thank god we didn’t see a massive wave in inflation out of that.

Where are you that hasn’t seen massive inflation since COVID?

I don’t think you’re using that phrase correctly.

Yeah, AWS is ginormous and largely invisible. You can usually figure out when something’s in AWS if you can traceroute it, and sometimes by IP, but that requires knowing the IP of the server in question AND having the know-how to use and understand those tools’ output.

Why did you just type a bunch of stars?

I think they conflated multimode with DWDM.

You can’t just call everything you disagree with holocaust denial. Doing so is holocaust denial.

Dry them with a Kimwipe. It’s what they’re made for and they’re really good at it.

I’m pretty sure singing a poem turns it into a song.

Who dropped all this monkey paw in the shower?

I haven’t thought about H*R in a loooooong time. Thank you.

No one has any theories about it because there’s no need. They’re doing everything in the light of day. You don’t sound like a nut if you say “that racist billionaire bought the US government” because we WATCHED IT HAPPEN. The conspiracy crowd is busy with cryptocurrency and sovcit diversions.

How many of them will survive the next preventable pandemic?

Wear pouch briefs and this will never be a problem.

In middle school we put on Romeo and Juliet and a few teachers thought it would be fun to show the movie she was in. They did not realize she was topless in it, which is how every boy in 7th grade saw boobs that day.

This was pre-ubiqutous internet, so boobs weren’t easy to see. We talked about it like it was the coming of Christ.

Imagine if they ditched the second screen for a dedicated keyboard and track pad! It would be a portable productivity machine.

I heard lead poisoning can help poisoners not relapse.

Nice info! A few notes:

Volts are not energy. Volts are a component of electrical energy. The drop in voltage is because of the additional load on the circuit that the charger represents. Energy losses come out as heat. If something gets hot while it’s doing its job and its job is not to heat things it means that it’s got a loss of energy somewhere. I’d bet that the charger warms up in use, and the loss is likely greater than the 1.75% loss that you were thinking you had with the voltage sag.

L1 charging is less efficient for a few reasons, but the biggest increase you get in efficiency from the L2+ charges is time. Triple the charge rate gets you full in an afternoon rather than overnight. But then you can parlay that into cost savings by timing your charge to off-peak times and charge up on cheaper electricity, if it is available in your area.

Electric cars do have an easily measurable range drop in cold weather for the reasons you outlined. Gas cars really shine in cold weather because not only do they not perform measurable worse in terms of range when the thermometer drips, but they also make their own heat, ALL THE TIME. In electric cars you have to use battery power to heat both the battery and the cabin, which is yet another drain on range. But, that gas combustion heat is loss in the summer when you’re not using it. Like the waste from your charger, but this time it also comes with emissions.

For me it’s an investment in freezing my housing costs. I bought 8 years ago and since then the increases in my housing costs have been around 5% as taxes go up. In the same time period, rent for the apartment I was in previously has gone up 65% and is higher than my mortgage payment. Had I not purchased a house there’s a good chance I would have had to either move in with family or move to a much cheaper area.

Tell that to my mortgage.

For the record I own exactly one house, it’s in terrible condition and I don’t have the funds to renovate. Because of the mortgage.
