1. That’s solar
2. Not every storm has hail, but every storm has high winds
3. The potential risk here is an untethered 1 ton floating turbine crashing down somewhere

Because the US didn’t have enough actual police officers they could bring?

The biggest lobby pushing this is companies like Thorn, who promise to provide (I.e. sell) the technology required to comply with such a law. It’s literally just a business investment for them.

I’m fairly confident that this could be solved by better trained and configured chatbots. Maybe as a supplementary device between in-person therapy sessions, too.

I’m also very confident that there’ll be lot of harm done until we get to that point. And probably after (for the sake of maximizing profits) unless there’s a ton of regulation and oversight.

Even at 100%, there’s still better things to do with electricity than Bitcoin. Like hydrogen and fuel production (for planes, ships, heavy industry).

224m radius from the previous comment equates to 1400m circumference. With a crossbrace of another 900m (assuming an X shape). And a bit of stuff in the middle to affix the solar collector arrays (which must be stationary).

For comparison, the ISS is 109m long.

And ears.

Literally switched to Linux on my desktop yesterday.

That’s because Google removed the support from chrome after only a few months, and Mozilla never added it to Firefox. And although there’s apparently an extension for both, (lossy) image formats need out of the box browser support to have any chance for any kind adoption.

Because the mouse falls off the table the second you start typing.

It’s probably a good general advice to ask your doctor for “local” vaccinations whenever you move.

The encephalitis vaccine is very common here in southern Germany, but usually skipped in the north where ticks are quite uncommon (which is reasonable, since it’s pretty aggressive, being sick for a day or two after the jab is not unlikely).

Dang, what a shitty doctor.

Although I think my perspective is a bit skewed, having grown up in a tick hotspot here in Germany. Everyone is aware of ticks here, pretty sure it’s taught in elementary school. And the encephalitis vaccine is pretty much standard, too.

Do ticks in America not carry encephalitis (like they do in central/eastern Europe)?Because that’s way more dangerous than Lyme disease. I find it weird that it isn’t mentioned at all, nor the vaccination against it.

They’re better make it so the context menu doesn’t take 2s to fully load while moving the bottom rows around first.

Bitch, every valid action for a file is in the diving registry, sorted by file type. Why do you need to think about this?

I’ve seen an article about submerged concrete spheres being used as pump energy storage. Here’s the relevant press release.

75% efficiency seems pretty decent considering you’re not as reliant on geographical locations (or at least get a lot more options)

feddit.org is the main German instance, although not all communities on here are in German.

Don’t worry, ich_iel is confusing for native speakers as well.

Bold of you to assume the afterlife has no ads.

To be fair: it’s really hard to notice of you are completely bound in your right eye, which the BfV traditionally tends to be.
