Ironically, it's probably a neruo-divergent person writing it though lol.

Oh, we're all acutely aware. Wouldn't stay here otherwise. Far too much turmoil and nonsense, it's tiring.

Very different grid, climate, and landscape.

True, but eletric overhead has significant upkeep and initial investment costs, as well as pure grid reliance. Batteries have significant weight, cost, and technical requirements combined with a relatively low lifeapan. Every energy system is going to have it's downsides. Hydrogen fits well in train use cases because they often rely on being able to fuel relatively quickly (low downtime means less expensive engines required), operate in areas with unreliable grids (urban through shipping), and it has a relatively low initial investment cost (about on par with regular diesel). Hopefully it would be generated with on-site renewables, but we'll cross that road when we get to it. Oh, and another thing people often forget about batteries is that once you account for losses in transmission, voltage conversion, and charging it ends up being significantly less efficient. I've been unable to find exact statistics for this in % though.

All the more reason to protect women's rights in this upcoming election. Senseless to degrade the value of half of society. Especially when they have proven time and time again that they can reach new heights.

I'd recommend against it. Apple's software ecosystem isn't as friendly for self hosting anything, storage is difficult to add, ram impossible, and you'll be beholden to macOS running things inside containers until the good folks at Asahi or some other coummity startup add partial linux support.

And yes, I've tried this route. I ran an m1 mac mini as a home server for a while (running jellyfin and some other containers). It pretty consistently ran into software bugs (less maintained than x64 software) and every time I wanted to do an update instead of sudo whateveryourdistroships update, and a reboot, it was an entire process involving an apple account, logging into the bare metal device, and then finally running their 15-60 minute long update. Perfectly fine and acceptable for home computing, but not exactly a good experience when you're hosting a service.

The only sector that might be worse is middle management data processing like the Healthcare sector. Doing a pointless job like that all day every day is soul sickening.

Theyre meant to deliver emphasis on the words so you don't read it all monotone in your head. For example maybe "wow, okay. RUDE" but all bold comes off as being too aggressive. I personally think it enhances the post. Also, if you can't handle them, down vote and move on.

Not to mention trains are a particularly good candidate for hydrogen fuel cells.

How we ended up with a 2 party system not based on the popular vote is so fucking beyond me...

Wait... You want us to pay humans? - Every triple A gaming company since 2010.

Part of this is Apple's fault. They were part of the head council of the Kronos group responsible for Vulkan, but chose to implement a proprietary graphics API (Metal) over just rolling Vulkan.... Developers obviously don't want to support an additional graphics library on top of what they already do (significant effort) so you lose a lot of games that would've been otherwise marginally expensive to port over.
