There are also Pika in North America.

I’m an REI member and I hadn’t voted in a board election until this. I voted against all of them.

Check the date on that article, the joke is more layered than you thought.

Individual people who are Democrats can be good people. The Democratic party has been asleep at the wheel when they’re not ignoring the will of their constituents since mid-Obama and allowed us to slide into this disaster.

Yeah, AWS is ginormous and largely invisible. You can usually figure out when something’s in AWS if you can traceroute it, and sometimes by IP, but that requires knowing the IP of the server in question AND having the know-how to use and understand those tools’ output.

Tesla does direct sales. No dealerships.

Wear pouch briefs and this will never be a problem.

In middle school we put on Romeo and Juliet and a few teachers thought it would be fun to show the movie she was in. They did not realize she was topless in it, which is how every boy in 7th grade saw boobs that day.

This was pre-ubiqutous internet, so boobs weren’t easy to see. We talked about it like it was the coming of Christ.

I did, but I also wanted to quit. No one quits a substance they don’t want to quit.

I hope there’s a light in the shower since blinds are opaque while shower curtains are not.

Nice info! A few notes:

Volts are not energy. Volts are a component of electrical energy. The drop in voltage is because of the additional load on the circuit that the charger represents. Energy losses come out as heat. If something gets hot while it’s doing its job and its job is not to heat things it means that it’s got a loss of energy somewhere. I’d bet that the charger warms up in use, and the loss is likely greater than the 1.75% loss that you were thinking you had with the voltage sag.

L1 charging is less efficient for a few reasons, but the biggest increase you get in efficiency from the L2+ charges is time. Triple the charge rate gets you full in an afternoon rather than overnight. But then you can parlay that into cost savings by timing your charge to off-peak times and charge up on cheaper electricity, if it is available in your area.

Electric cars do have an easily measurable range drop in cold weather for the reasons you outlined. Gas cars really shine in cold weather because not only do they not perform measurable worse in terms of range when the thermometer drips, but they also make their own heat, ALL THE TIME. In electric cars you have to use battery power to heat both the battery and the cabin, which is yet another drain on range. But, that gas combustion heat is loss in the summer when you’re not using it. Like the waste from your charger, but this time it also comes with emissions.

Photorealism and stylized animation are not the same thing and are used in different contexts.

This makes me want to call up the former CTO of the MSP I worked for who disagreed with me when I said TP-Link and other consumer hardware was a risk we shouldn’t let our customers take and tell him that he’s a miserable drunk who destroyed a company by taking a role he had no business in.

Yo straight people are the ones having waaay more kids and they’re still naming plenty of them with non-stupid names. Let’s focus the hate where it belongs: people who try to create personalities for themselves by using their child as a proxy for their unfulfilled hopes and dreams.

I think our model of cosmology is likely way more wrong than we think. I LOVE it when we get new data that challenges our accepted notions, which is why I’m loving all the “how are these ancient galaxies so big” stuff coming out of Webb.

My running theory is that what we call the universe is an inverse version of what we would consider to be the real universe, were we not stuck in this crummy inverted one.

Iirc he went into therapy, got a major cult-boner for his therapist and then started bossing his partner around, claiming that she was toxic by misusing therapy language.

Every single time I’m scrolling and Carter’s face pops up at the bottom of my screen I think “Oh, he’s reached the end of his long, full life,” and them nope he’s fine and older than most people will ever get. Go Jimmy!
