Imagine the mind blowing privilege of not just having a separate home office, but having being able to design it to yoru exact specifications with a window facing north, and telling people to "just add windows". Some people on here are so out of touch.

You're overstating the importance of Apple outside of the USA. No one I know uses Apple Messages.

Other countries have campaign financing and spending limits for very good reasons, but Americans seem to be totally fine with elections being financed by special interests??
Good luck with your strawberry tree
God this is such an insufferable post from someone who simply refuses to believe that they can be wrong.

Re:Goldman Sachs invests $250M in compressed air energy storage on Wednesday January 12, 2022 @02:26PM (#29911632)
Air tools defintely don't have more torque than electric tools, they rely on speed to overcome their shortcomings in torque. The main high torque application in air tools is in impact wrenches, which use very fast hammering action. Modern battery impact wrenches can match the performance of the best air wrenches.
