I love reading how people use their Steam Deck for things other than gaming.

I recently had to travel for family obligations and had to work during the 3-week trip. Rather than carry both my work and personal laptops, I used the Steam Deck + slim Bluetooth keyboard + a travel mouse as my personal laptop. I travel with a second 4K portable monitor for work anyway, so the increase in bulk was minimal. I also always carry my Deck for flights and other travel more than 1 hour. The Deck has been such an additive bit of gear, and not just for portable gaming. I’d go so far as to say it’s more than additive; it’s transformative.

If they were, “are”, “of” and “and” likely wouldn’t be capitalized.

Yep, you’re right. I missed those.

There are lots of different style guides

I was reluctant to say anything about Chicago, APA, etc.

Totally weird possibility: the author is following the actual grammar rules trying poorly to follow a style guide for capitalization of titles.

Edit: as @hikaru755@lemmy.world pointed out, I totally missed that words were capitalized for which no style guide advises capitalization.

Too bad we don’t yet have Steve Austin to save our butts from this. Reference for the young’uns: https://bionic.fandom.com/wiki/Death_Probe

seven MQ-9 drones shot down by the group over the past several weeks. The Houthis have brought down more than a dozen of the surveillance drones (emphasis mine)

Wow, something tells me the military had some editorial input on this article. In all kinds of materials, including General Moseley’s own statements, the MQ-9 Reaper is a hunter-killer drone. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_MQ-9_Reaper)

And Cascadia too, please.

The medical field would be categorically fuct. Just the loss of sterile packaging would have serious consequences. Minimally invasive surgeries, joint replacements, bandages that don’t adhere to wounds, stents…

Then let’s consider cordage. Mountain climbing, arborists, rescue teams, sailboats (the most efficient way to cross oceans), ships, construction… the loss of just Dyneema/UHMWPE, which is a relatively new entrant to the cordage field would have seriously negative impacts.

There is a lot of energy bound up in those long molecules, and there are no unexploited niches in balanced ecosystems. There are already bacteria that can consume certain polymers under narrow conditions. Humanity is gonna be so screwed for a long time if bacteria can slip those narrow parameters.
