Right, we bulldoze forests to make fertile land available. I agree that’s bad, I don’t want celery from that land either

I cannot eat grass, ruminant animals can. How is it inefficient for me to eat the animal rather than the grass?

You don’t need to do a lot of enforcement to change that behaviour. And you can do the enforcement with red light cameras

A stuck pedal turns the steering towards the barrier? I think the driver had a stroke or heart attack and stopped steering

At 3.18pm on 10 May 2018, Stefan Meier lost control of his Model S on the A2 highway near the Monte Ceneri tunnel. Travelling at about 100kmh (62mph), he ploughed through several warning markers and traffic signs before crashing into a slanted guardrail. “The collision with the guardrail launches the vehicle into the air, where it flips several times before landing,” investigators would write later.

The driver crashed, it doesn’t sound like it was in self driving mode.

Indeed, but cheaper than enough batteries to cover those times

In the off grid home scale one I’d size and set the generator to run for several hours in a row to fully charge the battery on days when the battery was at a sufficiently low charge entering the night, at least that’s what my current modelling suggests. Diesel gensets work best when running fully loaded for at least long enough to warm up

I guess at grid scale you find the sweet spot where most years the gas power station and batteries are balanced to provide cheapest power averaged over the year

The diagram shows that they fall short on winter mornings

My own modelling to decide what size battery I want for my house says it’s easy almost every day, but when you have three rainy and overcast days in a row you need a battery far larger or an alternative. For me the alternative is the grid; at grid scale it’s gas generators

I use keepass, it’s a little more work than many closed source ones, but it’s only as online as you want it to be, and runs on anything

My “smart” bulbs are at the less online end of the spectrum, they host local wifi or bluetooth for configuration via their app, but even that can bite you

I added a wifi range extender to address the problem of stuff at one end of the house regularly losing connection and needed to point one of a particular brand at the new wifi

Its app hadn’t been updated and I needed to dig out my old phone stuck on an old version of Android to set the bulb up again

You lost a bit of credibility when you misspelt atoms

Supermarket speedrun any%

Yeah me too, which is one of the ways I know I don’t have ADHD. I’m straight in, grab the things I’m there for, visit no other aisles, don’t pick up any impulse buy items.

ADHD is about how they get distracted from things they should be doing to the point it makes life harder

Yeah I don’t think a ADHD sufferer is going to be hyper focused in as visually noisy a place as a supermarket

The way my brother in law describes his ADHD does not include terms like laser focused.

I don’t filter at all, I don’t like the chance of false positives. Like I’m sick of content about a particular EV company, but I wouldn’t want to miss news about them dumping their CEO

It’s not hard to scroll past stuff I don’t like

I use it mostly for family chats, I got the extended family to use it rather than Facebook Messenger

What makes you not trust signal as against WhatsApp?

Email is quite a bit safer than people think, especially if you host your own. Typically it is encrypted from point to point, so if a company emails me it goes through their internal system to their gateway, is encrypted using SSL and transmitted directly to my server where it’s stored until I connect over an SSL encrypted link to download my mail

Even an ISP will have almost everything encrypted as it really is the default now

There’s practically no chance for a man in the middle attack

I do accept unencrypted mail but nothing arrives on port 25 (unencrypted email) except scam attempts to get spam forwarded (which are denied)

I got depressed and pretty useless, she got sick of it and left

What are the arguments

“Protect delicate children’s eyes from seeing nudity”

I think that’s about it
