A man—made incident occurred on the tanker during engine start-up, as a result, the engine room was damaged," Governor Alexander Drozdenko said.

It’s such a shame there was an accident on one of the shadow fleet ships. Hope nothing comes of the others when they come to port. /s

Thank you, my pedantic friend. (I say this because I’m often the one making the comment and getting the eyerolls)

socratic method: a method of teaching by question and answer; used by Socrates to elicit truths from his students https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method

Same here, I was a big fan of Nova until I discovered Niagara about a year ago. It’s a totally different concept from the icon based launchers. I love the minimalist approach to widgets and the self optimizing app list. Tying it in with sesame has led me that product as well and I’m finding the whole solution to be really nice

Christmas is already after New Year’s in the current calendar year ;)

Have you heard of the Uighurs or Tibet?

I mean just because you like taking a bath or swimming doesn’t mean you’re going to enjoy standing in the rain too

Umm that’s donuts if they’re from Dunkin’ 😜

US here, before COVID I would tip delivery drivers but not if I was picking it up. Now I tip 10-15% for takeout and 20%-25% for table service. I’ve also come to understand that checking your order, packing the bag, and including condiments or extras all take time and I’ve decided I’m ok tipping for that if it helps them earn a more decent living.

Yeah, you don’t want toddlers learning gun safety the hard way

When you’re talking about relative change, one degree F is 5/9 of a degree c, so if London cools by 18F that would be 10c.

I’m not sure where that number came from but according to Wikipedia the conversion from momentum to electricity loses 10-20% and the conversion from electricity to battery storage is another 10-20% leaving a theoretical recovery at 60-70%. In real world tests, Teslas recovered 20-32% range with regenerative braking, a far cry from 2-5% you cite. https://electrek.co/2018/04/24/regenerative-braking-how-it-works/

For sure! My community is served by a volunteer department and I joined a couple years ago, definitely a rewarding experience. Now not only have I gotten to sit in a truck, but I drive them, have learned all sorts of cool tools like the jaws of life and get to work with a great group of people serving our community.

You don’t need to be young and fit either (I’m not!), there’s a job for everyone. Anyone who’s interested should definitely check out their local department. Most have active Facebook pages sharing updates and their website should have info on how to learn more about joining.

Idle losses are real but not very substantial in a modern engine compared to the bigger factor you’re missing which is that in city driving tests there is a lot of speeding up and slowing down, ICE vehicles throw away all the energy used to slow down as heat in the brakes which makes city cycles particularly inefficient while an EV captures that energy through regenerative braking, dramatically reducing the net cost of those momentum changes.

It’s the New York Post, temperature would be a chilly 45F for their American audience

I wonder if an argument could be made that birthdate is a component of your genetic information including family medical history? It is also potentially age discrimination?

Funny I unintentionally searched kagi with the keywords in the wrong order - and got it in the first result

Wow that’s fantastic! Great job!

Yeah I’ll admit I had to read that sentence a couple times before it got through to me that “barred” meant she was admitted to the bar.
