- Tesla’s free energy for all plan wouldn’t work. We get closest to it with single wire; Earth return. Earth can’t carry both directions, and the air cannot carry a reasonable amount of power, lightning aside — and you can’t run lightning bolts to each customer
- Tesla’s free energy for all plan would be difficult to metre so it would have to be funded by a flat rate so it would be difficult to encourage people to use less power

And your investor better be on the level of your screwed by them
Our COBOL based system has MAXDATE = 31 Dec 9999
I tried to set a reference year to 9999 to temporarily disable a thing, but a mid-range system couldn’t handle it, we had to use 2099

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Somerville, Massachusetts. This is what good bike lane design looks like. English
4·2 days agoOne of the best things about recumbents is I’d go right under it
Canberra, Australia has ok bike to the airport. No bike parking at the airport, so if you’re seeing someone off you’re probably locking it to a sign or a fence. You’re in with cars for the last kilometre though as the airport doesn’t consider bikes, though the city does
And some serious car brain

1·3 days ago0 and 40 depending on location? We get 6Wh per W installed per day annual average here. We couldn’t get that is 40% was the max. We get 1 to 3Wh/Wi/d in winter and 6 to 12Wh/Wi/d in summer
At midday on a cold sunny spring day we’ll get 105% the nameplate power
Wh/Wi/day is Watt hours per Watt installed per day

8·3 days agoThe usual warranty period is 20 years generating 80% of the nameplate generating Watts
They keep generating reasonable amounts of power 50 or 100 years later, though they tend to get overtaken by new technology in 10 to 20 years, and since they pay for themselves in about 4 years in my area they get replaced while still working well
I think we export our obsolete panels to developing nations
You can’t spare 8 meg? I have games that want 8 gig
You operate better in Emacs if you touch type, but you should learn to touch type if you work in an editor a lot
You rarely need to hold more than crtl, shift and a character, and you have ctrl and shift both sides of the keyboard so it’s easy
Meta is toggled in the default configuration tap it then do whatever key combinations.
Ctrl+g cancels partly complete commands
I think you fall to understand how big the ocean is. Boat antifouling paint isn’t going to have much effect, the small boats that have coming seawater in their exhaust (they don’t exhaust into the water, that would add too much back pressure)
We have acidified the ocean with all the combustion engines in the whole world, but that didn’t require going out on the ocean

Of course he is associated with Epstein. He would have been brought to Epstein’s parties as a celebrity to entertain the other guests
Probably true of several people.
That’s not so. The power flows at the speed of light in the wire, the elections move slowly
The needle used to be called the north seeking needle. It is magnetically south
flows outside the wire, not in it
Yet it propagates at the speed of light in the material the wire is made of
It’s not meaningfully outside until its outside an antenna








I think that’s more than three sisters
