You know, where it never gets cold enough that you'd need L2 in order to heat the battery pack and have power leftover to charge it. L1/120V@15A doesn't cut it in winter in the midwest.

Not everyone needs or wants to carry a giant monolith of a phone. Even the last mini, the 13 is still large compared to old phones. Heck everyone else seems to have gotten out of the market, so you can have it all to yourself.

Krebs will pick it up and probably the EFF will step in. Possibly also the ACLU. The Streisand effect is going to be in full force and IT at the city is going to get screwed, but we can at least hope it also ends the political careers of those idiots.

I'll worry about AI coming for my software job (because it can replace rank & file) when AI comes for my 4x grand strategy games like Civ.

Eg, until harder difficulty levels are not "give the AI ridiculous bonuses so it can (kinda) compete against a human" I'm not too worried about my job.

You really aren't. It bogs you down in micro more than civ 4/5/6 does and has a bad habit of not clearly explaining what/why things are happening. I wanted to like it -- I mean I like endless space 1 and 2. I didn't really get into endless legend though which might have been a bad sign.

I'm hopeful Firaxis has this under control, but I'm a lot more concerned with 7 than I was when 6 was coming out. 6 was very much iterative on 5. 7 looks more revolutionary and I'm not sure that's a good thing.

Or it'd require a car to have a really low drag coefficient, so that you get a lot of range out of the size battery you have. Like a Lucid Air. Or the Aptera if they ever actually deliver them. I mean, Aptera expects 10 miles/kWh. That works out to a 60 kWh pack for a 600 mile range. That's a smaller pack than most current gen EVs in the US ship and double or more the range.

This isn't to understand how to cool the planet. This is a study of geology. Volcanic eruptions will dump stuff (including sulfur dioxide!) that high in the atmosphere. This is just us re-doing that experiment without some of the confounding factors. If it happens to show cooling great you learned something extra. Or maybe you learned to more accurately compute how much SO2 the volcano is ejecting.

Sounds like a great gig for a company that couldn't figure out how to do the same button scrolling method on the marble mouse that X has done for... decade(s?).

Not that it matters since they killed off the marble mouse. No, thanks, I won't be paying a subscription to you... nor apparently buying any more of your pointer products.

Amortization fail by your average american. I don't know the last time I went to a gas station. Like... I really don't. I'd have to go look in the gas car's log book (yes, we still keep one -- weird, I know). The answer will be measured in weeks or months.

Do I spend +10-15 minutes per charging stop on the one or two long trips we take a year in the EV? Yes. Do I spend -5 minutes weekly by skipping the gas station? Also yes... So -260 minutes or +15 x how many times am I really going to stop to charge on a vacation? Usually maybe 2 each way? I'll take 2-3 hours back per year. Plus I don't have to breathe gas fumes, listen to whatever passes for music thumping from the "pimp my ride" contestant two spots over, or watch the jacked up pickup decide to fuel while running and smoking because, you know, he's invincible because truck.

I would say you need L2 charging with your parking. So SFH + garage, or condo/apartment but only if you have dedicated parking + can get a charger put in. You also need to not tow stuff very far (kills range) and not take super long road trips (we'll travel a state or two but none of this snowbird MN to FL stuff).

The conservatives oppose them because rich conservatives tell them to oppose them, because other rich conservatives own large chunks of the prison industrial complex, or its ancillaries (eg, police equipment manufacturers) and it would be terrible if those folks went broke and had to get a real job.

So you're moving to Haiti then? There's no government left to tax you there, it should be paradise. Sorry to see you go and all that blather.

Rational people don't own a bought-new car for 4 years. They own it till the wheels fall off -- or at least until reliability/maintenance becomes an actual problem (as opposed to an excuse). And they for sure don't lease it.

So there's a blurb from summer games fest and somehow it leaves out Civilization 7?

As long as it is clearly spelled out to be executives. What should not happen is anything that lets an executive blame-dump on an IC.

Citation needed.

I especially like how you ignore that people will die and lose their homes in the "x% off that growth" you cite.
