I don’t mind seeing vids with small numbers (many are genuinely cool) but I avoid 500k and above (except music) because the mainstream is mostly clickbait.

And yes, we use switches but the lower network layers abstract that away and a LAN is still like a single bus on the network layer and up.

It’s a joke, note the conflation of port (physical connector) and port (one of 65536 virtual pathways for applications). Also, HTTP(S) (port 80 or 443 by default) is literally “Hypertext Transfer Protocol” so it’s fair to say it was designed to carry HTML.

What is the <--> port for? HTML? I thought that was port 80 or 443…

It’s an LLM, for fuck’s sake. Are they just going after buzzwords? I don’t want to talk with the car about what the best (paying most for Google Maps placement) pizzeria around is, I’ll decide that before the cab arrives. Just let me pick the address or coordinates in the app and shut up.

Very good explanation! The wording varies, in Czech and German it’s like “consume by” and “can be stored at minimum until”.

A store in my country once had an apology sign on display saying something along the lines of:

Some products in [this section] on sale [this year] were labeled with a “Sell By” date. According to [this EU directive], such a date is identical to the “Best Before” date. This has been fixed and we apologize for any confusion."

I have no idea how the “mistake” happened (normally, no food items share packaging between Europe and other continents) but I’m glad they got it sorted. The “Sell By” bullshit causes industrial-scale food waste by US supermarkets. Here, items about to pass BB are marked down by about 30% instead, and mom-and-pop stores usually have a discount shelf dedicated to past-BB items at 50% or higher discounts.

Well then, Ohio’s fucked. I should have believed the memes.

Depends on a lot of factors. When I consider grocery prices in the Czech Republic, our food safety standards, sick leave conditions and healthcare costs, I’d say I might get food poisoning 0-2 times in my life for $25 each while saving at least $30 per year.

Dry and sealed, it can last decades. Honey can last centuries but will usually expire after 1 year for legal reasons.

The risk is worth it, I will probably never get food poisoning (as long as I’m careful when foraging) and I’m healthy overall so my body would take it well. I can’t imagine store-bought food pushed to less than +50% of its shelf life with no signs of decay will do permanent harm. I guess a week off work can be a problem if you’re in America? I feed old food to chickens instead if it goes stale or unappetizing so I never really waste any anyway.

Pasta, 12 years. Yoghurt, 1 month.

It is wasteful, the expiration date is very conservative. You can push it 20% or more for sealed, correctly stored items. Just check for signs of rot or mold. Food waste is a serious problem in first and second world countries.

This is a serious thread. No jokes and off-topic comments.

Gathering is the hard part but I’m afraid just making raw ore and water into rockets and fuel would use more energy than what we are using today, just to offset the current waste output

There is no such thing as “outside earth’s gravity pull”. You can compensate with “centrifugal” force but you’ll need to position the point of mass in geostationary orbit and hang the rest of the structure off it (idea known as space elevator). However, there is no material whose tensile strength will support its own weight at this length. Steel cables max out at a few hundred meters at surface gravity.
