The receptacle thing sounds like an attempt at vendor lock in.

It’s a corporate laptop, so no telling what it’s trying to do.

I don’t make it to the next day. I hear the fan running full blast in my bag while it commits seppuku.

In truth, I’m just a Frank Lloyd Wright fanboy.

Phonograph consoles always had a lid to open, meaning you couldn’t put anything on the top. These flip out and slide out style units solved a real problem.

I’m trying to spread that term here in the SE US. Everyone looks confused so I say “string trimmer”. “you mean weed eater?”

I wish this had stuck.

Go to a junk yard and look around the import section. Without a front bumper, it can be very hard to tell what make a car is.

Even RMS gave up on curl and elinks

But how will I know Happy Honda Days is over and it’s Toyotathon now?

Lovely shot! One of my favorite folk songs is called The Cuckoo Bird

If you charge overnight, the base load is less likely to be fossil fuel. If it is fossil fuel, emission controls on a power plant are far more effective than anything with wheels.

The average car emits 400g CO2 per mile

My power company emits 364g per kWh, which will take an EV about 3 miles. So that’s ~120g CO2 per mile, one third of a gasoline car.

That’s the total mix- natural gas is the primary peak fuel so charging at night is likely less than 100g/mile

If that’s bad for your business, can you really call yourself a capitalist?

New backronym for dd just dropped

dysk dystroyer

They’re so fucking myopic. A $50k per year chemical manufacturing operator is going to fuck up $20k worth of equipment and finished product a year compared to a $65k per year.

A $100k/yr technician will save your bacon twice a month and make it look easy. The $70k/yr parts changer will misdiagnose away that $30k you ‘saved’ in about 6 months.
