It tastes like death and I love it.

It’s often used as the name for ammonium chloride on black licorice. The ammonium chloride also makes a great soldering iron tip cleaner!

I eat them all the time because I have a fucking problem, but I don’t enjoy it.

Aah, like salmiakki (salty licorice). Tastes terrible, but I just can’t stop eating them.

CPU doesn’t have any secure storage, so it can’t encrypt or authenticate comms to the TPM. The on-CPU fTPMs are the solution, the CPU then has the secure storage.

Motorola Razr IIRC. First smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S.

I’m the same way. I’m happy with my life, overall, but of course there are improvements I could make. There is pleasure in achieving something long striven for, and there is displeasure in the striving. More money would achieve some of the things I want more quickly, but none are critical so the balance is better with a longer wait and lower stress.

There are SUVs bigger than the Suburban.

RF circuits are the same core principles filtered through black magic and the Laplace domain.

Also (for the same reasons) Torx heads don’t have to be as deep for the same torque as an Allen. More space efficient.

Yep, it reduces cam-out. Not very well, but it does better than a slotted screw made by a drunk apprentice with a dremel being torqued with a flat-head prybar. Torx, Allen, and Robertson all reduce cam-out far more, but Phillips still sadly get used in new products.

Yeah, not disagreeing there!

Gravitons are the name for the quanta of the (hypothetical) quantum gravitational field. They’d be the force carriers of the gravitational force in a theory of quantum gravity, if we had one.

Gravitational waves would still be physical waves like water waves, and they’d be composed of moving gravitons. Spacetime would likely be quantized instead of continuous; this becomes very hard to resolve since quantum mechanics needs to be reformulated to use discrete math instead of calculus, and we don’t really know how to do that (non-uniform spacetime breaks QM).

Wave/Particle duality of quantum objects (quanta) is a bit like bicycle/car duality when looking at motorcycles. Light isn’t a wave or a particle, but it has properties of both. Motorcycles aren’t pedal-powered bikes or cars, but have properties of both.

There are no particles, just quanta.

Murphy’s Oil Soap for wood floors.

Yep, providing exemptions for vehicles under the weight threshold where a commercial driver’s license is required is dumb.

Yep. If exemptions required a CDL there would be far fewer exempt vehicles being made.

DoH looks identical to normal website traffic. If it’s slow, it’s probably the DoH provider and not the ISP.

You mean SNI, not ESNI. ESNI is the Encrypted Server Name Indication that gets around that, though the newer ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) is better in many ways. Not all sites support either though.

Same. I’d rather pay than have advertising.

If you heat carbon in a vacuum, it sublimates straight to gas. If you heat it under extreme pressure in an inert gas atmosphere, then it can melt. Unfortunately creating such pressures in the lab is only possible with diamond anvil presses, which are themselves carbon and thus tend to sublimate from the heat, resulting in pressure vessel failure. Doing the experiment on the surface of a neutron star would work, but presents some other difficulties.
