The one im aware of uses deuterium, aka hydrogen2, to generate helium 3. One of the byproducts being tritium, aka hydrogen3. This means there's potential for 2 deuteriums to mix with an oxygen molecule,this creating ²H2O, aka heavy water.

I'm neither a chemist, nor physicist. So someone could probably prove me wrong at the drop of a hat, but Im calling it close enough.:p

Marketing: the end product just isn't right. We need to make it more fun. You know like a game.

dev: What are you talking about.

Marketing: There's this new thing called gamification. Let's do that.

Dev: First off thats not new, its been around for ages. Whatever, what are you even talking about?

Marketing: Yeah you know, make it fun! Give people awards for accomplishing certain tasks or reaching milestones. Lots of flashy lights and celebratory music. We do it in presentations and training all the time.

Dev: That's what xp, leveling, magic items, special skills, etc are. Your asking me to gamify a fucking video game?!?!

Marketing: Yeah exactly! Its gonna be awesome!

To be clear I don't think achievement s are bad. I don't personally care about them. This is just how I imagine the conversation went when they were thought of.

Tacos of a tortilla...

You forgot Israel... And I feel dirty even typing that...

Today for breakfast I ate chexmix, at around 2pm.

I 100% agree. my response was intended to be sarcasm about how full of shit they are. as if they only trick themselves into believing it in the moment and as soon as the moment passes so does their belief.

That isn't to say I think they actually believe anything they say. I foolishly thought the sarcasm was obvious, I should probably just add /s bt efault.

You can get rolls of the stuff that you cut to size too. Its amazing badaids suck anyway. Basically change your bandage any time you see a sink compared to go swimming in the ocean with tegaderm and still keep using the same one.

Is it a lie if you believe it at the time?

Don't worry, ai will maintain it...

Even then localy produced products may go up in price to just under the imported price to maximize profits even though there is no additional overhead.

I had a similar issue with a SAS drive In the backplane of a dell server. I thought for sure the drive was failing. Reseated it, cleaned the ports, ran some tests, just kept failing without any obvious signs why it was. Replaced it with a spare and same issue. That seemed very unlikely, so I put the old drive in another slot and its still running just fine going on 2 years without an issue. If you have another toaster give it a try.

The market is rife with cheapo junk tech. Ive seen several crapo off brand drive toasters fail, so thats possible. I don't know the brand of yours so I can't speak to them.

It could also just be the power supply for the toaster is crapping out, or doesn't provide enough amperage. Those power supplies dont always keep providing the same amount of power forever, sometimes it drops over time, and that could be the cause too. Or they could be poorly made, meaning they probably drop in even short time periods.

If you have another power supply with the same voltage and higher amperage, you could try that. You could also try running only one drive in there and see if it keeps failing, if no issues, you could try the other drive and see if that one has issues. If that one doesn't have issues either it could indicate power issues.

I think soc 2 type ii is nice, but I also don't think it really says much about privacy in the context of me trusting what a business will do with my personal data. its been 4 or so years since if done an soc audit, so please correct me if I'm wrong. From what I recall its primarily geared toward security in general and when they say privacy, they mean securing your data from use unauthorized by the business.

The distinction im making here is that, from what I recall, soc 2 type ii says nothing about what can be done with your data (e.g. selling data to brokers, training ai, targeting ads, unclear/communicated eula changes, etc.). During these, and most other, security audits you can make business arguments as to why you should be exempt from various security mechanism or configs. These systems also don't protect from techno fascist douchebaggery like feeding the government information on individuals without warrant or just cause, to assist in targeting minorities or activists for example.

To be clear, I use proton, I think its great, and MOSTLY trust them with my data. I do also like that they got soc 2 type ii, i wasnt aware till now so thanks for the heads up. I'm not accusing or trying to infer any wrong doing either. Mostly trying to point out this doesn't resolve potential abuses some folks may have concerns about after ceo/board member/whateverthefuckingtitleis drama.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk...
