    Al generated a massive income to support actions to help homeless people and stop new AI datacenters from being built in nature perserves.

    It’s not even pure Al, but a ‘Weird’ combination alloy.

    I'll be That Guy and say that essentially every structural piece of aluminum in the world is an aluminum alloy. Pure aluminum is very soft and more difficult to manufacture into usable parts.

    You are thinking of regular steel. Stainless steel may not even have any iron or carbon, so don't worry.
    My product is 99.999% pure stainless steel by weight.

    The lowercase l is a major failure of the alphabet. Sans serif font makes it worse but having l and I matching was a mistake.

    TBF, Al might actually be a reason not to buy it in the unlikely case a similar one made of Cu was also available, as this one would have a higher thermal conductivity (and also more style!).

    I had to laugh. Some ad executive has a genius for hopping on bandwagons. when public opinion finally swings away from AI, any product without aluminum can claim “No Al”

    Yesterday a guy did the spongebob sarcasm capitalization on “wall of text” and wrote “Fine, I’ll summarize the scary ‘wAlL oF tExT’ for everyone.”

    And just, damn. “wail of text” really summarizes nicely how I feel about long, padded articles with tons of popup and banner ads, along with “disable your adblocker” and robot verification tests.
