Luckily my wife has now acknowledged that my inner nerd/engineer will immediately jump to solutions and will preface the conversation with "i just need to vent" in those situations.

I see where you're coming from, but we also need to consider the mass of these vehicles, not just their speed. Person+bike at 50km/h vs pedestrian at rest means a roughly 1:1 split on the inertia after impact, and a pedestrian accelerated to 25km/h. Car at 50km/h vs person+bike at rest is a 1:10 or 1:20 split in inertia after impact, and rider accelerated to very nearly 50km/h.

IMO sharing a space with pedestrians is the lesser harm outcome if we cannot provide safe infrastructure which separates such vehicles from both cars and pedestrians.

I love that this is such a uniquely Australian machine that the records section includes an "outside of Australia" category.

Why not replace the dc-dc converter? Seems like a much simpler fix.

When will it be commercially available though? Supposedly Seagate has had 30TB drives out for the better part of a year, but I can't find anything larger than 24TB actually available for purchase.

Most hardrives live in servers, as part of storage volumes where IO can be optimised well beyond the capability of a single disk.

For the boot disk on my workstation I am absolutely using an SSD, but for the hundreds of terabytes of largely static data that I need to keep archived? Spinning disks all the way. Not only to SSDs need to match on price, but they also have a long way to come in terms of longevity.

If it is earmarked for purely defensive equipment, it still indirectly funds their genocide by freeing up other money for it.

My laymans assumption is that acupuncture likely has a counterirritant effect, which can make pain seem less pronounced.

Sort of like how punching yourself in the side of the head can provide relief for a migraine.

We already did this unintentionally during our natural evolution. All we really got out of it were a group of humans who can run slightly faster on average, and a group of humans who can drink milk as adults without shitting themselves.

I imagine the timeframe to get any noticable results would be in the thousands of years, even with deliberate selection for specific genes.
