Jonsbo N1 is a pretty good case if the only thing you care about is getting a a small footprint as you can stand the case vertically.
Jonsbo N2 is a better more convenient case in a "cube" shape that feels smaller despite being similar in volume.
One of my builds uses an AM4 motherboard with unregistered ECC. With AM4 motherboards you're limited to any "pro" AM4 cpu, four SATA3 ports, and 2.5 gbe.
The other uses a used SuperMicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F with registered ECC. With the Supermicro board you're stuck with an old integrated Xeon with insufficient cooling but get dual 10gbe ports and six SATA3 ports.
Carl Sagan is an excellent communicator but he relies too heavily on literary tropes and popular fiction.
The issue of witchcraft is not unchecked beliefs, but the combustible mixture of politics and economics.
Early witches weren't old women performing secret rituals in dense forests. They were the bourgeoisie, who found themselves newly rich during a time of political and economic uncertainty.
The "Malleus Maleficarum" never caught on among the religious elite. Why would they care about the imagined threat of witches when Protestants were out in the open and gaining ground amongst all levels of society?
Where the book did catch on was amongst secular courts. The book provided a convenient justification for condemning political and economic opponents. There it was used to great effect.
For home use, you should aim for multiple sensors that can track temperature, humidity, CO2, VOC, and PM2.5.
CO2 is important to track as high concentrations can impact sleep quality and critical thinking ability.
VOCs is important to track as they are associated with asthma and allergic reactions.
CO2 can only be removed by opening a window.
Most VOCs come from household chemicals and are only removed by using lots and lots of charcoal filters as the HEPA filters in household air purifiers aren't able to capture it in significant amounts.
We will continue to have
pedestrian collisions until we start blaming those actually at fault: the politicians and engineers who design and build dangerous transit and automotive systems.
The dialogue could have used a couple more passes to be more subtle and cleverly written.
It is important to remember that Tolkien was like a British gentleman: well-mannered with a sharp wit. All of his characters have that same coloring to them.
Now, the artificial has intruded itself into the natural world. When I open the window of my urban apartment, the bird songs I hear have melodies like jackhammers and car alarms. The birds in cities now make the same sounds as the cities.
The natural world has adapted, and in doing so has become the same as the artificial.
If you can physically drive 50+ mph down a street signed for 25 mph then whoever built the road may have been thoughtful but they certainly weren't thinking about safety.
Signs and warnings rank very low in the hierachy of engineering controls.
The safest option would be to physically prevent vehicles able to travel at greater than 15mph from being in areas with children.
The next safest would be to redesign the street to prevent high-powered vehicles from being able to travel at greater than 15mph.
In the earliest iterations Tolkien imagined Middle-Earth to have steam punk technology. I believe it is because steam ships and rolling tanks are much closer to what Tolkien expierenced in the First World War when he first conceived his world.
I suspect over the course of his life Tolkien became more and more frustrated with technology, and removed most overt traces of it to bring his stories closer to what he read in Medieval folk lore.
Most of the new housing I see built are 5-over-1s. Giant 6 story apartment buildings built on already busy streets.
What California needs is flexible zoning to allow mixed-use medium density development connected by safe bicycling paths and public transit.
Too much space is taken by automobile parking and there is too far of a distance between places people live and the grocery stores, shopping areas, and gyms they frequent.
Without a source of magic they eventually lose their bodies and diminish into woodland spirits.
You can't have elves without magic and still have them be elves.
They literally disappear any place without some amount of magic.
