I wasn’t meaning for it to be calling out so much as attempted humorous way of misunderstanding / literally interpreting your post 😅

I’m still not fully sure what you mean though. Does “root” mean VPS here (a system which you have root access to), and “tld” a domain name or even the DNS server for it?

Thank you! I’m going to take a look :)

Which root server letter did you get assigned?

The Martian is my favorite book and the movie was surprisingly close! Very well made.

Do you have recommendations for a fellow fan? I haven’t seen the middle two you mentioned, are either of them similar in style? Like in the nerdy, clever ideas, positive vibes, collaboration, and plausible physics type of way

I have Toothless on a t-shirt and so few people recognise it it’s crazy. Not even the kids these days! I love that character so much

I’ll also take autonomous. No, a horse with umbrella doesn’t count!!

My school’s motto was “think bigger”

Having a school of birds lift you off to work on Halloween would be a thing I’d splurge on

How can you test drive a stick shift without knowing how to drive one? Didn’t you have a driver’s license?

I have no idea besides that was a stick shift with 4 wheels. Is this something people normally care about?

It’s not trying to constantly charge though. Look at the power draw of any phone, there’s a cut-off point where the battery management system says “enough is enough”. I recently noticed in own testing that this lies beyond 100% for a few phones that I tried, but it’s very clear when it e.g. drops from drawing 0.2A to 0.03 and it scales with things like turning on the screen or running a game. It isn’t charging then, it’s just driving the device. If the charger isn’t sufficient, it’ll draw from the battery and, when that gets below BMS’ threshold, will charge again. Many modern phones can also be set to 80% to reduce battery stress further. The types of batteries in smartphones cannot safely go without a BMS

One would have to actually do a study to know for sure but it works the same in laptops and there we know people leave them on chargers routinely, sometimes also for the decade that they use the device. My experience with that is that some batteries degrade rapidly, others seem good as the day they were created, seemingly not correlated with how you treated them. But my sample size is too low; of course from science we know that it does matter. Just not so much that it’s a matter of months (much less weeks) before it fails. The odds of it failing in your pocket in the 3 years before are not much lower than it failing in the 3 years subsequently on a charger, especially if you don’t let it get hot (good ventilation)
