Counterpoint, Kagi is profitable and it achieved that milestone solely via user subscriptions, so its incentives are aligned with users, and not advertisers.

And I've found it so good that I haven't used Google, except by accident, in the past 18 months.

If you remember the account details to log in to the account which uploaded that video, you can go to https://studio.youtube.com, click "Content", and under the 3-dot menu for each video you can click "Download" to get Youtube's copy of your video.

Hoping that helps. Otherwise, you might try something like https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp.

Drivers need to do a better job following the conventions and laws of the road. The number of times that a driver has merged into my bike lane to make a right hand turn without checking over their shoulder (or merging into me on purpose, if they're in a killing mood) is (metaphorically) uncountable. And no, only checking your mirror doesn't count! You reduce your blind spot if you actually turn your head, which is why you have to turn your head in your driver's license exam!

I have been pushed off the road by a Tesla merging into a right turn lane -- a vehicle with a million sensors that should have been screaming at its driver. My friend, who was on a bicycle and following the conventions and laws of the road, was killed by a driver making a right hand turn.

Many states (in the US) have minimum safe passing distances required for drivers to adhere to when passing a bicycle. Maybe 90% of the time (anecdotally, in very liberal-leaning, bike-heavy areas of the Bay Area in California!) they don't. And so in return, we take the lane (as we are permitted to do, by law), and pissed-off motorists try to kill us.

To be fair, you're comparing the amount of CO2 "produced" by the electricity generation of 1 kWh but your 2.37kg figure of CO2 from gasoline does not include CO2 generated from production of the gasoline in the first place, which would be necessary to do an apples-to-apples comparison (of just the "energy source generation/consumption" CO2) [0]

Loft Orbital deploys space infrastructure as a service, providing rapid, reliable, and simplified access to space. We have two satellites currently in orbit, with many more slated to launch in the next couple of years. With satellite buses in inventory and quarterly launches booked, we deliver customer missions to space in months, not years. We shield our customers from the complexity of a space mission by handling the mission as a service.

Come help develop satellite ground software (mission control software! exciting!), satellite flight software, or payload software! Build the space and ground segments of what is truly an industry-first space-infrastructure-as-a-service offering.

We love: Python, GraphQL, Kubernetes, gRPC, Django, Cue, C++, Rust, Linux, device driver writers, firmware authors, ARM / RISC-V / PowerPC / LEON folks, kernel contributors, & people who want to simplify the complex problem that is space infrastructure. Prior space experience helpful but not necessary!

We are: $140 million Series B led by BlackRock, a space startup with proven flight heritage, thoughtful, experienced, friendly, eager, and driven.

We have: other open roles if you've got something else in mind--Electrical Test Engineer, Senior Mechanical Engineer, Satellite Program Manager, Senior Systems Engineer, and more!

We pay $50/mo for (up to) 10 Mb/s down, 1 Mb/s up (that's megabits, so just over 1 MB/s down, and 0.125 MB/s up). Our only alternative is bundled service from Comcast that's $130/mo not including fees (at up to 300 Mb/s, with a 1TB data cap).
Play very slowly through the piece at least a couple times every time you practice. So slowly that it's hard to discern what piece is being played.

Repeat the same process when you have your piece memorized. Then play your piece from memory but hands alone. You will build up the muscle memory required to keep the piece in your fingers, rather than your head.
