I think he looks like he's about to announce that the Bajoran workers have taken control of Ore Processing and have three minutes to surrender before neurozine gas is vented into the compartment.

"there is a pedophile with dementia who has the power by law to kill everyone on earth for any reason at any time" is a literally true fact

the fact that this is public knowledge but it's scandalous and radical to say it is unfathomably weird, real king's clothes hours

he is a pedophile who has dementia. none of this should be even slightly surprising and it's depressing that it is

I mean, that's basically what the people who set standard spellings did.

The only realistic demand lever we'd have is a mandate to work from home but......

Threading some stuff about oil & oil markets, just basic but hope it helps:
1/ oil markets are what you call β€œfinely balanced”. Supply is usually very very close to demand/consumption. Demand is hard to shift *quickly* in response to supply hiccups.
So even small supply changes = big price effects

former owner/occupier landlord here... what the hell are "landlord rights". You provide a service. You shouldn't get to choose how your tenants earn money.

Victorian women stabbed "Mashers" with hat pins so there is actually a bit of Victorian reality here.

Remember when some right leaning folks described universal Healthcare as "slavery" because the government would be telling them what to do? They better be screaming day and night about this...

Yup its all about the delta v between you and the highway drivers. Closer you are to their speed the less you have to adjust to safely zipper in.

You're going downhill and you're still not accelerating!

Nothing in monroe county scares more than that onramp to 490 North just north of east view mall. Invariably youre behind someone who doesn't accelerate to highway speed until they're a mile down the highway while someone in a BMW is closing the gap at 95mph.

Makes me wonder if the electrical code should have required EV chargers to use a new set of outlet shapes but that's another argument.

There are some issues with regular 240v outlets. It seems like 'regular' 240v drier, range, etc outlets were designed for a different load profile and do not handle the full load for hours an EV can pull very well. There are "EV specific" outlets for this.

On a normal 120v outlet, issues are usually because the outlet is old and worn out. Some cars, and some evses default to 8 amps to reduce the likelihood of an issue when charging at 120v

I haven't had trouble on my newer 120v outlet charging at 12 amps.

I think there's a conflation here. There are a few separate issues at play.

Common 120v 12 amp charging with regular plug issues.

Common 240v big amp plug issues.

Makes me think about the olden days when AOL and the Internet were synonymous. I guess this makes me optimistic. There were a lot of misconceptions about the internet that are no longer common, caused by that.
