You don't need to be dependent on trillion dollar time companies to get an extremely accurate time source. Just get your own GPS receiver that supports timing output. You can get an GPS-based NTP server for pretty cheap.
I've had an inexpensive GPS antenna "puck" on my roof attached to a 2nd or 3rd gen raspberry pi inside, providing accurate time to my home for over a decade. This is a sub-$100 project and very fun.
There's a big difference between the materials that's used for the sticker itself (paper, plastic) and the glue they used.
By now I have a good feeling about the "removability" of a sticker once i have it in my hand.
I sandwich them between my phone and a clear case now. Don't even have to take the stickum protector part off, so when you get a new phone, you can take your favorite stickers easily. Disadvantage: you get like 2 stickers total.
I buy a hard case, then put the stickers on that. Then I can pop it off if I need to be in a more "professional" environment or if I want to upgrade/sell it.
For me it was having to replace my MacBook's screen and loosing all the stickers in the process that made me realize I would loose any sticker used on a Laptop eventually.
I've been part of the crowd that said loud and proud that "no, video games aren't making you more violent, and aren't destroying your soul". But here we are with a whole list of people who report that it has had a negative influence on their driving etc.
Like everything else there’s obviously nuance in that discussion.
Is it harmful to have hyper-realistic, graphic depictions of violence fed into your brain for hours on end? What absolute moron would say “absolutely not” to that?
It’s ridiculous. It’s junk food for your brain. Yes, I like violent video games every now and then, I’m a well balanced adult. I enjoy in moderation.
Now take some kid who’s being pumped full of SSRIs since he was five years old because mommy and daddy didn’t want to spend time reading to him so they just shoved an iPad in his face. Is that “absolutely” the same calculation?
It doesn’t mean we need to legislate or get government involved in anything.
But, at least being honest about the nuance would be a good start. It has to be bad for some people. That has to be acknowledged.
too much of ANYTHING is bad for our plastic brains.
Too much religion, too much water, too much movies, too much food, too much air, too much sun , too much video games, too much sex, too much boredom, too much living.
the answer is not to take any of these things away, the answer is to be open and honest about them, reason about them and communicate freely.
What I don't understand is how the top reservoir is floating when filled with brine. Are the small floaters enough to hold it up?
Otherwise I love the fact that's simple. Simplicity scales.
It's also salt water, so assuming they're not putting anything else than NaCl, it can break and it's no big deal
Have some air at the top of the top reservoir, assuming that the top reservoir is at most about 10 m deep in water (to avoid damage from storms). Or have the air in separate chambers fixed to the top reservoir.
