Given the young lady had a pointy end, a saucy reply of "No, I'm not!" also fits.

KaiOS on a flip phone?

TFA didn't mention that Apple keeps turning Bluetooth on at any excuse.

"If my math holds, $18.9 is 31% of $63.05, not a drop or 31%."

Down to 31% of its previous value is what they meant.

Definitely cool. Hopefully Molotov Girl will show up on my next walk around the block.

Why tabs and not bookmarks?

Drag races are irrelevant to the statement. As I said, pulling the boat out of the lake is not a problem. Pulling the camper up the hill on I-80 east of Pendleton OR is the problem. Or worse, heading into the mountains pulling the trailer on a curvy dirt road? At low RPM you will need high current, how long until the motors overheat?

As to the other issue, so I might have an issue charging at Grangeville ID the driving down WhiteBird hill. As long as the normal brakes are still adequate to the task no problem.

Firearms can not be bought online legally. You can pay for it online and have it shipped to a local FFL dealer, and that dealer will then do the background check and all the required paperwork.

Some states do allow you to buy alcohol online. I've never done that so you'll have to find a place and read the FAQ.

In a EV car you can get away without a transmission. In a truck I have my doubts. Getting torque at low speed requires high currents. That will heat the motor windings quickly, I-squared R losses are a bitch. A locked motor burns up quick. That's why they have thermal overloads.

Industrial Variable Frequency Drives have a variety of settings to use to get more torque at low rpm without burning up the motor. But the ability to do this is limited. It works for starting conveyor belts or for pulling a boat out of the water but not for much longer.

Although the automatic in my 2020 truck is much better than the one one in the 2008, (that one went spastic on any reasonably steep hill) it still tends to to be in the wrong gear quite often. Last summer I had to take manual control bringing the camper down the steep dirt road as the transmission left to itself would have had me running about 60 mph when 15 to 20 was the correct value. Riding the brakes that long is never a good idea.

Question for an EV owner, on a long downhill do you lose regenerative braking when the battery is fully charged?

Methanol fuel cells already exist. And of course it does burn too, you could use it fuel a combined cycle gas turbine generator too.

And you can Fischer-Tropsch methanol into anything you want.

How long does the catalyst stay clean and how hard is it to regenerate are the next questions.

I've assumed AI really stands for Augmented Idiocy.

Google's Black norsemen cemented the deal.

"MS is going to collapse in the not too distant future because they are increasingly unable to keep their crap secure or even working."

Apple has the same problem. Their last update broke Java, USB hubs and a bunch of other stuff. The only change they advertised was new emojis.

I remember NE2000 cards. They were notable in that they worked quite reliably.

I also remember stringing together the 10-base-2 coaxial cable strings and remembering the termination resistors on the ends. Twisted pair within the building, coax between the buildings as it had twice the range.

Base station cellular is a good idea in rural areas. The antenna is outside, and since it is far away from you it can transmit at higher power.

My first cell phone had a very marginal signal and I had to get an amplifier and outdoor directional antenna. Then they upgraded to 4G, but the new antenna was on the other side of the hill. So I had to change companies to the one that had a shiny new 4G tower on this side of the hill.

No there will never be real 5G here. There is no point.

Sorry to dispute that assertion, but the landline not working is why I got a cell phone. The boobs in charge couldn't, or more likely wouldn't fix it.

And fiber isn't fail safe either. The fiber optic hub at the corner is powered by the power line. The hub has its very own meter. So when the power goes out you can't use the fiber system to notify the power company. Putting my switch on a UPS would only be useful to allow my laptop to link to my tablet, in other words, not useful.

The reverse is true too. If the cell network goes down then you can't use it to tell the cell phone company. Redundant systems are good.

So on the one hand they are tearing out hydroelectric dams, and on the other hand they want more power for AI server farms and EVs.

The fruits and the nuts really need to talk to each other.
