Because when looking to replace work horses with a steam engine you didn’t care what the absolute peak output of a horse was. You needed to know how big of an engine you needed based on how large the team of horses already powering the application was. Anyone trying to run a horse anywhere near their peak output for any length of time would injure them.

Easter Egg

I think so since it was a 2021 model.

The auto stop-start functionality was also really rough. Overall, it just was not a pleasant driving experience.

I just spent a weekend in a rented crosstrek. I hated the throttle curve. It’s super twitchy at low speeds and lacks power at highway speeds. It made navigating parking lots way more finnicky than necessary.

Making your own sign wouldn’t be vandalism at all. That would just be subject to local ordinances about displaying signage.

In case anyone seriously considers doing something like this, you should know that vandalizing or removing political yardsigns is a misdemeanor in every state and can carry fines of $1000 and up to 90 days in jail per sign.

Sharing the meme is pefectly legal though.

I’ve had lettuce “melt” overnight. Lettuce can easily freeze if the fridge has to run hard to cool something large down and the lettuce is close to where the air comes out of the condensor. Then when the fridge is at an idle state, the lettuce thaws and is just mush.

Well the context was a concern about a defamation suit resulting from this post. If the company never found this post then the anonymity of the poster is irrelevant anyway. The company could easily tell who made this post based on the timing of their already existing email correspondance seeing as this is clearly not a request they receive often.

That’s flawed logic. The company would pretty easily know who has been emailing to request the source code for that specific tool in the timeline just before this post. The lemmy profile may be anonymous, but I doubt OP’s emails were.

If you have a long shadow, the sunlight that gets to you has gone through much more atmosphere which attenuates the ultraviolet light. So at high/low lattitudes and during morning/evening hours the amount of uv that gets to the surface is much lower.

Playing games on pc and getting xbox button hints while using a Playstation or Nintendo controller is a special kind of frustrating. Like anything else, you get used to it, but I think I would like the position based hints you describe a lot better.

Or have someone at home base drive over with the key. That might be cheaper than a heavy vehicle tow.

I don’t get why the streaming services would care what media people watch. Are they pushing stuff that is cheaper to license?

I’ve had that happen with what i assume was a hand lotion because there was a particular part of the lid that smelled.

I don’t know why other people are treating you with so much disbelief. This absolutely can happen with people not thinking about how their habits impact what customers are consuming. With how many millions of coffee beverages that are served every day, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that some small portion are handled improperly with poor hygiene. It also shouldn’t be overly surprising if you’ve had it happen multiple times because you likely visit the shops near you. Such an event isn’t random and is the result of someone’s bad habits.

When the outside is a freezer, yeah. Given the usual range of moose that’s true for like half the year.

No, never. Current charging rates already get close to thermal constraints. Hitting those charging rates either requires accepting much lower power density or using way more metal per cell. This research might inform design changes to improve charging rates, but we’ll never see high capacity batteries charging in a minute.

The researchers know this and only mention wearables and iot devices applications. The article author erroneously makes the leap to high energy density devices.

If you don’t care about energy density at all, ceramic capacitors can already charge and discharge in microseconds.

I’m not an astronomy expert, but I believe that the effect of the jets can be seen distorting dust clouds surrounding such objects.

I wouldn’t have bought the speaker had I known how much of a walled garden the sonos ecosystem is. So I figured I should warn you to find out what limitations Sonos comes with before you start locking yourself in.

I have a Sonos speaker from ikea and I hate how locked down it is. It won’t let you do a normal Bluetooth connection even though I guarantee the wifi modem in it has Bluetooth. You can only stream from apps that pay for sonos integration.

He was an old guy without a lot of employment options, so getting fired likely had a very negative impact on his quality of life. I know he did it to himself, but it’s the only time where a decision I made was a clear link in the chain of someone else’s life getting significantly worse. It was necessary, but still sucked.
