I don’t think you can controlled burn a suburb tho.

The AC my car die, there was no blow. If we drove fast enough we could feel a slight cool breeze.

Hit up YouTube, turns out there is an AC blower fan - makes sense - and the one in my car had probably made it’s last rotation.

Found a replacement part for $50 on eBay, followed YouTube vids to replace. Took about 15 min, and a bit of discomfort. Beautiful cool Air on demand again, in time for that 40C day.

Given that super cheap auto quoted me $350 for the manufacturer recommended part, I like to think I saved myself a lot on going to the mechanic. Pretty chuffed with myself, I know nothing about cars; thanks YouTube.

public toilets are marked on mine?

Just in time for bird flu!

Yes, I think that is how the whole world is voting… But I’m worried that the solution we’re all voting for is a bigger dick, so that what we’re experiencing today will seem pleasurable by comparison.

Thanks for the detailed response!

I’m neither a professional programmer nor a user of Ai but…

Do you think your experience, I’m guessing a pre-ai trained programmer, is reflective of post-ai trained programmers?

Will the inevitable reliance on AI in learning and training, will creativity of new programmers drop? Is that even a problem?

Penny Wong happy to say storming out, throwing papers and flipping the cunts in your meeting the bird wouldn’t be allowed in any workplace - I beg to differ that’s like a HR reprimand at worst for first offense.

Systematic discrimination towards a college based on race? Doesn’t that have legal consequences? Instant termination at my workplace.

Fuck Penny, fuck Labor.

Will he cover it thought, it’s not greens bashing after all.

I mean, it’s a highly visible strategic military position. I’m sure that American can technically give it up, but it’s a huge cost.

US is global military hegemon, no matter how many civ games might make one think they have a cultural victory.

This comment has got me in a spin. Isn’t GNOME the standard DE of fedora workstation?

If people could delay their gratification, and just not buy form scalpers then more chips will become available, and will get greater profits and the scalpers will be left holding the bag.

Win win win.

Didn’t be obtuse.

To fix your logic “It would be a failure if his goal was to keep his movement alive at any cost”. That clearly wasn’t his goal.

Or have I missed the point entirely, and this is not a discussion but some point scoring thing based on digestible one liners.

It’s not a failure, he made a choice. In hindsight we see it as the wrong choice, but we don’t know what the alternative is. We will never know if it was right or wrong, failure or success.

Nothing is ever so simple.

Cold turkey worked for me. Took me 4 attempts. I wasn’t hard on myself for failure, I noted what happened (emotional trauma, stress, alcohol) and prepared myself for the next attempt.

I wanted to quit, so when I relapsed it’s not because I wanted to smoke but because those little cancer stick bastards were trying hardest to kill me. But if they were going to be tough, I could be tougher. I found it easier when I could see the cigs as my enemy.

Look, I don’t want to disagree with your point… But I can’t stand by as you suggest that we evolved from cave men… We may have created civilisations, but we’ve not evolved into a civilized creature… We’re still as uncooked as were 60k years ago.

10 years ago I learnt that southern New Zealand slang uses bespoke or custom as an indicator of poor quality. Someone shittly welded a tow ball onto their car, that’s a ‘custom job’.

Your poorly assembled second hand IKEA bookshelf that’s falling apart and well fucked? A bespoke piece of furniture.

Those words have never bothered me since. Thanks kiwis.

The correct response to this is to ask them to move their bag and sit next to them, whilst there are other empty seats next to other people nearby.

Punish their greed.

I’m inclined to suggest some minor edits… “Either you voted yes or you’re unengaged and/or racist and/or have been manipulated by a brazenly racist no campaign.”

Ok, so I think the core concept you’re building from is that electrons are particles, thus can be placed in a jar like marbles for later use (or gas). However, this is an overly simplistic analogy, and although electrons can be ‘stored’, this presents some challenges. Matter isn’t a ‘physical barrier’ to electrons. You have an insulating container, you put and electron inside it, the electron can travel to the outside of it freely.

This concept is not as exotic as you might think, when you rub someone’s hair with a balloon, you pick up electrons on the balloon. Your balloon is a container of electrons, it’s statically charged. This isn’t just a fun party trick. Things like van der graph generators, and now pelletron particle accelerators use this ‘electron container’ concept to generate big voltages (typically millions of volts).

Capacitors store electrons in a non static way. You have two metal plates that don’t touch, on one side you have an excess of electrons and on the other side you have an excess of positive charge (absence if electrons). If you connect these to plates together they rush to meet.

Batteries are different again, they store electrons in ‘a chemical reaction’. I.e. you have two compounds that will react, but need to transfer electrons for that to occur. The only path for that transfer to occur is via the terminals of the battery.

Light always moves at the speed of light of it’s medium. Storing it requires to first address that challenge.
