Not every home heats their water with electric resistance heating. My previous place used natural gas for hot water, and my current home has a heat pump water heater, which has an effective efficiency much greater than a normal electric water heater.

Death knell.

No prob! We never actually produced a 1 mill coin, but there was a half-cent (5 mill) coin produced until 1857!

It’s actually just one extra decimal place (thousandths), so $3.999 or $4.009.

I’ve never seen a ten-thousandths place in a price in USD.

Fun fact: mills, or one-thousandths of a dollar, were actually officially specified as valid units of currency in the first several laws establishing the US mint and the coinage system, in the late 1700s.

But yeah, now they’re mostly just used to scam people at the gas pump.

Totally fair and sorry for the pedantry!

Except for USB 3.2 gen 2, which can in some cases be slower than USB 3.2 gen 1, formerly known as USB 3.1.

And USB 4, which defines two different possible operating speeds, one of which is equal in speed to USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (not faster than it)

And USB 4 Version 2 (lord help me) which defines a mode in which the upstream speed is halved in exchange for faster downstream speeds.

jumps out window

This is false when it comes to me to PCIe, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

Most motherboards have cutouts on one end of the PCIe x1/x4 slots, for exactly this situation. If not, and you want to be adventurous, you can cut the plastic of the slot and it’ll work fine.

If the card is PCIe 3.0 x4, and the slot is PCIe 4.0 x1, the card will run at PCIe 3.0 x1. But it’ll work.

This is the internet; you can say “fuck” here.
