How are there no pictures or even links to pictures in the whole article?

It does not have an internal battery but can use any battery pack that can do 100W output.

I pre-ordered this for a few reasons. One, my experience with butane irons was very different than yours I guess. I hated how long they took and how finicky they were. Then I had to find a safe place to put it while it cooled. This has a cap that can handle the high temp with no issue.

When I need a portable iron it's to do small quick soldering with long waits in between. This seems perfect for that.

Nope, Trump is his parties verified candidate which happens at the convention. Dems have not had their convention yet so Biden was not officially the candidate. Semantics, yes but technically true.

The reason vscode is so popular is because it is far more efficient than the electron app it's based on. Atom was slow and the worst resource hog I've ever seen.

The plugin ecosystem and great built-in support for the most popular languages keep it popular.

The pictures do not do it justice. I have yet to see a picture that accurately captures what I saw. Seeing just the mass ejection coronas was incredible.

It was like everything else stopped existing for that brief few minutes. There were clouds in the sky but I luckily was in an area that was clear during totality. I've never seen anything like it and will certainly travel to see it again.

I thought that was just on steam? I at least couldn't find it on Android.

That is still just one specific measure. They will also have a specific definition of what they consider spam. What I have found, admittedly anecdotally, is that the results just don't answer the search anymore. The results aren't spam they just aren't good.

DDG did have better results in one major instance for me in figuring out an error message that Google gave me literally no results. DDG has several appropriate answers that LED me to a solution. I don't think that will stay the case overall but Google does need to do better.

I have almost exclusively darn tough socks now and have for over 15 years at this point. I do eventually get worn areas in them but I never let them get anywhere near this bad. A small section of padding worn out is enough for DT to replace them for me. My main hobby is backpacking though so they get used hard and often. I would guess they last somewhere around 500 miles per pair for the micro crews. The business socks are also nice but wear out faster.

I really liked the new Skrillex album.

It's not the sugar that makes the coffee taste bad. It's that they over roast it. Their medium is basically a dark roast.

That said, yes the bigger issue is what they have become as a company and how badly they treat their employees.
