There's an Expedition going on for the next 6 weeks in NMS. It's like a self-contained mega-questline. Start a new single player game and choose "Expedition". They give you lots of upgrades along the way and you'll see bases and messages from other players along the same path.

There will be metal parts on the microwave somewhere, and they will be properly grounded into the power socket. Maybe the back panel.

A fork in a pot is definitely not a grounded earth connection. The electrical circuit needs to go back to the actual planet Earth.

A copper cold water pipe coming into the house from outside is a good choice, as are ground terminals on electrical equipment.

Ah, I see you’ve played No Man’s Sky, too!

Look for something that’s Goodyear Welted. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_welt

They probably won’t be sneaker-style, but are much more repairable.

Do it! Start with The Real Thing, then Angel Dust. Both are fantastic.

Well, time to go watch Black Mirror again. You know, the one with the robot dog that hunts you, or the one with the quadcopters that kamikaze tap you on the head with explosives?

Ditching TCP/IP and defining a whole new protocol stack would require your ISP to have routers that know how to route this new protocol without IP addresses. Also, every router between the source and destination would have to support the protocol also. That seems like a huge hurdle. We can’t even get mainstream ISPs to support IPv6 in the last 25 years.

Unless the author intends to layer this on top of IP, which defeats the defined goal.

If you did this, you would be running your own “Internet” with only your own routers connecting to each other.

https://mbasic.facebook.com/ still works. It's missing some modern niceties, but usable. That's what I use for occasional messages.

Like Myst? I love those. Have you tried The Witness?

XTC - Dear God

Does it need to be online? If not, you could use LibreOffice.

Are you editing from the smartphone, or just viewing?

Would a wiki site with tables be suitable?

Potatoes in a Marwari Style by Madhur Jaffery

They are so good, and you can make them in an instant pot.

The full recipe is hard to find online, but here are some pointers.

If you search for "ocean of pdf madhur jaffrey instant indian", the first result should be a link to the PDF of the cookbook. Everything I've made from this book has been fantastic, so I recommend buying the book if you like this style.

In the Debian GNU/Hurd case it's even less practical due to the many limitations of Hurd and its primitive hardware support.

Given the Hurd limitations, Debian GNU/Hurd is mostly practical in VMs.

Debian GNU/Hurd is currently available for i386 and can build around 65% of the Debian archive.

Since the prior Debian GNU/Hurd release, APIC, SMP, and 64-bit support has improved a lot but is still a work-in-progress.

Debian GNU/Hurd has improved a bit over the past decade since last time testing it but is still very much limited and niche compared to Debian GNU/Linux.
