That’s the best poem about a 4-legged chicken that I’ve ever read.

I’ve been procrastinating for weeks about setting up a dev environment to help contribute to the codebase, but I didn’t procrastinate at all in preordering a Core-2. My Pebble Time might be the last piece of consumer tech that I was both excited for and a satisfied customer of.

That article is light on details. Trying to push 1000kW into an 800V drive train (current state of the art) is going to generate a LOT of heat. Is BYD going to increase the drivetrain voltage in order to bring required amperage down (and heat gen with it)? A lot of car makers haven’t even made it to 800 yet.

My car could charge in well under 15 minutes if any charger in my area could make it to the advertised 350kW. My high water mark so far (after 3 months) is 185kW. Usually its closer to 80.

Reminds me of that George Carlin joke: Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

So half of people are dumb enough to think autocomplete with a PR team is smarter than they are… or they’re dumb enough to be correct.

Heat and ashing.

Due how finely shredded and tightly packed tobacco is, there is much less heat (that the inner finger is more sensitive to than finger tips) and easier to control / denser ash with cigarettes. Compounding this, the filter helps with heat and the between finger hold makes it easier to flick the dense ash. Their similar in components, but less so in functionally.

“useless” is a more positive impression than I have.

Greeting new Lemmings!

Please wipe your feet, we don’t want anyone tracking in any spez.

I’ll celebrate when no one considers this to be news.

It was been way too long since I’ve watched that.

Writing them off as an American company is totally valid, but I’m happy to pay for a quality service because it keeps ads out and lets me vote with my money. It’s really not much to cling to psychologically, but it helps. When I and others completely degoogle our lives it moves no needles at GoogHQ, but paying subscriber metrics are a KPI discussed in every board room in the world.

It’s had that for a while now. It was the main reason I’d pipe up to recommend Kagi, but now there’s also their search anonymizer and tor endpoint.

I was once stuck on a train near Donner pass for 6 or 8 hours. The train had a whole car that had been booked by a girlscout group, so I got to spend a chunk of that time listening to a few tweens debate what order to eat everyone in.

I can’t wait to have your save-the-dates pushed into my inbox 4 times a day!

Wow. Our DMV didn’t get us our plates for for almost 2 months, and from what I’ve heard, that’s faster than usual.

Oregon

About a week ago I saw a brand new model Y (still had the 90 day temporary plate) sporting one of those “bought before elon…” stickers.

Its only been a few weeks, but I should give it a good blowout regardless.

Good call. That’s plan b now.

Thanks!

I spent half a dozen hours this weekend trying to get Proxmox running on a 2nd hand laptop, but I can’t get it to run without sounding like a jet engine. The machine did fine when I ran Mint and used it as a laptop - but even after blacklisting the dGPU and forcing all the CPU cores to powersaving, I’m still making heat like crazy.

Plan B is to put Mint back on it and install podman and see if fan noise is a problem then. But I’d rather have podman running in an unprivileged LXC.

Did both Edge users complain?
