For me, I hate to sit there silently trying to remember where such and such tab was. I still like bookmarks. I keep a file with bookmarks

I’m old.

Well then you’re in for a treat honestly. Won’t spoil it though.

Turns out Ares lost $135M :-(

I still liked it though. No time for the haters!

I really prefer reading physical printouts of papers, so I normally just write in the margins. If I'm reviewing or doing a deep dive into a paper, I just open a blank document on my computer and jot notes there.

I'd like a 40% stake in this business in exchange for buying you two (2) beers the next time we hang out. Do we have a deal?

Wait I misunderstood the original comment. I thought you were talking about cooling, not fire suppression. The liquid cooling is tap water, not some exotic 3M refrigerant.

Regarding the fire suppression, I have no idea. Probably water because I don't recall any Halon signs.
