Activerecord may not give optimal solutions but it can get close enough for a lot of workloads, and complicated sql can become a complete bear over time.
Bears are an example that shows very clearly it's normal for animals in nature to become very much "not lean" to survive, and the drive to put on fat stores is probably much broader in nature than animals that hibernate to survive winter.
What's unique about humans is that we've engineered our environment to the point that most of us no longer suffer long stretches of being unfed or underfed to strip the excess fat stores off of us.
Some people are clearly better than others at fighting the behavior evolution has programmed into them. It's not good for them today, but at the same time that drive for survival is what kept their ancestors alive.
If pallets normally bring say $100 each but by letting the stroller lady consolidate the strollers into one pallet that she'll pay $250 for, everybody won.
My cousin and I had different cancers. Both of us had cisplatin. At the dose I had, my hair was gone. He hardly lost any hair and wasn't even that sick.
We also have drugs to offset the immune problems by sending your bone marrow into overdrive. My first cycle of cisplatin knocked my ANC to effectively zero. I was given additional meds on subsequent cycles and didn't have that problem again. (Said drugs are expensive and give you a special kind of bone pain that's hard to describe, so are apparently not given unless you have problems).
That's a pretty gross oversimplification. Chemotherapy isn't one thing, it's a whole range of cocktails of drugs given in different combinations and doses for different specific cancers (even different sub-types of cancers).
They do generally weaken it, but most chemo doesn't "destroy" the immune system at all.
Chemo drugs are brutal. I was just reading a study the other day that some testicular cancer survivors treated with cisplatin will have measurable, reactive cisplatin in their blood plasma 20 years after treatment. The stuff really is poison.
My understanding is that most "last mile" gas lines are pretty low pressure and low flow. On purpose, so that if theirs a leak they aren't releasing massive amounts of gas into the atmosphere in a hurry, so the concentration doesn't raise to dangerous levels.
Then when they are working on the lines and in those pits to make connections, they have detectors to tell if there's a dangerous build up, and ventilation to ensure it doesn't happen anyway.
The system generally being low pressure is why sometimes during really cold periods when demand is high, the gas company has to adjust field regulators to increase flow so that demand can be met. They normally run at low enough flow that if everyone's furnace and stove and water heater all run at once, the lines would effectively run out of gas.
Depending on how you measure, lots of states are flatter than Kansas. Florida is the flattest state by nearly all measures. Illinois is crazy flat as well.
On one hand, that gives me hope that we're getting closer to near-universal ISP support. On the other hand, it's been like this for so long I question if it'll ever improve.
How does it bother the outside world if there's metal shavings in a machine shop? They save and recycle those for - they aren't just dumping them in the street.
In a lot of cases, knowing better in the future only happens if we take the step today and learn that we don't yet know everything. If we never take the step now, we'll never have the future knowledge to do even better.
If the police already have you, calling 911 on accident probably isn’t a concern.
There's a lot of files running around with existing models for common projects, so you probably don't need to design your own enclosures a lot of the time unless you want to.
And printers have gotten cheap, like $99 gets you a jumping off point into the hobby.
Ecology problems aside, you need water at the higher elevations to operate the locks, and the lacks have to retain enough water to remain navigable. It's not practical to pump that much water up hill, so we're at nature's mercy for the water supply.
If there isn't enough water in the system to operating the existing locks, there's no point adding a parallel set to draw from the same limited water supply.
I have a bunch of Makita cordless tools (and IME, Makita was #1 for pros 10-15 years ago, not a niche brand).
Several years ago (2015-ish?) they changed up the battery shape a little bit so newer batteries wouldn't fit on older tools. It was to add another pin so the battery could tell the tool it was dead and quit drawing power (why the battery couldn't just cut power is beyond me). So (at the time) I had a drawer full of year-old tools that wouldn't work with the extra batteries I just bought.
As it turns out, you can file down part of the tool body and the new batteries fit old tools, but without the power protection. So they didn't end up in the landfill, but it's still hugely annoying.
I like letting most of my email land in my inbox, because I don't want to need to check (and purge a bunch of folders). But email of declining value will automatically get moved to folders after a certain amount of time. for example:
* Monitoring alerts go to trash after 4 hours (if it's still broken, I'll get more emails, after all).
* shipping notices from amazon etc go to trash after 3 days (long enough for the item to arrive on time)
* Notices from ups/fedex about "your item is arriving today" go away after 24 hours
* Marketing I don't mind seeing but has a shelf life - I have 2 or 3 time intervals setup for those
* Mailing lists I'd like to read (but often don't get back to) delete after 2 weeks
* Utility bills move to a folder for utility bills after 24 hours
etc. It's awesome - but oddly enough, nobody I ever tell about it gets that excited.
Yes, but, running a "yep, I can hear that" test is a lot less interesting and motivating, for most people, than being able to actually do something quasi-practical with the radio link.
