Because there already are tracks without electricity where I live. When coming from a nearby major city by me, the train has to stop for 40 minutes while they switch from an electric to diesel power car. Same process while taking a train into the city, switching from diesel to electric.
Well a battery electric train is probably useful for those routes with a section that isn’t powered.
Not sure if it would be awfully cleaner than a diesel electric train, because those are already pretty efficient as I understand it.
Not sure what the problem is. Keep doing it.
This is how I operate in most traffic jams, since I only own manual cars & it’s much easier on my leg.
I genuinely don’t even remember any specific scenarios where somebody merging in caused me to have to come to a full stop (where I wouldn’t have had to stop if they didn’t merge). Not saying it never happened, but it was so rare and unnotable that I don’t remember.
I do live in the northeast US, so maybe that has something to do with it, but I don’t usually feel like I spend meaningfully more time in traffic because I let a few people in front of me.
Bonus benefit: my life is measurably better since I stopped getting pissed about people being in front of me. Road rage had such a broad impact on me, even after I got out of the car.
At one point, Charles Schwab allowed a password of infinite length, but SILENTLY TRUNCATED ALL PASSWORDS TO 8 DIGITS.
This is something I sent a few angry emails about wherever I could find an opportunity.
I agree - I do use passphrases in some critical cases which I don’t want to store in a password manager.
However, I believe passphrases are theoretically more susceptible to sophisticated dictionary type attacks, but you can easily mitigate it by using some less-common 1337speak character replacements.
Highly recommend a password manager though - it’s much easier to remember one or two complex master keyring passwords & the random generated passwords will easily satisfy any application’s complexity requirements.
I bet they do.
I’ve learned that the best way to get printers to work universally is to buy a printer with ipp support & force a static IP / DHCP reservation. Seems to universally work with every OS I use in my home with no bloaty drivers.
I’ve had some pretty great experience with my Brother multifunction printer / scanner on my Ubuntu server, but never played with Arch.
Best part about Brother’s scanner driver is that it literally just runs a shell script you can modify. I have it set up such that I can scan to PDF from the printer & it will programmatically drop it into my samba share, despite the fact that my printer is not expensive enough to come with the “scan to nas” feature in firmware.
I could be optimistic and say it’s a Porsche engine!
Looks like a Subaru engine
Erm I might be showing my inexperience here.
Is there no equivalent to man LOAD in the commodore world? Or even just help?
That’s the ticket, IMO. I start off assuming they know, then pause to ask “are you familiar with x concept?”
If they say yes and they really mean no, there’s really not a lot I can do. But it seems to make people feel at ease when talking to me - I don’t get called out for over explaining or infantalizing people this way.
You’ve still gotta be good at prompt engineering to make great AI art.
Like you said - it’s a tool which requires nuanced skill like any other art. It just happens to lower the barrier to entry a pretty significant amount
Yeah you can buy a device that bypasses this for $15 on alibaba.
Back in the day, a water bottle would defeat this. It’s not a solution that actually viably works right now.
Yes - this photo is pointing out that it’s not the responsibility of that black man to be nice to you and drive you out of racism.
Would it help? Probably. But it’s not that person’s responsibility to prevent you from being radicalized. It’s on you and on us as a collective.
You don’t feel like you have to be nice or every white person that person runs into will always be seen as shitty - our non-white friends shouldn’t have to bear that responsibility either.
FedEx has my package! Currently estimated to arrive tomorrow, which is one day early!
Hope they post the factory images tomorrow - I like getting my phone set up from scratch with the newest day one patch.
How’s this title look?
Does UPS actually have your package? Or is it just a label for now?
It certainly looks like packages are scheduled to go out today - that lines up with the “12th-13th” estimate google gave me for ground shipping. Maybe they delay shipping for Expedited customers, though.
I don’t have a trade in, so I only have the one package (and my Google store page says it’s all arriving in one package). My FedEx account updated almost exactly the same time I got my email, so I got no advanced notice either.
I suspect you’ll have to wait for Google to send you the “shipped” email in order to confirm your package is actually scheduled to be shipped.
FedEx doesn’t have my package yet, so still no definitive delivery date.
Google appears to use FedEx Standard Overnight shipping for Expedited orders (at least to my region), so that should be next day shipping once FedEx gets the package.
I’m gonna guess maybe they’ll release the package to FedEx tomorrow so I can get it on the 12th? If they ship it today, I’ll have it tomorrow on the 11th.
I hate FedEx, but at least their Express delivery drivers and logistics seem less prone to theft and delay than FedEx ground.
For sim, I utilize iRacing to practice and learn tracks before real life amateur endurance races in champcar and lemons as well as track days.
IMO iRacing physics are so good and the tracks are so well modeled that it’s a very effective learning tool. It’s the first sim since Live For Speed that really feels close enough to real life for me to forget I’m playing a sim.
Plus traffic management and race craft are so crucially important in wheel to wheel racing & I simply don’t get any other opportunity to practice those.
