the mixup is that actual distillery gets 96% (192 proof) azeotrope during distillation (fuel and some other specific uses can bring it up to 100%) then dilutes it with water to 40%. technically, it's correct

i think that some of these are meant to be disposable

good call then, however if it's so close to the plug i'd try to disassemble it and reattach plug to now slightly shorter cable (after taking photos noticing how cables are connected) (unless there are crimped, glued, mold-injected or otherwise irreversibly attached parts)

you can do that even with some crimped connectors, as long as you have spare or can make ersatz ferrula

either way, it's january problem

maybe it's a good thing that it's so fucking hard/expensive to selfhost bsky

wood, magnesium, aluminum, plastics, they say titanium is bad, but i'd expect iron, nickel, manganese, tungsten, silver, maybe zinc to be worse

why didn't you stagger the joints, if you make it so that no joint is in the same point in cable then it's slimmer, more elastic and slightly less prone to failure

considering that you have there a bunch of coax cables in single wrap, you might have some problems with rf signal leakage between them if there are gaps in shield of these coax cables that line up

it also looks like there's shield over entire cable, it would be a good thing to keep it continuous

if it's some sensitive rf equipment, especially working at microwave frequencies, then keeping wire diameter and insulator thickness in these coax cables is important, which in practice means you should put there two coaxial plugs and a barrel connector between them. at which point it probably makes more sense to replace cable entirely

no no no no it's on by default so it's opt-out, and switch for that isn't even implemented yet

can you get methadone substitution therapy under these laws?

the death penalty for anything approach? yeah nah that would be war on drugs dialed to 11 and it sucked

you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"

if bsky is supposed to be federated, then it does nothing, but as it is today with 99%+ of users on main instance, it only works as a recruitment tool for bsky
