So a day or two ago, it was shown that "solid State batteries were only Lithium batteries. But now they are solid state again?
Someone labels a comment about "Solid State batteries" offtopic I an articles about..... wait for it.... Solid state batteries powering an airplane. So cute.
No idea why you'd want to say "you've got to stay out for 2 decades", but certainly "you've got to actually participate in the union if you want back in" is entirely reasonable, and I say that as a Brit.
Disclaimer: I'm American, so I'm coming from an outsider's perspective. For the record, I was opposed to Brexit. The reason the EU should insist on a minimum "stay out" time if not a "Once you leave, you NEVER get back in" approach is that you don't want asshole counties like Hungary (in the Viktor Orbán days) or the current leadership of Slovakia threatening to leave and/or cause havoc unless you buy them off.
The thing people are arguing for is an endless number of Mulligans. Like Brexit every other year, then rejoining in the off years.
Gotta be some limit, and after all, GB went hard Brexit, so they would need to make a really good case to get back in. Something along the lines of "we FAFO'd"
We have a deal, a fantastic deal, and I am sure the UK is definitely going to sign it this weekend, no more discussions but a great deal, this weekend. For sure.
It's a beautiful deal, I mean everyone is talking how perfect it is, and only I can broker perfect deals.. But lets talking about old Slee[py Joe, he's teh one who rigged The great country of Britain's did I tell you how much I lobe Britain, And they love me oh so much, but Everyone loves me - I love inflation and will arrest Hillary Clinton - who received no votes in 2016, and I'm naming all the buildings in Washington DC after me because everyone loves me, I'm the best president, love love love. Time for a nap....
Ok well I'm not pretending to understand the USA. It's like you argue that you should have freedom to treat people how you want whether it is tasteful or not. I guess that works both ways a lot of the time.
Looks like the only way I can stop getting your posts is to allow you to have the last word, so have at it!
This is the kind of stunt you do if you want people to believe in your vaporware. Instead of releasing actual stats about your battery, or simply building a mass scale factory, you put it into a little airplane. Small commercial electric planes are here now and you can buy them
That's a cool little plane, for certain, probably good as a trainer, mostly.
There is no reason to prefer solid state batteries. It's just another battery technology, with charge times, weight, temperature safety ranges, mechanical stress limits, etc. If another battery technology gets you the better numbers in those metrics, then use the other battery technology. If the solid state battery does better, then prefer that.
Exactly. The number of different types of batteries and their use cases is pretty huge. Just chemistry and the electrochemical series.
Right now, everyone is agog about Lithium (something) batteries, with increasing interest in Sodium -ion batteries.
The so called solid state batteries are apparently just Lithium batteries, and haven't lived up to the hype anyhow.
SS Batteries have always sounded pretty Grift-y to me. Solid state isn't magic fairy dust.
The kind I'm talking about the shop gets paid by the insurance policy so it's not up to them to refuse.
That is the type I had. You might be surprised, but the dealer can refuse to perform the service that you get reimbursed from. Yes, I could have sued them, probably won. My revenge was much simpler than giving lawyers money. I simply stopped buying new cars from that dealership. That way they can lose thousands from both my wife and myself.
Besides, I don't have the time to futz around
We clearly aren't talking about the same thing.
I have what you call a file format bug up my ass. Why would my comment be irrelevant?
Some people have no involvement in archival of pertinent documents. They would perhaps think that someone who needs to retrieve documents is some sort of one off thing. We are not. Our ability to retrieve old documents is sometimes very very critical.
if you don't want surprises, it would be far less expensive to get one of those vehicle repair insurance plans. I think you just want a new car.
I had one of those once. Our local dealer refused to honor it twice. First was for a broken turn signal assembly, second was for a tire that failed at 7K miles.
The usual answer is "No, no, you are lonely."
You should marry my ugly sister, Bertha. Or rather Katherina. (See how far back this plot scheme goes?)
Let's not forget the attacks on the so called "pick me!" women, who are castigated for treating men well.
Small town thinking. It's nearly impossible to locate such women in a big city. Much less constrain them to the village women's pecking order. And then threaten ostracization for failing to stay in their place.
Well then, is someone forcing you to marry and endure the presents marriage brings to men? I there are no worthy women in the cities, you just don't wife them up. And that's the thing. The present day paradigm that demands women live the single life sampling as many men as possible until their mid to late 30s', is running up against a problem
And not to put too fine a point on it, he can always go out and have one nighters or situationships with those modern women, pick them up at the bars or clubs.
Disclaimer - the bar and club scene isn't what it used to be, even Chad and Tyrone are finding better things to do with their time.
So? They don't charge to license it, and it doesn't actually lock anyone into their ecosystem, so who the f- cares? Besides you and the eight other people with a file format bug up their ass that is.
So what is your solution when a department head brings you a lot of files in some old format and tells you they need updated in order toe be archived
Just tell them no, and tell them they have a bug up their ass?
Perhaps your use case has no such requirements. Doesn't mean other use cases are irrelevant. Doesn't mean they are only a few people. And since Microsoft doesn't offer a thing doesn't mean the use case doesn't exist.
I've even had to recover files from floppy disks. I'll offer no guarantees, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve likening a heat gun to warm the floppy up a bit before inserting.
Not a catch 22: LibreOffice has good compatibility (import and export) for MS formats and they improve it all the time, this is not about mere compatibility but about monopoly on file formats. And when all office suites work by default with MS formats, they maintain the monopoly.
I have access to O365, but yeah, LibreOffice is simply better.
Whatever claims some might have to an obscure Excel function, the fact remains that O365, is sorely lacking in the ability to open just about everything, which at least for my use case, is a show stopper.
Your technical. The target audience, people who aren't, are going to have issues trying to share files with others and trying to explain why the file has a weird looking icon.
Yup, I had many people that get confused bring me files to open and convert them to the files they are familiar with.
Thing is even Microsoft Office doesn't have very good compatibility with Microsoft Office.
And how! That's why many people keep one of the free suites on hand.
Opening documents from older versions often just breaks them. I've had documents from hospitals that I couldn't get to render right in modern Microsoft Word, and spreadsheets from ancient projects that broke when imported into the Office 365 web version of Excel.
There is a reason why many orgs, especially legal outfits, want PDFs.
I've been sending people
I get all manner of older files from all manner of formats. Fortunately I am not tethered to Microsoft Office, so since I have to go into Libre Office to resurrect documents, I figure I'll just stay there. I'm certain someone will chime in with how they use some obscure "feature" only in Office 365, that LO is useless.
What smartphones do is allow people to access social media, a big cause of problems. But then again, so do desktops and laptops.
Another social media caused issue is the rise of generalized misandry, and the target of that misandry "checking out"That's the part that is often not spoken of as much, as to dare to mention that not all problems are caused by men will be attacked.
Watch the response to this post.
And massive checkout of men who choose not to enter into relationships can and will have an effect on birth rate. Men might not be loved, but they have a part in putting in the order.
One big effect of social media for men was for them to share their stories. Men who's wives cheated on them, then divorced him, took his assets, got to keep his house because she got custody of the kids, she marries her affair partner, but the ex gets to continue to pay child support. And he gets to watch his children grow up in freeze Frame snippets.
And let's face it, men can be idiots, thinking with their dinkies, but as more men share their stories, one thing becomes very clear. The way to avoid the very likely outcome of relationships and marriage is to not enter into them.
Youtube has become unofficial manosphere headquarters, a natural thing, since many men used Youtube videos to find out how things are done, and watched videos of activities of interest to many men.
When the manosphere stuff started, for a short time, YT tried to crack down on it. But after figuring out who their customers were, they let it run.
To me, it is a little sad that one of the most obvious reasons is being ignored for narrative. We can see it all over the place, almost amusingly when we get faux sympathetic "There is a male loneliness epidemic" uttered by a modern woman, and a man replies "Not really, men have just decided that there is no valid reason to get into a relationship or marry today, and we opt out"
The usual answer is "No, no, you are lonely."
Let's not forget the attacks on the so called "pick me!" women, who are castigated for treating men well.
Or the now popular go to an Asian country to find a wife. American men and the "Passport Bro" phenomenon. I know several men who have taken this route. Philippinas, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Korean.
Not one has divorced, They treat each other like King and Queen. This is not some misogynist fever dream, No one is being dominated. This is real equality, many of these women have careers, some are stay at home. Their choice.
Side note - when you marry a Philippina, you marry into the family - big time. The men I know married to Philippinas have a huge extended family, often living with them, but always nearby. But yeah, blame it on the iPhone, which is like blaming car keys for auto accidents.
We all like praise, but a hike in our pay is the best kind of ways.
