To have on my ventoy stick

Sure, but while this ISO is only 580MB, you can do the same thing with a regular/full live distro ISO by booting it and installing GParted into the live instance, if it's not already available. I did this the other day using a Linux Mint 22 (Cinnamon) image I already had on my multi-boot thumb drive. So this is useful, but (probably) not essential.

Guessing they're already available in some inexpensive food or supplement, but they haven't figured out how to turn them into an expensive, prescription-only product yet, that, of course, people will have to take daily. #cynical-but-probably-true

The plan is to build 130. What can we conclude from this?

None of them will block the view from Trump International golf course in Aberdeenshire, Scotland?

(History: Trump claimed an 11-turbine off-shore wind farm blocked the view from his golf course, sued, lost and was ordered to pay $290,000 (U.S.) in legal fees, that he, of course, initially refused to do, then did (as far as I can tell). Google: trump golf Scotland wind farm.)

While China's CO2 output is the highest globally, per capita its output is just over half of the US. That's even without considering that much of China's output is as in this article, manufacturing pollution imported from other countries. The bill for this pollution should fall on the country that consumed the manufacturing output.

How often do the switches fail by switching to CUTOFF? And what's the probability of two switches mechanically failing simultaneously? It seems like an astronomically low probability event. Even one switch turning to cutoff by itself would be a big fucking deal .. and the premise here is that two switches failed within one second of each other?
