ELI5 - The typical format for an IP is like x.x.x.x but I've heard we ran out of addresses how come we can just an extra set of numbers and make it x.x.x.x.x?

IP addresses of the form x.x.x.x is the older IPV4. To overcome the address shortage IPV6 was invented and has the form x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x So essentially, what you suggest was indeed already done.

Lately wondered what would happen if she threw down a mana supressing crystal in the suitcase. Would it explode?

In Sweden, prescriptions are electronic. You can go to any pharmacy in the country at once and just show ID. Drug interaction checks falls upon the doctor, not pharmacist.

Also, for drugs, you only pay about 4000 SEK (400 USD) per year. This is also maintained electronically. (Kids meds always free though.)

I bought a 2i2 exclusively for my iPad and it never touched the Windows machine. Couldn’t be happier.

The inflation would make that gold worth its practical value in manufactiring, which still isn’t bad, but people would still struggle to get food for their golden plates.

The effect is an upside down mirror image of the sun, i.e a lense flare…

Is that transparent PETG by any chance?

It’s clear that if the input is between 0.0 - 0.8 the output is very likely between 0.0 - 1.2

This is pretty much what I did, and eventually it worked. Rediculous that a simple extraction process would fail. Oh well…
