I’m using my old Nokia to this day. And why? Because “suddenly being stopped even after a few feet” wasn’t “difficult to mitigate” for Nokia. In the last 15 years this thing must have survived more than 100 drops, sometimes down a staircase. When I pick up the back cover, the battery and the SIM card, it’s as good as new.
Good luck finding any nontrivial law that applies to each and every instance of a human construct. “Money can be exchanged for goods and services” until you show up at a store with 10 kilograms of 1-cent coins. A single violation (or even many) don’t mean the underlying law (or rule or principle or guideline or whatever ‘less strict’ version you want to call it) is bad.
Newton’s gravity is wrong. There’s no arguing about that. But still every middle-schooler around the world learns it because it is ‘good enough’ in all but extraordinarily special cases.
I do worry about the temperature because I don’t like the smell of burnt dust. Also the coating of my table starts decoloring if my laptop sits on it at peak temperature. All that would be avoidable if the fan controls would just raise the fan speeds sooner.
I don’t know of any modern paste that is electrically conductive
I wasn’t trying to imply that. When I said “frying the chip” I meant through bad thermal coupling.
contrary to the old belief, you can’t use too much.
You’re the first person to suggest that, and frankly, I find that counterintuitive. Everything isolates if it’s thick enough. However I’ll also look into that someday and see if there’s something to it. Thanks again.
I used to have trust in the peer review process, thinking this is why it takes months or years for a paper to get published. Are you telling me it’s not real?

After watching Lower Decks for 3 seasons and going back to TOS, I’m thinking about watching some of the middle entries. What are some of the meaningful differences between them. In other words: What should I watch?
At one point during the interrogation, the investigators even threatened to have his pet Labrador Retriever, Margosha, euthanized as a stray, and brought the dog into the room so he could say goodbye. “OK? Your dog’s now gone, forget about it,” said an investigator....
I watched this video a few years ago. You can tell its age, but I found it very enlighting. In it a lawyer explains why you should never talk to the police even if you’re innocent:
Sadly, I cannot remember which YouTube video featured this: But a guy basically speedran the description of how to solve a quadratic equation the Babylonian way, that is, drawing squares and circles and shit. It took quite a while for him just to list the steps. All that disappears once you learn the formula with the bad, scary letters.
That might depend on the police force (i.e., state) we’re talking about. My colleague told me that when he hit a deer and called the police with the deer still lying around, they just shot it.
