Sad but true. Failed himan beings.

Sad but true. These people are stuck in the dark ages and want everybody else to get stuck there as well, preferably by force.

Exactly. Laws that criminalize stuff based on subjective judgments are just censorship. Prove significant harm in a scientifically sound way, ok. But this? No.

Dang! Nice info Sir! Didn't realize it was THAT bad. Aren't there ones you can work by hand for emergency use? Yeah, there are, for life rafts for ships and such. Can you get 800 PSI on a handheld tool?

There is nothing "informed" about AI.

It can only make some plausible extrapolations and it can make these less well than a competent human. All the current hype AI has brought us is texts that sound good but often are bullshit and now pictures that look sharp but are not. You know, better sounding or better looking crap. Still crap.

Visual hallucinations, essentially.

No, but I can read. You should try it some time. It is not even that hard, to you may be able to master that skill!

But in line with their overall product quality and respect for their users.

I moved away some years ago, when it started to just be annoying. Short-term thinking moron in control, obviously. Although all of Google is advancing in Enshittification, search is clearly the worst.

Refunding is really only for crappy games and ones you do not like from the start. Although, with a good reason you can ask for a refund later and I have done that successfully several times. Essentially what Valve does is pretty fair and pretty sane.

Indeed. Also, diamonds? These are almost worthless, except for scarcity. Well, having diamond-based grinding equipment is nice for some cutting jobs.

1. You have no clue what I think, stop assuming you asshole.
2. No, it is not.

I could see a combination of pumped storage with an RO setup - you have it hooked up to a large elevated water tank, so the RO runs off the gravity feed - no pump there. The pumps you do have are used to refill the elevated water tank, and only run when electricity is cheap (or at least run MORE while electricity is cheap).

Would that work?

Indeed. Rail done well amortizes over decades and centuries. Obviously, short-term thinkers do not need to apply. Same as with all infrastructure, really.
