Low ABV beverages like wine and beer don’t take age well. Some wines can age in the bottle, but most volume is not made with that in mind. Beer has a shorter shelf life than many people realize. Spirits don’t age (well) in the bottle either.

Ok, yaml is fair game for a LLM. Whitespace sensitive language should die in a fire, markup or otherwise.

And nothing of value was lost.

That’s pretty good though! I kept reading about it how much power video cards draw. I need to get some measurements in under various load with mine. The big part is obviously drives.

Those are good. I got tired of dealing with the unique trouble that comes of having drives attached with a USB JBOD. Also it was just a celeron and kinda melted doen if I ran motion detection with Scrypted.

Idle. Under load a bit more. It’s a mobile chipset, so it is efficient. Not as powerful as a desktop for sure but totally handles my basic workloads.

My NAS draws about 25w (without drives). Show me an old PC with 6 3.5” drive bays that draws 25w.

It’s utter madness that healthcare professionals are allowed to work (in many countries) longer than truck drivers. It’s even more ridiculous that many countries have a medical doctor internship program that is designed by an absolute cocaine fiend assigning 30 hour days - and see nothing wrong with it.

Bezos’ mantra is cut, cut, cut and squeeze. Everything and everyone. Then ask for more. He’s the kind of guy who searches the backpacks of office workers on the way out, even when they’re being paid $200k a year. There’s middle managers all around the world who look at him as an idol. They’re awful people.

Saved this for later.

No shit. Raw materials are tariffed to hell and back.

They do, but many EVs offer a mode (“one-pedal mode”) in which lift-off enters regeneration mode, and it is possible to drive entirely without touching the brake pedal. I think most do a “blended brake” which means that pressing the brake partway uses regen and then pressing harder uses actual brakes.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I think that the one-pedal kinda leads into this as well. You don’t remove your foot from the pedal to decelerate - in fact you keep pressure on it but less than while maintaining speed - and a twitch the wrong way makes it take off.

I am reminded that hand controls for driving are one-pedal, but they’re built backwards from the one-pedal in EVs. Push to stop, pull to start. That means that momentum pushes you into the brakes.

People built this into the Smart Fortwo with a couple chips and wires. I can’t find a reference because it was about 15 years ago they did it, but it wasn’t complicated and the door latch remained entirely mechanical. I think that it was, in turn, a replication of another car’s feature which did this back in the 80s.

I think it’s 99% cost savings.

There’s also no reason that it’s a software handle. The interior “handles” on the model 3 I’m led to believe are a button with no connection to the handle and there’s an emergency release buried somewhere in the back seat. Saving $0.50 per car just like GM. “The lawsuits are cheaper.”

The rapid acceleration is fun but the average person who’s trying to take off their sweater or reach for their water bottle or whatever in the car is going to accidentally jam the pedal down and kill themselves. I suspect all these “unintended sudden acceleration” are just someone mashing the pedal and not having the reaction time to lift off. Almost every gas car will give you time and audible indication to react. Electric cars - people carriers, with screaming toddlers and pets, not sporty ones - simply reach 100mph in 7 seconds.

Happens all the time. Especially the more fundamentalist you get.

Isn’t that the fucking problem!

In no way excusing the behaviour, but there’s a massive exodus of people from India globally, and as a visible minority, it makes it easy to pick on them in particular.

Globally the money is accumulating towards wealthy individuals but it’s somehow easier to blame the new neighbour because he puts spices in his food.

And a lot of these people aren’t getting the 1%APR loans; they’re getting the 15%.
