  • Another street track ☹️

    (It is right?)

  • Solar panel output falls off in the heat too unfortunately. Having plants underneath would actually help cool them!

  • My understanding is that there are some interesting demographic effects at play in Israel - their percentage of heavily religious population has been increasing and is therefore getting more and more political control.

    The ultra-orthadox (I think this is the term) Jews are also exempt from military service I believe.

    This is/could lead to increased internal instability in the coming years/decades.

  • What is the likelihood that you could set up a server to bridge the two protocols?

  • Ideally, using just IP6 would be simpler, as every device gets a global address. Then you don't need to mess with NAT, port forwarding and all that bullshit. Every device having multiple addresses just complicates things.

  • I helped at my local park run this morning. They can fill out a lot of role with people doing their Duke of Edinburgh, but still need help so they get a chance to run too!

    Edit: https://www.parkrun.com/ (for those that don't know what it its - free 5Km run every weekend (with timing))

  • What are the pros/cons of brave (what is it even)? Are they actually a search engine, or just re-skinning Bing or something like DDG does?

  • Disintegrate would be even better as it prevents resurrection, it's quite a high level spell slot though.

  • The barriers would have worked too ☹ (lava from the main vent has been redirected away)

  • Ah, that's a shame, they placed the barriers on an area around the town that had never had an eruption (just lava).

    Looking at the live videos I have to admit I had to laugh initially, it looks so much like Mother mature just saying FU to our attempts to control her, it stops for the barrier, has a gap, then pops up again just outside town. (Man made lava barrier route (ish - as far as I can see, guessing in the distance, if even built) highlighted - it even left a nice gap for the barrier!)

    I guess it just shows how you can't trust volcanos!

  • Practical Engineering has a lot of civil engineering videos explaining how a lot of the infrastructure we rely on works/was built.

    He uses a lot of well filmed practical demonstrations in his garage to explain the concepts.

  • everyday astronaut has some extremely in depth videos about space and rockets, order by popular and go!

    Not particularly useful in every day life though.

  • Most houses in the UK have double glazing. Not all (somehow - if there isn't a grant for that there should be!) but by now most have upgraded.

    Triple glazing appears to be getting started, I got a free upgrade to triple when I upgraded!

  • If this was a permanent plug, wouldn't it make sense to have a overlap (flange?) On the inside so it physically wouldn't fit out of the door? They know the pressurisation force is always (hopefully!) Going to be outward.

  • Flying missions to there from Cyprus feels like we are doing it just to show we can, surely that could have been handled much easier by the US carrier...

    I wonder which countries we overflew to do it?

  • Oh look, more really expensive looking electric cars that most can't afford.

    I know it makes sense to start at that end of the market, but damn if it isn't annoying.

  • Fired or quit.... Or moved somewhere else?

  • What does this mean for most users? What features does this allow/improve that they couldn't implement before?

    Do we know why they are doing this if it's so unusual?

    Edit: and is this an Android change or a Google change? Is a particular android version picky about what Linux version it's built on?

  • Roundabouts and bikes aren't really a problem? It's normally safer to do them normally than dismount and use the pedestrian crossings like they seem to want you to do (unless there are traffic light controlled crossings)

    You just have to hold your lane like you are a car.
