Does punctuation count towards character count on Twitter? Cause that could explain a complete lack of it

I see, the common "Americans will use anything but SI", but in this case it's also the Brits lol

Thanks for explanation

Since when 1000kg is not equal to one tonne?

It assists with refining your writing by rephrasing your sentences, modifying your tone, and tweaking the length of your text based on your preferences.

I don't remember when was the last time I wrote a full sentence in Notepad yet alone needed an Ai redaction. Because it's a fucking notepad! It's for writing notes not essays!

If you can't open 90% of pdfs sent from different sources then you're the problem

When you use Celsius from birth 41C does make you say FORTY ONE DEGREES?!!!

Try reading some current information on it.

Oh no no no, we don't play that game here. If you're trying to convince someone of your argument, the burden of providing reputable and scientifically accurate evidence is on YOU and you only.

And only if the other side won't accept scientific evidence then you can blame them.

I'm not saying cats can't be vegan but to the best of my knowledge their diet must be meat based. As it is you who are trying to convince me (and others) cats can be vegan, it is also you who must provide the evidence.

And capitalistic mass production with no respect for natural resources, aka intensive farming. Plants are grown in huge monocultures with little to no genetic diversity thus making them prone to what would naturally be limited issues like unfavourable weather or diseases

Maybe, if reviewers were paid for their job they could actually focus on reading the paper and those things wouldn't slide. But then Elsevier shareholders could only buy one yacht a year instead of two and that would be a nightmare...

Most people mention the costs of owning aircraft vs a sim, but there's another possible reason: health. People come in different shapes and forms and not everyone who loves aviation is able to get II or even III medical class. So flight simulation is their only option to be a "pilot".

I mean, on VATSIM (popular aviation simulation network) there's a group of visually impaired people who have made a special interface so they can fly an aircraft even though they can't see!

Simulation (of any kind) gives many people what they can't get in any other way. And as with any other hobby, as long as it's not damaging to other aspects of your life, let people enjoy what they want

I have ZBOX MI571 with an i7-6700T and 16GB (SODIMM) RAM laying unused. And I want to make a personal backup/archive server, for which I think TrueNas will work best.

The box has more than enough computational power for running TrueNas. But as far as I could find it has only one SATA and one M.2 SATA port, so not enough to have a boot-pool and a redundant storage-pool. And it doesn't have any spare PCIe ports.

So I'm wondering what's my best option here? Can the drives be somehow reliability attached through USB for example? Or will it be best to buy a used mobo and ram and replant the CPU? Or should I just sell the whole thing and build a server from scratch?

Okay, so I get the reason why NOWADAYS IRS can't tell you how much taxes you owe is lobbying. But how did it work BEFORE computers? Did you file your forms and IRS agents checked them one by one, and it was just most efficient to check taxes instead of calculating them? How did we get to the situation where the IRS checks the taxes instead of calculating them? I'm genuinely curious, because that's a recurring theme worldwide.
