This is the way we give our cat his pill twice a day. The people down below talking about jamming it down a cats throat seem a little insane to me.

I literally thought the same thing while writing it, but still wanted to use a mainstream source as an example.
Well, we are talking about buying new cars, so I wouldn't consider that the right choice for someone living paycheck to paycheck.
I'm simply pointing out that it doesn't make sense to spend $35k on a shitbox when you can spend $40k on something decent. When cash is tight, it makes sense to go for the best value even if it means spending a fraction more up front (or in this case, spread out over multiple years). How will you feel about the $35k you spent on the car when you can't use it because the range is shit and the battery wears out quickly from constantly draining and recharging its entire capacity?
This is not any different than buying a $1000 used car that costs you $5000 in gas per year versus a $5000 car that costs $1000 in gas per year. Which one would you pick?
It's much broader than sex though:
Florida’s law is HB3. The law is broad. It requires a website that provides material that is “harmful to minors” to provide a means of “anonymous age verification” to its minors. What does it mean for material to be “harmful to minors?” According to the law any material that “the average person applying contemporary community standards would find, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest.”
I guarantee this will be used (or at least attempted) to silence political speech critical of local governments. It's far too easy to come up with even the weakest justification for why something isn't appropriate for children and Republicans have an army of useful idiots ready to parrot their rhetoric and convince everyone else who isn't paying attention to what's happening.
And more importantly, these laws are written so broadly that these age verification laws can be applied to any website that the state government doesn't like whether they host porn or not. CNN posts article about killings in Gaza? That's not appropriate for children so ID needed. Left-wing forum that's critical of the local Republican government? Well that's not appropriate for children either so we'll need to see the IDs of everyone that has ever visited the site.
I hope these laws get overturned sooner than later but I won't hold my breath.
Yeah just about every company uses VPNs too.
Depends on what you mean by a "robot" but you might look at the ZenXY machine from V1Engineering. It's an open source project meant to be used for drawing in sand but could be swapped and flipped over to use as a drawing machine. You could also Google "pen plotter projects" or something similar as I've seen a few out there that do exactly what you're asking.
As others have said, a 3D printer can do this too if you replace the extruder with a pen and configure it correctly. You're just looking for any sort of CNC controlled device for the hardware. For the software you'll need something that can generate gcode to draw what you want. Sandify is a tool that was created to work with the above mentioned ZenXY in order to create drawings and export them as gcode, but you'd need to do these ahead of time and have them stored on the device.
I think it's more that they don't want to choose the lowest quality option when making such a large purchase. I'd rather spend an extra few thousand, spread over 5 years or whatever term length you choose, to get something that gives more power, range, and features than be stuck with a low quality EV that barely gets a 100 mile range after my loan is paid off.
The Bolt is another cheap EV that sells quite a bit better than the Leaf but still it's a tiny fraction of what more expensive models like the Model 3 or Ioniq 5 sell because it's so limited. You aren't going to fit your family of 4 or 5 inside on comfortably, so why not just spend a little more to get something that can be used outside of solo work commutes if you're going to be spending tens of thousands on it either way?
It's the same reason why people buy trucks even if they only need a truck 2-3 times a year. It's better to have a vehicle that can check all the boxes than something that'll perform well in only a few areas of use.
It's a midtower case so I just went with an ATX board. I would like to figure out a compact solution for the future but it's hard to house and control a bunch of HDDs in a small footprint. I don't want to spend thousands on a NAS and I haven't found a trustworthy DAS solution that will hold all my drives.
You might play around with PCPartPicker since it allows for so many filtering options for things like SATA ports on a mobo or drive slots in a case and see what you can come up with.
Whether you deny the nhialistic outcome or not, you can't deny the reality of our situation and the trajectory of things.
There's definitely some truth to that but it didn't seem to work out in Nissan's favor in the end.
All those latter files are probably from public trackers since they're showing random URLs. I do like the other person suggested and just sort by tracker within the sonarr/radarr categories. If you don't use those categories, sonarr and radarr won't be able to find them in qbit. What I've also done is to create additional categories for each of my private trackers and then I just move the files over to those categories once they've been imported in my libraries, so I can seed them for as long as I like.
You might look into Prowlarr as you can set seed requirements on an individual basis for each tracker you use and it makes adding/removing trackers from the other *arr apps very easy.
