That if you know how to code, you understand how computers work and understand really complicated math concepts.

It took me way longer to realize an article about how Alaskan airlines was giving passengers a pass to bring your own pocket tools on one of their flights that it really should have. My only real excuse was that the site wasn’t the onion.
Not disagreeing, but I live in the US and even if that became a focus of the government, it would take a decade or two to actually get most of the rail necessary.
That’s more medium duty, and yeah, that probably could be converted to electric fairly easily (albeit at a higher cost). I was mostly thinking about longer distance travel, where the main goal is the most amount of uptime and you can’t afford to park and charge for 3-4 hrs every 200 miles. And that is usually the most expensive model, with most getting less milage and/or taking longer to charge.
Then what about trucking? Lithium is not nearly as energy dense, weighs a lot, and does take a significant longer time to charge than a diesel to refuel. If you don’t believe me, look up the eCascadia by Frightliner. They are probably the current best option if you wanted a heavy electric truck, but they only get to around 200 miles with a load (for reference, a standard turbo diesel one would go around 600-800 miles and only take 30 min to refuel).
Currently in trucking, I’ve found that everyone kinda laughs at the idea of electrification (except on medium duty, that wouldn’t be too hard, just overly expensive). Current electric motors are fine, it’s just that the energy storage is nowhere near what is needed for actual use.
Yes, for most basic ev consumers current lithium is fine from a usability perspective, but from a cost one this might provide a much more useful alternative (assuming the cost isn’t insane).
Hail Santa
About once every other week on my phone, multiple times a week on my ipad (pro 10.5). It’s more that I have a Bluetooth dac for some 30ohm headphones I regularly use, as my phone had more difficulty driving it at usable volume without going all the way up and getting the “you’re hurting your ears!” warning.
I could go to a community college around me (I know they teach it), but scheduling it around work might take some work. You know, I think I might actually look and see if they have an occasional weekend course. I don’t have to be a professional welder, just good enough.
That’s an idea! I’d want to make sure I had proper safety equipment, but that might be an plan when I have some time.
Welding. Just useful for occasional projects, and would be nice to know I could weld something if necessary.
A lot factory farming is absolutely cruel yes, but production of plenty of animal based products doesn’t necessarily have to be. I’ve raised chickens before, eggs generally tasted better and the chickens were treated like pets (they weren’t meant for their meat). It’s a spectrum, the goal as a vegetarian is to reduce harm.
A lot don’t have immobilizers (the thing that locks the steering wheel) and you don’t need even need to hot wire, just rip out the guard under the steering wheel and put a USB plug in and turn (the plug fits the hole). It’s pretty bad, and it became more known after TikTok started sharing how easy it was to do.
Mini Cooper se. ~3000lb, technically a 4 seater hatchback, 180hp, 100 mile range. Usually around $20k for a couple of years old. Actually considered it, but unfortunately I probably won’t have access to a place to charge over night for the foreseeable future.
A bit of a dark shower thought, but wouldn’t this whole terrible situation really, really benefit China who has a larger male to female population as a whole?
Manic miners. Basically a remake of the LEGO rock raiders game from 1999. The original was a part of my childhood, and the remake is free, not buggy (unlike the original), and has better graphics. Would definitely recommend.
Nah, he wasn’t actually flying. He was however on route to fly, which was worrying.
My somewhat cynical view is that the airlines are trying to aim for damage control as much as possible, and are tying to throw red herirngs to divert from failings on the airlines part. In this case, shrooms. If the airlines get looked at, I suspect the whole fact that he was probably that sleep deprived and it wasn’t seen as not normal could lead to actual action against airlines.
Nah, shrooms only last around 5-7hrs. In the worst case scenario, assume 8hrs so he was most assuredly not tripping. Probably sleep deprivation.
$70k in my area in NC. It’s a lovely 2bd/1ba, and can keep the rain off your head (mostly). It totally wouldn’t be condemned if actually inspected.
