Why can't both be accurate?

A fair number have reasonable driving ability but still drive outside it.

RAM's main advantage over HDDs/SSDs is fast access times.

Needing to fetch anything over the internet would make it faster to just use HDDs.

OP says horse chiros are basically PTs. I don't know whether to believe them or not, but the idea that you don't need to be a full vet to give a horse PT seems reasonable.

Physical therapists are not necessarily as qualified as doctors; they can do great work without needing the breadth of a full training. The same could apply to animal health.

It's electrical componentry, so conductivity and corrosion are a concern. Differential thermal expansion can also be an issue.

The lugs are aluminium.

The split bolts are copper or brass, tin plated for better corrosion resistance.

None of this is going to be found in a security camera (unless they've earthed it with fat conductors for some reason). It's high power gear.

Are there that many? How much wood are we talking per person per year?

Some of the articles I saw suggested that it was (at least historically) trimmings from hedgerows, which are too thin/green/wet to be useful for much else.

In a lot of places farmers burn piles of unwanted vegetation anyway.

I'm guessing they would ask you first (and the office would be slathered in Trump-Passport posters).

I am somewhat surprised it's not just a 'which one would you like'. I wouldn't have thought the logistical concerns would be that major?

As noted elsewhere, there's only 25-30k total being produced and only for people who apply in person in DC. You're not going to get one of these unexpectedly.

Bonfires apparently, at least in parts of Germany.

I don't see anything significant suggesting they're being discontinued. It's a relatively small amount of wood mass being burned on one day a year.

It appears that NY has a points system, and around 3-4 tickets in a two-year period should result in a disqualification: https://dmv.ny.gov/points-and-penalties/the-new-york-state-driver-point-system

Do these only apply to convictions before a judge, excluding camera-issued tickets? And no cop is willing to issue him tickets in person?

Firing him is one thing but he definitely shouldn't have a license.

Edit: I should have kept reading the article...
