Thanks for pointing that out so I didn’t have to.

What’s the alternative? Waterfail?

Yeah because business requirements and technology is changing at an ever slower rate…

My ICQ ID was a rather low number…

No one, it just makes sense.

You must be one of those “Throw your mother downstairs, the box of tissues” types.

Yoda sounded normal to you I bet.

If your dome light isn’t an LED, then you should replace it with one. It won’t completely fix your problem but it will give you 9 to 10 times longer to catch it.

There’s really no reason that every car doesn’t have a voltage cut off to protect the battery such that it can still start. Additionally, if they just included a super capacitor then even with a heavily discharged battery, it could charge up the super capacitor to then start the car.

But if we went around doing smart stuff like that then we could potentially wreck the entire lead acid battery industry and that would just be awful…

I can’t come more than 20 times anymore. What do I do with the other hour and a half of battery time?

It’s made from sodium silicate… Which is made from sand.

But of a slippery slope. What else do we need to encode?

A barcode doesn’t have enough bits to be unique and also contain useful information. It’s just a unique identifier that can be used to look up a wide variety of information.

For bolts, it could be metal grade, thread pitch, load ratings, manufacturer info etc

Someone complained about… Staplers?

I haven’t needed a stapler at work in tech for uh…at least 5 years.

It’s almost as if deregulation of the energy industry was a bad move…

I think hybrids need to be built like EVs with on board range extender generators. I believe the Volt was that way but if you had enough battery to cover 120 miles full EV with plug-in recharge most of the time it would be full EV. Long trip? Generator kicks on at mile 100 and takes you an absurd distance.

The latest Toyota hybrids are pretty great but they need competition. Sadly the Volt died.

Kia/Hyundai/Ford/Audi should make “Range extender” versions trading half the battery pack for generator and fuel weights to up the pressure.

Full EV might not be great for long trips, but full ICE is silly compared to a hybrid.

Make the F-150 standard truck get 40mpg on gasoline on trips, EV around town and you have a winner.

I’m Happy to see more competition for jira. Jira has been around for 20 years but honestly it looks and acts the same as it did 20 years ago, except slower if you had the sense to provision it well on bare metal back then. The jira in the cloud experience at many companies has been less than stellar.

LiFePo batteries are pretty safe and last a long time. The just need a heated blanket for sub freezing to charge. There’s some videos showing puncture resistance/fire resistance between battery types. Neat stuff.

Will Prowse has one I think

Me too. And their revolutionary hydrogen car that everyone will turn to by the year yesterday

The same Toyota that declared that electric vehicles were a non-starter and that hydrogen vehicles were the future?

I think hydrogen will be in the future, but not for a while. Toyota is having to make lots of promises to make up for Kia and Hyundai eating their lunch.

You’re right. As a Tesla owner there’s every reason to want the power, range, and maybe a couple of the features but with tangible controls etc

The Kia/Hyundai offerings are probably your closest bet.

I almost never use the assists. I don’t mind the idea that if the computer sees a looming impact it will brake for me though.

Nah.FBI tricked criminals into using a network they could monitor.

I was wrong. More like 10 seconds
