To add, there is something about those old 40s and 50s era technical films like you linked that is just so... I don't what exactly it is, but I find them fascinating and genuinely informative, even though they are explaining tech that is decades obsolete.
It's pretty awesome that they are still available 70+ years later in excellent quality!
I know this isn't exactly what you're asking, but after trying different sprays, coatings, and cleaners to keep my mirror fog free, the most foolproof way to deal with fogging is to deal directly with the cause: the mirror surface is cooler than the surrounding hot humid air, leading to condensation. Running the mirror under shower water for 5-10 seconds to warm it up before shaving has never failed me.
Just thought I'd throw it out there since the anti-fog coatings eventually wear off.
On the chance you're not aware, they do make a pretty cool little matching numpad. It's not quite as nice as having a full size keyboard (I wish they docked together with magnets or something), but for just over a hundred bucks all in, it's a decent compromise.

*ETA: I was basing the "just over a hundred bucks" on the keyboard having been $60 on woot for the longest time, but looks like they are sold out :(
That's honestly why they creep me out the most. Spiders will generally be chilling out in a corner somewhere you expect to see them, doing their own thing, and not moving much unless directly disturbed.
Most of my experiences with centipedes involves them darting out from under a baseboard at night and scaring the shit out of me when I'm only half awake. Then by the time I realize what it was, it's already scrambled across the floor to disappear under some other piece of furniture.
It's bit reductive to put it in terms of a binary choice between an average human driver and full AI driver. I'd argue it has to hit less pedestrians than a human driver with the full suite of driver assists currently available to be viable.
Self-driving is purely a convenience factor for personal vehicles and purely an economic factor for taxis and other commercial use. If a human driver assisted by all of the sensing and AI tools available is the safest option, that should be the de facto standard.
‘big tech rigged the election’
Isn’t Vance fully in bed with Musk, Thiel, Andreessen, and a cavalcade of similarly minded fash-brained techbros?
That's the G and the P in GOP. They are literally trying to rig the election with the help of a bunch of billionaire tech bros, but it's totally okay because "Democrats did it first"
And since the last election was over 1,000 news cycles ago, nobody will question whether that's actually what happened.
Better a damaged roof still attached to the house than a roof strewn a mile and a half downwind.
I had to google what "387th Penny" meant. Apparently "penny" is short for "penetration flight". So this was his 387th flight into a hurricane

Unless I'm thinking of something else, I'm pretty sure I had a tank tread "robot" set with a module that you could program really commands into, and then have them execute them in series.
Go forward, turn right move backward twice, make a bunch of funny sounds and blink some lights, etc.
That set was cool as shit.
If you are buying used datacenter drives, larger capacity drives are also likely to be newer, which tips the scales a little more in that direction.
Misgender them once and see how fast they decide pronouns are important after all.
