Good point, I am not certain I have ever seen three way (smoke/CO/gas) combo detectors widely available. Usually they are two-way.

This is also true. I definitely would have more peace of mind with a FACP building than one with ad-hoc detectors. Just have to make sure the FACP actually has gas and CO detectors provisioned.

Smoke? Burn something. Gas? Hold an unignited lighter up to it. CO? Burn something in a low oxygen environment next to it :)

This stuff is important, take it from someone who had headaches for months before concentrations tripped a CO alarm and I found a blocked flue. CO detectors should be trustworthy, they just don't trip below 100ppm@90 minutes. Just make sure to replace them every 10 years. You can get a separate CO alarm from Kidde that will read out concentrations below trip point, or you can splurge for various CO sensors available. I recall seeing some Z-Wave ones that test for various indoor pollutants.

Yes, waste and poor stewardship of resources for threadbare rationale is just great!

Well, back in the days of static everything, some OSes had every system command be a hard link to the same binary (just switching on argv[0], like busybox) so they could still share library pages. This was a big deal when your workstation only had 8MB of core. But to answer your question, I'm sure we will find out in the next few years with all of the garbage containerization and packaging systems popping up.

Seconded. One of a literal handful of YouTubers I can even stand, doing God's work.

Just tell them how many Good White Americans™ living in flyover country make a living farming soybeans and watch their head explode.

Don't forget about capacitance. Longer distances == more capacitance to charge up on state transitions. This wastes power and puts a ceiling on how quickly you can switch.

Her wording is more powerful and less ad hominem, exactly how such a letter should be written.

edit: I think I understand what you are saying, and you're not wrong, either.

This letter is absolutely savage. Citations practically every other sentence, interleaved with abject trufax.

Because people think domain hacks are cool, and also, gTLDs are usually more expensive.

Idk, Donny's been pretty strapped lately. Maybe he can't scrape together the cash.
