While I agree that vendor lock in sucks, getting a universal standard open source tool battery is not likely to happen. I decided to go with the Milwaukee M18. They have a huge variety of tools available, and they all use the same interchangeable battery. I have a drill, an impact driver, a circular saw, and hedge trimmers.
I also recommend a cordless impact driver. The amount of torque you can generate with a drill is limited by your ability to hold the drill. The amount of torque you can generate with an impact driver is magnitudes more. Great for driving screws, tightening nuts, I’ve even used it for drilling through wood with a spade bit.
It’s less about size and more about population density.
Japan is 338 people per square kilometer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Japan
China is 147 people per square kilometer total https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_China
The US is 36 people per square kilometer https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/dec/density-data-text.html
The US could build long distance high speed rail like Japan and China, but the ridership level would be rock bottom due to the low population density.

Same. It needs to be an even number, but 5 feels more even than 4 or 6.
You’re assuming that the construction companies will be paid
I’m also a middle child. My parents wanted a boy and a girl. They got my older brother, then got me (amab), so they adopted my younger sister.
Fedora Silverblue, I downloaded the latest image from their website. I also tried AntiX and Zorin. I just tried using Rufus to burn a FreeDOS USB stick and no luck there either. My old Windows SSD was booting, but now when I just tried again I’m getting BSOD. I think the computer is borked after sitting for too long, so time to build a new one. with blackjack and hookers.
It’s a USB 2 drive and USB 2 ports. I have some USB 3 ports on a PCIe expansion card but they’re not recognized during boot. I tried the other USB 2 port and it was the same result. I’m thinking the MoBo might be borked after sitting for too many years.
I haven’t used it yet either, but I believe it’s buy in nowadays. It was buy in for a while, then ISPs started offering free usenet access to attract customers, now it’s buy in again.
