Maybe just use percentages instead of these weird units. 0.2 MHh per hour is just 0.2 MW, or 20%.

It seems easier to say solar produces an average of 20% of it’s peak capacity.

You bring up heated water as a method of storage, and it reminds me of a neighborhood in Alberta, Canada that uses geothermal + solar heated water storage for 52 homes. They’ve been able to successfully heat the entire neighborhood with only solar over the winter in 2015-2016 and have gotten > 90% solar heating in other years.

There’s a huge number of new storage technologies being developed, and the fact that some even work on a seasonal basis for long term storage is amazing.

I think The Onion has better taste than to joke about this topic.

Definitely dangerous, but I’m less scared of that one. I’ve got detectors for that, and that’s more of a “go peacefully in your sleep” kind of danger.

Ironically the one thing computers are normally good at.

Less used than the Code key apparently. Their editor must crash A LOT if they need a dedicated button to launch it more than A or Space

Well, now this is on my list of invisible things that scare me:

• Radiation
• Methanol fires
• Supercritical steam jets

I believe the lifecycle goes ExceptionLayer, ExceptionIncubator, ExceptionHatcher

It’s critical you don’t throw your exceptions too early, they need to learn to fly first 🤣

My biggest problem with it is that those aren’t verbs. You might have LegCount -> Countable and FleaCount -> Countable though.

They did publish a video of a crash test, but I think Tesla did it themselves and didn’t publish any data, just a “comparison video” with an F150 Lightning.

It didn’t look great… A lot of people were pointing out how tiny the crumple zone is, and the stop seemed more violent than most vehicles.

I’m definitely a fan of the Lightning, but it’s a huge truck, similar to a Raptor in length. It wouldn’t fit in my driveway. They need an EV Mavick or Ranger. (I’ve heard rumors of a Ranger PHEV, which could be a game changer for EV towing)

There’s actually an official transparent case Steam Deck too. They had the limited edition OLED when it first came out.

It’s more than a clickbait headline, the first paragraph is just flat out wrong:

Perhaps best of all, it consumes no energy doing it.

Obviously it’s consuming energy going uphill. Just because the power source is gravity doesn’t mean it’s not consuming energy.

Is that if the channel is inactive, or the viewer’s account? It seems like if you watch anything else, it’s not a problem, but if you’re only subscribed to 1 infrequent channel you might have that problem?

I’d click on the link, but then I’d be contributing to the stats.

I do remember seeing this tweet quoted on the Elon missed prediction tracker: https://elonmusk.today/

Taylor Swift moving to another platform would absolutely cause a massive crowd to follow. Maybe we’ll see it happen one day.

Oh phew, I don’t have flowers on my blanket either. I guess I’m safe too. Otherwise I’m in exactly the same position as this meme, and that would make me have to think about my life choices.

I really enjoy programming, but generally I dislike cooking. I just want to eat, not spend time preparing to eat.

My experience with cooking has been that because I don’t do it enough, I’m constantly dealing with food expiration dates and having to plan carefully around them.

In comparison, I’ve got some servers that have been running maintenance free for 5+ years. (Probably not the most secure thing, but meh, I don’t have customers other than myself)

I think programmers often have hobbies that are more physical though. For me, I like working on my car because turning bolts and working with my hands lets my brain turn off for a while. I could see cooking and following a recipe being in the same category for others.

“I’m going to shoot you in the face” - Man who can’t stop lying if their life depended on it.

“I don’t believe you” - Last words of person shot in face.

Maybe lets not risk it.
