The ping is a bit meh. I need to figure out how to get the 4G card in my laptop to work on linux.

This is capped at 50Mb/s to be a bit cheaper.

Pushing up the price of oil and stopping production could actually be carbon negative.

Coefficient of performance (i.e. energy efficiency) at decent delta-T is always the most important factor and rarely mentioned.

Modern cooling equipment generally has the largest environmental impact from energy consumption, not manufacturing or refrigerant leakage.

Especially with ultra-low-GWP propane or butane refrigerant, though that’s not usually used in large-scale systems.

It’s a ‘why not both’ thing.

My experience is that digital signage displays are still HDMI-only.

Did you not find an answer yourself; i.e. ‘asshole’? Most other anatomical inserts also apply, at least the non-gendered ones.

• Does not offend any particular group, except perhaps those with a colostomy.

• Still an insult.

The remainder are generally insulting because they imply you’re so X that you must be a member of group X. I.e. calling someone brain-dead, an idiot, a moron, slow, the French word for slow etc. You can’t call someone stupid without calling them stupid, even in an indirect way.

Edit: Neanderthal and troglodyte might work on the grounds that you’re comparing them to extinct species, and of course you could go for inanimate objects e.g. thick as pigshit, as smart as a bag of rocks etc.

You also want a weapon you’re familiar with and that you can control. In medieval farming communities, chances are everyone’s used a pitchfork. Axe less so.

Pitchforks also work better as infantry; they’re kind of a mini pike so they’re useful in a mass and against horses. Swing an axe in a mob and it’ll hit your neighbour.

ToS is effectively a contract.

This interpretation of the ToS could be deemed unconscionable, but that seems like the kind of argument that takes a judge and 5-6 figures in legal fees to settle.

An arbitrator is just going to read it, say ‘yup, you broke the rule’, and side with the company.

I would hope so. CFRA seems to be the only explicit protection.

If it was just plain old trademark/copyright law, you’d be right.

It sounds like Tesla are basically saying that you signed an NDA/non-disparagement clause when you bought the vehicle, and therefore it’s a contract dispute.

Doh.

No, no, he’s saying the lesbians give the best BJs…

Especially post Brexit.

That’s not bad pricing wise. There’s very very little prosumer gear that’s multi gigabit and it’s all much higher price, or it’s just a PC with several NICs.

If and when we move to hyperfibre this is going to be pretty high up on the list.

I’m not sure that lossy compression on vectors is strictly impossible.

You can do things like store less colour information and simplify splines so that curves are less complex.

Lots of places also have variable limit signs that get updated based on traffic, accidents etc.

Here in NZ those seem to all be marked on the speed limit maps as 100km/h even if in some places the signs never go above 80.

Ngauranga Gorge is one such location and I believe has the country’s highest grossing speed camera.

“This accident will have been preventable”.

The question seems open to interpretation (which is bad for surveys like this).

If I visit a location that was the site of a mass shooting a few years later, have I been “physically present on the scene of a mass shooting”?

I think you could reasonably answer yes: you’ve been to the physical place where it happened, even if not at the time it happened.

Everything burns up regardless of size. Big things might not finish burning by the time they hit the ground.

You need either enough thrust to slow you to ~mach 2, or a heat shield to do the same by aerobraking.

It’s called aerobraking for a reason: you’re using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat to slow down, but that heat goes into the air and your heat shield instead of brake pads and rotors.

Flags shall be flown from a balloon tethered to the top of the flagpole.

Normally I’d be against the waste of helium but I’m prepared to make an exception.

603 for maglevs, 574.8 for steel rail, set in France in 2007 by a hotted up, modified TGV.

China holds the record for a stock train at 487, set in 2010.

(all per Wikipedia)

It looks like the article might be implying that they will be the fastest trains operating in revenue service when they enter service, but that surely needs to be demonstrated with a production train in revenue service.
