You can leave them full length with only a third of the length in the water, they quickly soften and slump and the rest can be immersed

It was ok. I and it went through about four iterations going from "that's a sun tracker, I asked for a heliostat" through undeclared variables, global variables that should have been local until it was a fine program with just the fault that there was no such library as solar::heliostat [azimuth, altitude]

I have read that people have run into that sort of problem and have written the library the AI called for, but I looked up a real astronomy library

I have too many subscriptions, and use the bell on all of them so as I get the notification I can add the video to watch later

It doesn't work though. YouTube seems to have limits on how many notifications it'll throw. Something like six of my channels are related and upload at the same time. I only get about two notifications

So about once a week I have to go through my subscription list and add any missed videos

Sure but the problem isn't the name "unskilled worker", if we renamed the category the people in it would still be easy to replace and so have low wages because training a new person in the job is still going to be cheap and easy

It's a type of cabbage

Yeah. I asked GPT3 for some heliostat code, to keep reflected sunlight stationary. It was wrong, it hallucinated libraries that didn't exist, but it roughed out a program that was easier to fix than it would have been to start from scratch.

Maybe its superpower is beating inertia, getting you started

Long rural trips for cars are fine on electric, as long as there is fast charging on the way. The car takes as long to top up as the human takes to take a break from driving

Trucks, ships, aeroplanes, off roading will need dense fuel. Trains might need fuel, but most of those should be electric

literally prevent me from functioning

And that's literally. Inability to leave bed isn't enough

The Earth is in fact larger than a beach ball

Larger to us than a beach ball is to an ant (which can't perceive the curve of the ball)

🎵It's raining man, hallelujah but why did they blend him?

It's a great video. My friends and I have watched it many times

But it's an electric car with a much lower efficiency than one that uses batteries

People don't seem to get it. Electricity to hydrogen to electricity to motion is really, really lossy, and hydrogen leaks. It is worse than electricity to hydrogen to methane to power.

I think Teslas get stranded because they lie about their remaining range

You can use regular power outlets if you drive less than a couple of hundred kilometres a day. I charge mine on a 15 amp 240V plug and it charges from 30% to full in about 10 hours. I charge about weekly

The good thing about modern batteries is that in a decade after they are new and are down to 80% capacity, if that's not enough for you and you want to keep the car, a new battery will be cheaper and/or better

Leaf owners got twice the range from new batteries compared to the car when it was new

1. Almost all hydrogen is made from fossil fuels, it's much cheaper than green hydrogen, so you can guess what people would fuel their hydrogen cars with
2. Electricity to hydrogen to electricity is really wasteful, you get less than a third the energy than you would if you went electricity to battery to electricity
3. It's really difficult to store and transport, it is very very low density. Being the smallest atom hydrogen can leak from practically any container or pipe, but that doesn't compare to (2) above

I think Toyota only promoted hydrogen because they knew it would give internal combustion more time. Toyota are really good at internal combustion engines

Pick something else safe in future, mate, using vaccines as an indicator of safety makes you look like you're an idiot making the opposite point

The bus must stop at other stops, wait at an interchange for passengers, then drive in the same lanes as cars (though there are limited lanes on some major roads)

There are no dedicated lanes on the route in my example, though it also is an express bus which doesn't stop at the interchange between where I live and the town centre. Also it is speed limited slower than the rest of traffic on the main road of the route

Do you live in an earth return electric place?

Most of us live in places where the AC power is returned by the neutral line, and earth only in case of fault

You could put an active on one end of a swamp, and a neutral on the other end of the swamp, and electrocute (in the original meaning) your Nazis or whatever. Which war are we talking about, I'm three bollocks deep?
