Exactly. And then they complain when you obsess about this book series and don't react to conversation attempts.

Relax, it's just another made up story.

Almost everyone there speaks English and very well. Never had any problem communicating.

PNG is lossless and its compression not well suited for photos. It doesn't even have to be huge to get a photo PNG of that size.

I bet, cleanly shaven feels nice but I can imagine stubble to be exceptionally bad on legs. And most men would probably need to shave far more often to avoid it.

I didn't mean they only last 2 years but battery degradation is a pretty common and known thing.

By a quick search I didn't find any claim of storage battery lifetimes outside of 10-15 years, so there doesn't seem to be a breakthrough in tech I wasn't aware of. 15 years is hardly the lifetime of a house, so you certainly don't "buy only once".

Solar panels also don't work indefinitely but their efficiency degradation is more on par with the lifetime of major parts of the building, like the roof itself.

Thought the same. Trivial questions are asked and answered all the time (more trivial than this one too, where the question to enter into Google isn't even that obvious). When it comes to politically loaded topics people always like to swing the downvote hammer.
