Preaching to the choir here. ;] To be specific:

- RO for drinking water and icemaker for most people. Fancy: Bathroom faucet RO needs additional piping, pump (sometimes), and a larger tank.

- Whole house filters (3- to 5-stage carbon) provides a belts-and-suspenders check on tap water quality.

- Cation exchange (salt consuming) water softeners where applicable. Soft water feels good in the shower and improve laundry efficiency. A house's exterior and kitchen cold water ideally should be plumbed with filtered hard water, bypassing water softening for irrigation.
Draft mode usually entails both lower quality for speed and less ink/toner usage. But you don't need to sacrifice both.

Try going into the Admin settings of the printer - usually via the admin web interface of the device - and look for Print Quality/Density settings. You can set the printer to use even less toner/ink than Draft without having to sacrifice legible quality. So you'll be able to print in good quality while using less ink. And you can set it to use even less ink than Draft mode usually does.

One of my most favourite recursive acronyms is XINU which stands for "XINU Is Not Unix". The delightful thing about this acronym is that "XINU" is also the reverse of "UNIX".

Upon a closer look, it turns out that for a given word W, a recursive acronym proclaiming that it is not W while simultaneously being the reverse of the word W, we need W to be of the form W = "?NI?" where each "?" denotes a distinct letter. Some fictitious examples:

* ANIL ⇒ LINA = LINA Is Not ANIL.

* KNIT ⇒ TINK = TINK Is Not KNIT.

Words of the form "?N?" also work if we are happy with a contracted "is" in the acronym. In fact we can get circular recursive acronyms in such cases:

* ANI = ANI's Not INA ⇔ INA = INA's Not ANI.

* ONE = ONE's Not ENO ⇔ ENO = ENO's Not ONE.

Both acronyms in each pair refer to each other thus making them circular while also being the reverse of each other! These could be useful names to express friendly banter between rival projects.

> The data is physically, permanently etched into the media

This is hyperbole. Conventional Blu-Rays recordables and even M-Discs do not work this way, they work via phase change in an inorganic compound (or cheaper versions use organic dyes). Etched into the media makes it sound like a pressed product, which it is not, but that is another thing that needs to be considered: the substrate is not impervious to breakdown.
These are also subject to QC problems.

There are very few suppliers of actually worthwhile Blu-ray media, and it is difficult to sort out what is real vs marketing mumbo jumbo.

In any case if you need reliable optical backups you should be testing the burn quality. Many don’t do this, but then how do you know the disc has sufficient signal margin? This is specialist knowledge, which is why let’s be honest, most home users are going to best be served outsourcing this to a 3rd party. Perhaps make some Blu-ray’s as a supplement, but it is too easy to overstate the reliability of any one backup method, or losing sight of the big picture for one simple solution.
Joe average home user should be considering a 3rd party service and even nerds can use tarsnap or something.
Backup and preservation are systems, not a method. People underestimate the difficulty, effort and expertise, “home” users suck at it (as they should), most people need to outsource it. It doesn’t matter that the Blu-ray has 1000 years theoretical longevity if you burned garbage, and just getting people to the 10 year mark is tough. The only reason shorter time horizons are reliable is because of the massive uptake of cloud storage.

Blu-ray’s have their place I agree but it’s limited as a primary backup.
I can't find it, but I think pg also said something like "when you're 20 if you're not doing bad you feel good. When you're 50 if you're not doing good you feel bad."
How much business do you lose when that single drive fails and you have to tell your customers you lost their data? There’s a baseline cost to managing arrays of disks and the software which runs them, keeping everything patched, paying for the building and power, answering support questions, etc. The reason this can seem massively cheaper on your own is that you aren’t paying yourself wages or rent, or otherwise dealing with the cost of spending your time juggling disks rather than doing something else.

Use a different sediment pre filter that those cheap-o ones. It's just to prevent fouling of the rest of the system should serious sediment or scale come down the pipe.

For a final filter, it's a good idea to use a specialized filter for chemicals of concern, typically heavy metals and/or chloramines. (Example: https://matrikx.com )

NSF polypropylene should be studied more but I doubt it is a significant source of microplastics. Although, I wished pressurized residential RO systems could be 99% stainless steel or something else inert and easy to clean like thick borosilicate glass because PP does stain. It's important to use NSF listed / FDA compliant (CFR21.177.2600 A-E) O-rings and lubrication rather than random junk from Amazon. Any "water filtration" system that doesn't use RO or significant water pressure is only for taste and not a filtration system.

> Apple's headset isn't VR at all

Yes, it is VR, no matter how much Apple wants to avoid saying that.

Ray Dalio has weighed on exactly your question. This is a 45 minute video that directly answers exactly your question, that is very much worth a watch:

The extremely quick version is that wars happen when am empire is in decline, not when they have collapsed, so we are still salvageable, but only if we get a handle on income inequality.

He would say that Pax Americana has not collapsed yet, but that it is definitely in the process of collapsing.

He asserts that the main identifier of empire decline is income inequality which is fueled heavily by inflation which was enabled by the abandoning of the gold standard (Have you seen that WTF happened in 1971 meme? Abandoning the gold standard is what happened. https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/).

When the rich get richer because they are the main winners of inflation, they start gutting institutions that can threaten their entrenched power (such as infrastructure, R&D, and most importantly education -- "we don't want people who can critically think, we want people who know how to perform a task" -- there's a move from liberal to technical education) which results in less innovation and therefore waning military strength and adaptability. As a militaries strength falters, the use of the American petrodollar for trade becomes less appealing, which would ultimately stop you from living beyond your means by powering yourself with debt/inflation. As soon as quality of life drops, civil war/revolution/civil unrest becomes much more likely, leading to inability to project power, leading to definite loss of reserve currency status, which definitely leads to "collapse."

Ultimately, if we do not tax billionaires to pay for social programs (namely public education) Pax Americana is guaranteed to collapse and WW3 will be that much more likely.

Billionaires having too much power in America is the political issue that matters. It's why Russia went in to decline (Ukraine is a result of Russia's decline), and it's why it's obvious to just about any working (as opposed to "owning") American that we are in decline.

Trump won't just end constitutional rule and rule of law, he will stoke civil unrest and directly work to undo NATO and therefore Pax Americana, which will ultimately end the US dollar as reserve currency, which will definitely lead to collapse. This will achieve Russia's main geopolitical goal. Secondary goals, such as balkanization (Texit, Civil War II, Cascadia) become more likely when America defaults because it can't inflate itself out of poor budget management.

The "original" is Ursula K. Le Guin's spin on a passage from William James:

Or if the hypothesis were offered us of a world in which Messrs. Fourier's and Bellamy's and Morris's utopias should all be outdone, and millions kept permanently happy on the one simple condition that a certain lost soul on the far-off edge of things should lead a life of lonely torture, what except a sceptical and independent sort of emotion can it be which would make us immediately feel, even though an impulse arose within us to clutch at the happiness so offered, how hideous a thing would be its enjoyment when deliberately accepted as the fruit of such a bargain?

who spun that from a piece by Dostoyevsky who described the dilemma he posed as referring to the doctrine of salvation through the crucifixion of Jesus.

Whether the short story by Le Guin, the extract from James, the dilemma as it appears in Brothers Karamazov, the sacrifice of Jesus on a cross, or any other variation told on the happiness of many at the cost of the suffering of one is a critique of anything as anything should be a matter of personal judgement.

> a worker owned economy - in which businesses are democratic institutions governed by the people who do the work involved

A few notes... another way to make the economy more worker owned is to have a a portion of the shares of companies held by public entities, which then use dividends for a basic income. Public investment in companies like this could also be a way of incubating industries.

Another note: the biggest problem with businesses being democratic institutions is the pace at which decisions can be collectively made. This is an information systems problem that can be solved by software. Instead of voting for representatives who make decisions, we need an institutional programming language, and people can vote directly on implementations of modifications to this institutional code that defines every institution. Votes are essentially approvals to a PR. No need for intermediaries to misinterpret voters' intentions.

I said why, because for capital intensive processes it's unrealistic to expect large groups of individuals to raise enough money to start them.

We do have Kickstarter, Go Fund Me, etc, but I don't think those have turned out to be great tools for raising a very large amount of money. And I am referring to large capital allocations towards a goal. I wish there was a better version of Kickstarter, but VCs seem like a better tool.

I'm just talking about capitalism and what ideal wealth distributions look like under a fundamentally capitalist system. I think America's system has lots of points for improvement, particularly on the side of worker protection from exploitation, wealth distribution, and campaign finance. But, I still think that we should have individuals wealthy enough to fund weird projects just because they want to. And in fact we should have more than we have today just with less extreme wealth.

What is it exactly that you are saying we should change? Everything? Please be specific.
