3 hours agoYeah, but he’s right about that part. Hybrid cars are just BEVs with more steps that can’t be recharged at home. Maybe useful for planes and other specific applications. Dumb for cars.

I remember having my mind blown in college when I saw a Mac Pro tower running Ubuntu in a lab.

If you want to spite this guy, ride a bus.
Huh. Didn’t know TiVo was still around.
We use a Tabo at home. Like TiVo, but primarily for network access from phones/media streamers. Has a similar lifetime subscription too.
You could even use one from the 1940s if you want!
Assuming your tuner was manufactured later than around 2005 and supports ATSC digital broadcasts. Also makes me wonder when you got your TiVo. I thought they were dead long before everything went digital.
Yeah, and increasing your buying power can talk you into making a larger purchase than you might otherwise have made.
What a coincidence that the best broadcaster who ever lived or will ever live happened to be alive in time for us to record him and immortalize his voice to use for generations to come.
That’s why we’re doing this, right? Because there’s no other human alive who is capable of reading a script as well?
Yeah, mine can boil a liter of water in 101 seconds at 450ft altitude.
I had a unique opportunity to directly compare my infrared cooktop (which I mislabeled as resistive) and my new induction cook top, so I did a little experiment to compare them: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/seaint/for_anyone_contemplating_upgrading_from_an/
TLDR: It boiled water in half the time using roughly half as much energy. Part of that may be due to the test pot being smaller than the burner, but this was the case for both stoves. It’s just the induction doesn’t heat the space around the pot.
Technically LBJ killed the small truck with the chicken tax. If nobody can afford to import reasonably sized European and Asian trucks, we’re left with whatever the big three churn out.
Handling a pet peeve of mine. 3 seconds into the video, he talks about induction stovetops and shows a picture of a glass top radiant stove.
Radiant stoves are just slightly better than electric resistive stoves. They are not induction though they can look similar. People try them and hate them and assume induction is terrible when it isn’t.
The only thing I can think about is if you billed to a university address. A couple electronics outlets I shopped at would give discounts for students and universities.

221·4 days agoLeeches are such cool creatures. I had a run-in with them while canoeing in Manitoba. Just one or two latched on. It’s really incredible how they can move their bodies around in the water yet maintain the exact texture and fluidity of the water itself. You’d never be able to feel one if it brushed up against you.
Also crazy how well whatever numbing chemical they produce works.
If you want to safely observe one up close, you can get them to latch on to your finger nail where they can’t do any damage.
I scrolled down and saw the video.
Best explanation I’ve seen is that humans judge distance and size assuming a relatively flat surface (a dozen miles or so in any direction is fairly flat even though the Earth is round).
Things far along the horizon tend to be small because they’re far away. This isn’t the case for the Moon. So our brains assume it’s far away, but it’s the same apparent size, ergo, it must be massive.
Like we know Mt Rainier is massive and far away, so given this photo, we might assume the moon is massive.
Higher in the sky, there’s no real point of reference. Also, you might visually process the sky as a flat layer above the ground, so the same parallax trick applies. I.e. the sky above you is closer than the sky/ground at the horizon. Therefore Moon is “closer” and appears smaller.
need a vehicle that sits high
Why does anybody need a vehicle that “sits high”?
Just seemed odd to pay your way into the Apple ecosystem just to wipe it and install Ubuntu
