Are you just lazy? Apart from not being up to date with common ecosystems (which I'd expect when doing anything web), look at the Getting Started:

Getting started ->Installing with Vite ->Installing with PostCSS ->Installing the CLI ->Upgrading from v3

At the bottom of the CLI paragraph it says "You can also download standalone builds of the new CLI tool from GitHub for projects that don’t otherwise depend on the Node.js ecosystem."

They just put the most common stuff at the top, because that's what most devs will use.

"In the United States, cocaine is regulated as a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning that it has a high potential for abuse but has an accepted medical use. While rarely used medically today, its accepted uses are as a topical local anesthetic for the upper respiratory tract as well as to reduce bleeding in the mouth, throat and nasal cavities.", from Wikipedias cocaine page. I remember septoplasty surgery using topical cocaine for example.

Why? Lead solder doesn't evaporate. The risk was always in recycling and maybe eating without having washed your hands. But you don't breathe in the solder, only the flux (which is even more toxic in lead-free solder applications).

> I wholeheartedly agree and support this notion and I sincerely hope it will be signed into law at once.

Why would you invert innocent until proven guilty for this particular matter but not others? And how exactly would the accused prove themselves innocent? Not having to prove an assault occured means that anyone could accuse anyone without reprimand.

EDIT: I agree that there's a problem in society and sometimes law regarding cases like in the other post, where the jury sees clear evidence and pretends like "it isn't rape because she had a short skirt" etc, this is obviously wrong. But for cases where it's testimony against testimony, the only realistic approach is to pressure the perp until they admit to it. I don't see how the opposite would be viable.

t-online told me I needed an imprint on the website that's reachable under my domain. Seems to be some misunderstanding of German law (German commercial websites need an imprint, legally, but t-online also apply this requirement to private domains).

Wind farms often get turned off because there is too much Wind, solar is also often throttled. There is a lot of "lost" power that could rather find its way into batteries or H2-electrolyzers.

Wood-eating bacteria already exist and we use wood as a material for many things. It's not like such bacteria just spread from breath, like covid-viruses...

Is this abysmal quality of figures and charts normal? I'd imagine the devices used for measuring allow exports of CSVs and thereby enable external generation of proper figures instead of these pixely-screenshot-type pictures...
