Index cards, in a real card catalogue; or in software, like Scrivener, seem to be a decent compromise - if one can’t construct, and use a graph database, for home use!

It’s not total bullshit, whatsoever. I’ve known a good few Muslims, who would not use alcohol, as either a disinfectant, or topical liniment - due to their Wahhabi interpretation, of the Quran.

There’s a whole thread, from over a decade ago, on a Kung Fu forum, where a “revert” went into depth, about why he could not purchase, or create a bruise liniment, from ethanol, because he claimed it went against the Quran. This despite the fact, the end product would be highly poisonous, and thereby de facto denatured…

I’ve also trained with people, who would only use liniments made from vinegar, as the base, for similar reasons.

So yes - some Muslims, will not use any alcohol products, whatsoever, for any reason!

The latter period of the G5, were water cooled, IIRC. They suffered from problems due to corrosion, though.

It’s not a very specific term, at all - and is dependent upon context - per the first sentence, of the wikipedia article, you linked, stating:

> In electrical engineering, low voltage is a relative term, the definition varying by context.

The various standards, mentioned in that article, are in relation to “installations”, and power distribution. The standard in the UK (BS 7671), defines “high voltage”, as >600VAC difference between conductor(s), and earth.

A voltage greater than mains voltage, in any item of domestic electrical equipment, is absolutely “high voltage”. Hence why valve amp power supply terminals, are considered high tension (HT, i.e., high voltage), despite not exceeding the threshold, claimed in wikipedia.

The reality is, it’s not complicated to add HTTPS, as a feature, so there’s no good reason as to why it’s not implemented - aside from incompetence, or trying to save money, on staff?!

The software world, might be better served, however, if programmers slowed down, and engaged their brains, before bashing keys. I’ve solved most of the difficult problems, in my programming life, in the bath - where I can allow my mind to wander, and come up with the best solution.

Why not simply use something stable?!

I personally don’t understand why people think such glib, throwaway comments, are helpful. They always strike me, as lacking any foresight.

How many abstractions, on the core tool, are required, to force its stability over time? What happens if poetry introduces breaking changes?

Many years ago, I remember using a utility called: privoxy, on Linux/Unix, for that very purpose. No idea if it’s still viable, but thought I’d mention it, in case you’re serious?!

Industrial - or old school, Hoovermatic twin tub, where you can choose the exact length(s), of your wash/rinse - albeit, by babysitting it.

Even with Dualit, I would still only purchase from a professional catering retailer. Just in case, there’s any differences, and the fact that purchasing from a professional catering retailer, implies a greater level of longevity, if it ever did breakdown - for potential small claims court, reasons, in the future.

Regardless, Dualit also pretty much make every part of their toasters replaceable, for this exact reason. Hence why I think it’s one of the only decent toasters, out there!
