It is correct about when plate tectonics theory became mainstream consensus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_Tectonics_Revolution
Thanks, I see your point. My computers are usually doing something (running servers, long-running computations, backups, downloads, etc) or they are sleeping (ie, not running up the power bill). Boot time isn’t the tedious part of restarting, it’s restoring state that isn’t saved. Anyway, I always disable auto-updates because updates change things; I want to choose when things change.
I’m surprised your PC runs hot enough to cost you so much for A/C. I doubt my computers impact my power bill very much compared to appliances, heating, charging cars, etc.
Wait, why are “normal” persons shutting down their computer on a regular basis? I tend to avoid shutting down because restarts are a tad tedious.

4·8 months agoOn appeal, Carl’s case made it to the Supreme Court (Braden v. United States, 1961), which ruled that Braden’s conviction was constitutional, although this was later overturned.
This sentence is not correct, Braden v. United States (1961) was not about about Braden’s conviction for sedition in Kentucky. The Kentucky conviction was overturned in 1956. The Supreme Court case was about Braden’s conviction for refusing to answer questions before the House Un-American Activities Committee. This conviction was not overturned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braden_v._United_States

I noticed this when I rewatched TOS last year. In many instances it is becoming more visually jarring, as the 90s CGI is looking obviously dated.
