No, these devices hold water at the appropriate temperature for long periods of time using extremely good insulation. They provide hot water on-demand after reaching temperature and are used in a way that is somewhat different from kettles.

I never have been able to.

I used to be able to boil my water with electrons from a nuclear reactor.

Now that I moved, all my electrons get excited by high tech coal… Oh…

Since you’re talking specifically about the presidential election, I actually am helping my candidate, since if I and others can get 1% of the popular vote for someone, then they can get easier access to ballots, debates, and federal funding next time.

You can always skip offices that don’t have a good candidate.

Spoiled votes are tracked as a separate statistic!

Sometimes I have to write someone in, but it still counts as a vote!

You guys were voting based on “lesser of two evils” and not based on who you actually like?

I’ve always just voted for the guy I like best. I never felt that voting tactically was truthful.

If everyone was like me we’d have a nicer political climate, I think.

I’ll keep doing that so you can feel free to join me in doing that until we reach the critical mass point.

Without saying anything about politics, environment, or source:

Why, for the love of Satan, does this graph have only 2 data points per source?

Why use a line chart 📉 for that?

This is clear bar chart territory 📊.

Oh boy, what can’t we put ads in?

Can we get MtDew Green Lights with Coca-Cola Red lights?

The spacebar on laptops is free game, just asking for it.

It really is a shame that I can still buy bedsheets that aren’t branded with a corporate advertising campaign.

Yes, I’m excited to see the results of that mission to tell us if arms are good enough or if we need softer effectors.

In the end we may need to swallow trash wholesale in large containment vessels before doing and dv changes, or some other difficult expensive way.

Yes it can dissipate, but you are likely to see some ESD effects.

Curious to see which bus manufacturer eventually takes it on.

They say their tool is cost effective as it can be used for a long time, so who knows.

Check out the anime Planetes!

In reality the job for this will just be satellite operators, which we already have!

Agreed, I also have concerns about shooting an electron beam, the accumulated charge on the tow vehicle is going to build up over time.

If the plan is to just grab a single client spacecraft, and tow it then this is basically already in progress. We will see this happen when NASA launches OSAM.

Seems like an arm that can clamp to the marman ring costs a lot less, and can be ready now.

To go full sci-fi, though, lasers are likely a good tool for smaller debris. High power lasers can ablate the prograde side of small debris, using the gassified solids to push the debris into a lower orbit until the atmosphere can take over.

In very similar technology, I would suggest reading about electrodynamic tethers, where instead of shooting electrons at ships, you can use a long wire to claw your way through earth’s magnetic field.

Open source does not mean open license.

Yes, typically with two entirely separate disks, not just partitions on the same physical disk.

It is 5 minutes of work to use your source control tool, and have a read only view for other people.

Being open source doesn’t mean you have to accept PRs or pay for audits. It just means your source is… Open…

There’s nothing disingenuous about that? Did we read the same things?

Being closed source doesn’t fix any of the issues they noted.

I’d rather they just say “I’m ashamed of my code”.

I just commented this elsewhere, but I personally feel that their reasons for being closed source are worse than actually just being closed source.

I wasn’t worried about it being proprietary until I saw the founder reasoning for not having the source be open under a nonpermissive licence.

I decided to go with logseq because of it.

It also syncs with all my devices using my own servers, instead of needing to trust obsidian/logseq.
