That sounds like consumer BRD disks not what businesses buy to produce copies of a new movie they are releasing.

Good news, oil changes on electric cars are not a thing. Wiper blades, wiper fluid, air filters, rotate tires is about it. Maybe brakes and brake fluid at some point but haven’t needed it in over 5 years yet.

Only thing I’ve needed at the mechanic is rotate/balance tires and replace cracked windshield as I don’t want to own the equipment for that.

One other good method for secure distribution is supposed to be IPFS.

Doubt it unless combined with something like hydrogen peroxide.

How do you ensure the public key being used is the correct one? Server could get hacked or could get replaced when server requesting from the activity pub federated server. Worse than unencrypted (with everyone knowing this) is unreliable encrypted with everyone thinking it’s working as expected.

I think using activity pub as a public key exchange would be good, but it can’t be half assed.

Could the DEA’s interpretation of the Controlled Substances Act could be overturned, leading to changes of drug scheduling back to what was originally passed by congress?

Why does my mini fridge keep tripping my GFCI outlet? Is it a bad motor or is it just never good to put a compressor motor on a GFI?

Edit: Actually this comment made a lot of sense and is making me think through some things. Home run comes into the GFCI outlet first then daisy chains over to where the mini fridge is.

In the early days, humanity was in awe of the Earth’s bounty. They tapped into its veins, extracting oil and gas to power their machines and fuel their progress. The planet’s crust was mined for minerals, its forests felled for lumber, and its oceans ravaged for fish.

As time passed, the pace of extraction accelerated. The once-pristine air grew thick with pollutants, the waters became choked with waste, and the land was scorched by wildfires. But humanity couldn’t resist the allure of growth and profit.

They dug deeper, piercing the Earth’s mantle, releasing ancient carbon into the atmosphere. The planet’s temperature began to rise, but still they drilled, pumped, and mined. The warnings of scientists were ignored, their cries of “peak oil” and “climate change” drowned out by the din of progress.

One day, the Earth’s core began to slow its rotation. The magnetic field that protected the planet from the solar winds started to weaken. The once-stable atmosphere grew thin, allowing the harsh radiation to seep in.

As the planet’s lifeblood dwindled, the consequences became impossible to ignore. Weather patterns turned extreme, storms intensified, and droughts lengthened. The oceans, once teeming with life, began to boil away, their waters evaporating into the dry air.

The manetosphere, the delicate balance of gases that sustained life, grew weaker by the day. The solar winds howled through the gaps, stripping away the atmosphere’s protective layers. The surface temperature soared, baking the remaining life forms into extinction.

In the end, it was as if humanity had sucked the very essence out of the Earth. The once-blue skies turned a sickly yellow, and the air reeked of ozone and death. The planet’s final breaths were labored, its core now still, its magnetic field a faint whisper.

The last remnants of humanity huddled in underground bunkers, awaiting an end that was both inevitable and agonizingly slow. As the atmosphere dissipated, the solar winds ravaged what remained, scorching the barren landscape until it resembled the desolate wasteland of Mars.

In the silence, the Earth’s corpse lay still, a testament to humanity’s unrelenting greed. The once-thriving planet was now a husk, drained of its lifeblood, its beauty lost forever.
