles of alcohol I have so I will save them for a bar shelf that looks cool. I do participate in toasts or celebrations when I know I won’t drive, I even have four bottles of cheap champagne with customized ribbons for Trump, Putin, Musk and Orban to toast with when the world is spared their existance, but that is the extent of my alcohol consumption.

Ok, so your question is why systems like Zigbee or Z-Wave has a bridge directly connected to the network and won’t just rely on the normal network.

That is because Zigbee and Z-Wave is a different technology than wifi.

I have Philips Hue lights at home, they use the Zigbee sytem, Zigbee is a low power meshing network, any commands are sent from the bridge, and relayed by the devices on the network until it reaches the specific node requested, the response is sent back through the network.

So why not just use wifi?

Plenty of smart home stuff does use wifi, it is a matter of what the manufacturer decided to use.

Personally I prefer Zigbee, I find it easier to work with and it doesn’t clutter my network with random smart lights.

I am building a NAS machine and will probably migrate over to using home assistant on that rather than just relying on the standard bridge from Philips.

Driving too close behind me forces me to reduce my speed, keep a good safety distance, then I can drive the limit.

I am currently in the final phase of building my first own built NAS.

(I have an oooooold Intel NAS, that I don’t really use anymore…)

I need to populate the case with storage drives, I need to add an Intel GPU, a 10gbit NIC, and possibly add an HBA to add two SSDs for VM storage.

Currently I have a:

• Jonsbo N4 case
• Asrock B550m Pro4
• AMD Ryzen 4600G
• 32GB RAM
• Kingston boot SSD
• Corsair SF750 PSU

I am running TrueNAS on it, that was just installed to make sure that it is working, but I am planning on running it going forward, as I am mostly looking to run the server as a filserver.

I would imagine a few more places that I would pay a visit to…

If you haven’t seen Tropic Thunder, watch it, Tom Cruise is in the film, but he has a fairly small part, and even me who dislikes him can absolutely say that his performance is a damn masterclass.

I didn’t even recognize him the first time I saw the film.

Tom Cruise - but damn, his performance in Tropic Thunder is a masterclass.

The first time I saw the film, I didn’t even recognize that he was in it.

I don’t know, but annoyingly my wallet/keys/phone tends to always be in the last place I look.

They would have their people set up a trust fund for you, or they would have their people transfer the money to you.

This is not a problem you need to consider in this situation

4, I am known to be reluctant to adopt new technology, IE, I don’t want to be a betatester.

They are first cremated, and at leat when my grandad died, the ash was placed in a biodegradable urn, so I’ll assume it just biodegrade when the next guy is going in.

When a new version came, I upgraded

100% Vanilla world, no extra tools or mods

Minecraft, holy shit, I have a singleplayer, creative world that I spent hours every day building on for 8 years or so.

That map is gigantic, and I even saved it from a hard disk crash

Most people here are cremated, I also remember the urn my grandfather was buried in was biodegradable so after 25 years there is nothing really left.

I don’t know if everything is broken into 25 years, or so, that is just what I read on the Chruch of Sweden’s website.
