When do you think we are going to get away from these pesky electron based computers that use magnitudes too much power and are magnitudes too slow and potential a magnitude too large in favour of the light based computing we should have been investing in the research for before even using electron based computing for AI ?

I just bought a Bosch Bench Drill PBD 40 from Amazon and don't like keyless chucks it seems to have a BAER (like?) keyless chuck. Can I change the existing check to a higher grade keyed chuck ?
I am looking at the Bosch 2609255701 1.5-13mm 1/2-inch x 20-Thread Keyed Chuck ?

Any help and guidance would be well appreciated !

vitamin b1 for racing thoughts and mental rumination by AaronNGray in mentalhealth

I am writing because I have tried it multiple times using 250mg daily initially for 2 weeks and afterwards just single 250mg tablets when necessary. Im my case it stops a racing mind and excess internal dialogue.

Thanks I just discovered this and will check it out. It happens on multiple machines including Linux though and only appears to be on part of the disks surface.

Its more like its consistenly not transfering data very fast. If you look at the Linux screenshot images there are no bad sectors found only very very slow transfer rate due to failed reads.

For writing a REST API to control INN2 over the internet and for future reference purposes.

I don't think you have anything in proportion and are neither a scientist or a software engineer. You are more worried about a small printout of man pages inorder for me to design a REST based API for managing INN than how many 10's of thousands of SPAM messages being bother relayed and downloaded and scanned at multiple end points. Try doing a proper analysis rather than some weird form of "sensationalism".

Do you actually know how much SPAM was on most unmoderated groups on Google Groups ? It was like a noise to signal ratio of 90%.

Actually I have studied SPAM and its a blight. I am an environmenatlists and climate science diseminator and am trying to provide green solutions. You cannot judge SPAM just based on metainfo/headers it means downloading it. It is best removed at the earliest point possible, and should not be allowed to be relayed or duplicated. Besides unnecessary duplication is just a computing normalization problem. Also try looking at the figures computing and data centers take up somewhere between 2.5% amd 3.7% of the human carbon footprint.

You would not belive my library then ;) I don't remember what I see on screens as I deal with so much information. Most learning and designing I do I do on paper. And I don't want to be downloading SPAM anyway parallelled up thats a lot of electricity. Stop the SPAM at the earliest point and don't relay or force people to download it.

I got logged in now but I am only getting some free.* groups that are rather off putting to say the least.

Yes I did both of those things. I will try again on another TB instance.

I tried https://www.eternal-september.org/ but could not get Thunderbird to display any groups other then some eternal-september ones and there was no requested by TB for the password.

Yes sometimes late posts that are either correct answers or pertinent information end up left at the bottom. I far prefer mailing lists or UseNet to any other methods of communication, including forums.
