The issue is this:
A) Your lane is ending. Drive to the end of the lane and then merge. Simplest reason: why the fuck would they build that much lane if you’re not supposed to drive on it? Alternate reason: you’re just stretching the traffic jam farther back where it could be blocking people from exiting or getting on.
B) Your lane is exit only. Get the fuck out of that lane, you’re blocking people legitimately trying to exit. You’re a cheating cheater and you’re clogging the exit lane.
C) Your lane is not an exit and you want to get into an exit lane. Get into the exit lane as soon as possible. Late merge is just going to clog up a lane and you’re a cheating cheater.
These situations are not the same but people think they are.
You forgot to put it in a PDF and charge $2 million.
Let us not forget “priDEMONth”
It makes more sense when you realize that you are not the target customer. C-suite people are the target customer. They have no idea what real work looks like, so whatever it barfs out looks perfect to them.
Betcha on land they understand Bet they don’t reprimand their daughters
Mermaids are famously delusional about the lives of humans.
12·19 days agoMy wife and I ditched streaming for just owning music through bandcamp or CD. We’ve exported her Spotify playlists. If anybody has a link to a tool for generating local playlists from exported Spotify JSONs (for tracks you own, and a list of tracks you need to complete them), I’m all ears.
does the UI just render blank squares in that case?
AWS wasn’t profitable because they were reiinvesting all their revenue back into growing the service. If they chose to stop growing, they could have been profitable at any point.
AI as an industry is actively, violently unprofitable. They can’t even afford to keep the lights on without torching investor money. The more they grow, the faster they lose money.
The fuses protect the lines upstream to the next protection device. That doesn’t mean every house could max out their breaker at the same time. Just like you can’t pull the max amperage on each circuit breaker in your panel without popping the mail breaker.
To answer your question, most American homes I’ve seen have 240V at 200A. Some older homes have 100A.
Nah, he’s into weirder shit
My dudes. There is no dot after the Dr in Dr Pepper. They didn’t spend 8 years in Dr school to be called Dr.
Primer
Insanely low budget, very realistic depiction of engineers. Super complicated plot which gives it great replay value.
If you watch it for the first time, the audio sync issues are not part of the plot. They had to re-dub a lot of the movie and they didn’t do a great job.

But plenty of people in the late 90s did when the EV-1 came out with its lead-acid and later NiMH batteries. Modern EV battery tech wasn’t built for EVs, it was built for general applications, worked its way into consumer electronics and then from there into EVs. In fact, many modern EV batteries are made up of 18650 cells which were first used in laptops.
The Donut labs thing would make sense if they were also spinning off an energy company and just using the motorcycle business to get attention. Tesla and Ford have already successfully spun off energy branches though in their case it’s more to take advantage of their production capacity over any major leap in battery tech.

Motorcycles are just such a small market compared to the application space for a high performance EV battery. It makes no sense to limit a new battery to that.
