I have one like tiramichu and also like it. Use it constantly and it’s convenient to be able to share things on my screen with people on the other side of my desk occasionally, making it more practical than something built-in to the laptop.

If you use the subscription for like a single console generation, you find out most of the cost of the console was hidden in the find print via those installment payments. At least with the PS5Pro, thanks to the really high console price and relatively short time til the PS6, the cost of the subscription isn’t that much if you intend to upgrade to the PS6 immediately. But if you got the original 5 and planned to keep it until the 6, then you might be spending more on your PS5 basic-tier subscription than the MSRP of the PS5Pro (and double if you used premium the whole time).

I’m sure they’ll behave in the future thanks to these Big fines…

Huh? Having fins isn’t a nationality? Irish was just an example of an adjective. Not sure why you are bringing it up?

trans people are self-defined so it’s not something outside their control.

Sorta, but the statement seems to show a pretty relevant and significant misunderstanding. Trans isn’t like an easily externally identifiable trait like skin color (technically an autopsy could potentially provide evidence for being trans even in those who’ve never taken hormones or done any gender-affirming surgeries, but like we are talking about correlates, not defining features). But like neither is autism. You find out basically by asking.

For sports, some leagues have started dealing with the existence of trans people and hormone-doping cis women by simply making sports divisions include hormone requirements. Its not really about whether the person is trans or cis though, so it means some cis women who aren’t doping get excluded from cis women sports with such rules.

PS: gender and race are both just made up.

Yeah. Cyborgs.

Trans women are women just like Irish women are still women. Trans men are men just like finned men are men.

Like transhuman sports category? For cyborgs and such? Could be cool, but also could incentivize people give their body away to companies to make money. Guess first we just need to do away with companies.

Also a gap in the high-wheel count, mid-sized market!

I think warehouses have things that would probably count, but we need consumer-facing options!

I think Trump does show some ADHD like behavior too, again I’m not a professional, but I think the problem for people with ADHD is that they forget where they came from, and Trump does seem to be able to get back to that.

Couldn’t that just be because it typically has a teleprompter telling him what he’s supposed to be talking about?

For me, it took me several months to use the 100 trial searches. Paying $5/month for like 20 searches isn’t worth it for me. Also just not into getting more subscriptions… wouldn’t matter if it was just 50 cents/month for the basic plan. If they had one-time-payment no-expiration option like 1000 searches for $10, I’d probably lean towards getting that.

Happy when I get ice cream that doesn’t take 10 minutes to thaw enough to not bend spoons. Never seen anything close to what you’ve described though; just soft enough that you can generally eat it with some force straight from the freezer.

If you want an equivalent vehicle, you need that kind of capacity. If you want to match the range of a vehicle with a 24gallon tank (ie: if you want to convert a typical ICE truck into an EV), you probably need a 200kwh pack. If you want to match a ~12 gallon tank (ie: if you want to convert a typical ICE sedan into an EV), you probably need a 100kwh pack. If you had a car efficient enough to get 1000 miles on 100kwh, you’d be comparing it to a 3 gallon tank for an ICE equivalent. To match an 8 gallon tank (ie: a 2-seater car), you need about 60 kwh battery. Even if you want to compare a 80mile range fortwo EQ to a 300 mile range ICE fortwo, its already 300lbs heavier without even being close on the range and being quite limiting for even just normal commuting around here (assuming you don’t have a guaranteed charger at work).

Ventoy is cool. Wish clonezilla didn’t have issues with images being in the same device as clonezilla, but that’s not ventoy’s fault. I still just have a windows boot drive lying around since before ventoy, so I forgot to consider that. Granted, I’m not sure how many people who already have ventoy setup and defaults to using it without looking up guides and l wanted to install W11 on an old device for some reason would find it hard to figure out how to do so.

Given what the top selling vehicles are in the US, I don’t expect people to be smart, even if they’re pay more upfront and long-term for their stupidity.

Lack of a need for that won’t stop people from getting them if that’s an option…

Probably about the same as such a battery, maybe a little less? The electric motor is still gonna push the EV weights above the equivalent ICE by a little. Either way, neither is gonna be comparable to the much larger vehicles on roads. Which includes buses (which I don’t think we should be trying to disincentivize although it should be considered in the planning stages of deciding between BRT and alternatives like rail). But due to the 4th power law, if we scaled taxes based on damaged done to roads, the only consumer vehicles (excluding things like trailers) that would even notice the tax would be a the few at the highest end.

I certainly don’t and wouldn’t consider it. But if someone wants 1000 miles of range, we probably aren’t getting that without some major technological breakthroughs in material sciences any time soon without packs around 100kWh.

Even if you don’t make them giant and obscenely inefficient, a 100kwh pack is gonna weigh over 300kg. Doesn’t matter if that gives it 1000 miles of range or 400 miles.

Rufus does.

You still have to decide what you are doing with different storage devices and partitions, regardless of what OS you are installing. If you have a single storage device and a single OS, it’s probably straight forward. If you add more, it gets more complicated. At least with windows, if it’s your only OS, the assumption is you will let it handle everything and it’s all just nfst. With Linux, it often seems to want to make all sorts of partitions (at least home, root, and swap? Idr since it’s been some time), make decisions about file systems and what type of partition. I rather not leave those choices up to default autopartition options, especially when dualbooting.

Does the scooter run on arch yet?
