There will most certainly be an after. Unfortunately, very likely not for a lot of us.

Use an inverter-controlled one and you'll be fine. Our emergency communications shelter runs off one of those just fine, with a cheap offline UPS in there.

Yes, those that control frequency using the engine rpm aren't that great for most switching power supplies.

My mother was born in a basement during the bombardments of Dresden while the house above them was burning. Her mother had barely made it out of the second floor with burning phosphorus running down the walls. At this point, my grandparents had been on the road for quite a while, narrowly escaping the Russian front, starting with leaving behind every single thing they owned at their farm estate in Silesia. They had nothing but their clothes on their back and they already experienced, that nobody wanted anything to do with the refugees from the east.

My inconveniences are mild, compared to that. They are significant for me, but historically, we're still at an all time high compared to our ancestors, unless you have old money in your bloodline.

Historically, people have made babies under much more dire circumstances and some of them made it through so we're here today. I don't feel like having kids either, I know, but I think this sentiment comes from a luxurious position.

Yes, but Nextcloud is being offered as a hosted service by various Providers. Not everybody even here wants to or can run their own services.

Just get hosted Nextcloud somewhere and DAVx5.

You could be more efficient and implement the memory of having watched it.

Oh, right, so we are all very dumb for not recognizing that and also op is very enlightened because he has already arrived at the conclusion that public transport is the only valid form of transportation while the rest of us still thinks that electrically driven automobiles (snort) might be anything of value.

Alright, imma head over to the designated corner of shame, see you guys over there.

Are you expecting someone to say "I never heard of those" so you can share some gem of niche industry knowledge with us?

Sigh. Alright. "I never heard of those".

It's just to make OP feel smart. A single driven axle with an open differential with one wheel on more slippery ground than the other would result in only one wheel transferring torque.

This - I'm in my forties, I have never suffered any of these conditions and I don't think any of my friends have either. What do you guys do to your bodies over there?

I rinse the empty bottle and throw it over the shower wall into the bathroom. Later, when I'm dry, I wonder why the bottle is lying around and - tadaa, entry on the shopping list.

It's the most interesting thing how overwhelming evidence will be ignored while the inner conviction will search for any confirmation of it's bias with a microscope. No jury would be as hard on any offender as we are on ourselves.

Neighbors' dog that you're taking care of for the week¹ works as well.

¹ no actual neighbors' dog required

Sometimes just because it feels good to do the right thing and isn't much effort.

I think so. I don't think how act in these cases is a moral principle, poured in concrete, but really depends on the expected long-term outcome. And if that doesn't work out, that's when the learning happens.

2.5x the price of PLA where i am

Yep, I usually print drafts in normal PLA and only the final part in the high temp stuff, but 2.5x is often still better than buying something if there's even a solution available. So, fine for me in edge cases.

It will hit whatever annoys him, his companies and that extends to everybody who kisses his ring sufficiently.

But yes, social and worker protections probably match that criteria.

I think he isn't getting a salary, apart from whatever gains he reaps by removing roadblocks for his companies.

I've always got a spool of high temperature PLA for that, good for up to 140°C.
