Pnuenonia followed by mrsa.

This one doesn't seem as suspicious as "suicide" in between depositions.

I hear the garbage truck brakes way before I hear the engine.

Electric vehicles do put less load on the brakes thanks to regenerative charging. I bet the trucks will still be plenty loud in other ways as well. The lifting and compaction mechanisms alone can be heard a ways away.

I'll agree on not using antibacterial soap all the time. There's plenty of soaps that aren't antibacterial but still help remove contaminants. People should definitely at least wash their hands with hot water. It's one thing to harbor trace amounts of bacteria, but no one should be spreading urine or fecal matter to every surface they touch.

The portrayal of sexism that Samantha Carter and other female military members face is actually an overall positive part of the shows writing. They highlight how problematic it is and Dr. Samantha Carter continues to rise through the ranks as her accomplishments are recognized by the good leadership that she serves with. She is far from a token character and she provides some of the most significant contributions to the team.

So that issue you have does get better. I would argue that the writing overall is rather progressive for the time.

Feel free to not like the show though. It can be a bit hokey. Not everyone enjoys cheesy sci-fi.

I have a friend who works for a car dealership. One of the old farts in charge got suckered into buying an AI phone receptionist service. The thing never connects people to the right department even when asking specifically by name. A car dealership cannot afford to have customers getting turned away by a poorly functioning ai phone service.

Ai has become the newest excuse for borderline conmen to sell expensive services to administration that doesn't know to carefully check claims before buying something.

Zz and snake plants are also very forgiving and would do well in the light conditions you describe. Snake plants grow as straight upright blades. Zz plants grow in more of fanning structure.

A mix of pathos and zz plants could be pretty nice having both semi upright and trailing foliage but could look a little on the messy side.

The state of charge graph makes it look like 22min of charging for around 1min flight time. (Pretty rough estimates since the chart doesn't have grid lines.)

So the title is rather misleading as technically any tiny array of cells strapped to a quadcopter could eventually charge it enough for a flight.

The development is cool though. Those are very light weight cells, but can we please chill with the clickbait.
