They are going to keep those coal plants as back up but the amount they use then is decreasing.

At the same time they are rapidly moving transport into electricity and they are growing their electrical demand.

This year should be the tipping point where coal and oil usage drops. Capacity and number of coal is meaningless.

I’d go to one.

I went to Qatar and tried to find out if they did LPG tours. They don’t. :( well at least not easily.

You’re right, nothing compares to one man’s anecdotal evidence.

Averages are much better than edge cases in this sort of comparison.

20 years vs 14

That’s batteries of the past. The rate of change in batteries has been so dramatic it has left people’s understanding behind.

Batteries will far outlive when a ICE car would have been scrapped.

I was using libre tube for a while and that broke.

What’s the best link for revanced?

No what you don’t understand is women are completely powerless and must be protected at all cost. They can’t be responsible for their own decisions. If a (female) adult wants to date another adult then it must be okayed by other people that have nothing to do with the situation. Otherwise everyone needs to step in and protect them.

I think people refer to it as equality.

Honestly in some ways this is such a stupid solution to the problem.

When it comes to cost saving or on the other side of the coin efficiency. The most useful thing is to remove it not make it cheap.

We should be looking and giving people very good and easy alternatives elsewhere were they don’t need call centres at all.

I called my doctors a million times to book an appointment and if I could have done it all online I would have. This is how many times I called:

Went to hospital and Dr told me book drs appointment.

1. called to book

2. they call back asked futher questions

got one (got told to come back by doctor)

3. can’t book that doctor for the future call up first thing in the morning at our busiest and we can rush you in. (I then got a job so needed to book)

4. we have no staff call back when we do (didnt say when)

5. called. We have no appointments call be next week. “Can I book that Dr”? “I don’t know. You’ll have to call back Tuesday”

6. I’ll call back next tuesday.

This isn’t fixed with an AI this is fixed by me being able to book an appointment online. If the Dr needs to give me a slip for one booking approval to not be abused so be it. Receptionist doesn’t need to know my business so fuck them.

Yea but if I want to find something I want to be able to find it.

Man I feel like a large part of the internet is out of reach.

Why have I got to sign up for tiktok just to watch this happen?

Shit like this used to be easily finable on google or something. Now I can’t seem to find shit. All I get get in news articles about it.

Thank you. I didnt know about lenovo so that’s good to know.

System76 seems especially out of my price range. I haven’t bought a computer for 12 years, can’t believe laptop’s cost more now (even accounting for inflation) than they did back then. It’s unbelievable. Might have to work out if I want a good one to last a long time (which is risky) or to get a cheaper one and expect to replace earlier.

By thank you that is helpful.

I want to get into Linux and I need a new laptop. I’m happy to go secondhand but I actually want a half decent thing that can play some games, not the cheapest box I can put Linux on and use fake word.

Am I best off just buying a new windows laptop than I can dual boot? Or any other suggestions?

Windows is US$ 139.00. So I figured if I buy a laptop without windows it will be 139 less but I guess manufacturers get windows for like $20 so there are no saving anyway.

Edit:should probably add I’m from to UK I that’s relevant

My view is it’s pure hypeware until proven otherwise.

This isn’t Tesla hate from my side either. The general consensus from enthusiasts since the beginning is Tesla is way off the mark. But the latest self driving upgrades using more LLM tech has apparently been a big step up. By that I mean going from poor assisted self driving to good assisted self driving. Getting it from there to no driver behind the wheel is another matter all together. Maybe they had a single jump or maybe it’s a new path of consistent progress, I have no idea.

I’m not expecting much from Tesla. I would absolutely love to be wrong.

Expecting more from baidu, pony.ai and zoox more than Tesla. Hell even BYD with the Chinese backing it has might beat Tesla.

I’ve been to Los Angeles and Austin. Is San Francisco seen as a bright sunny desert climate?

Was hoping at this point in time Waymo would be expanding more aggressively.

But no one else seems immediately on the horizon and Waymo is consistently expanding well so they are doing very well indeed.

I’m excited for the last mile problem to be solved and be able to cycle on roads without drivers that actually wish I was dead or playing about on their phone. Also I hate driving.

In a way.

But there was a lot of lies that represented legitimate concerns and remain didn’t really do a good enough job of bringing leave along with them. Pleanty of “we got lied too, no on told us”. No no no no. Remain clearly said the truth and you listened to the lies.

Also fish was fucking weird. Seems like people will die over fish.

But people were told immigration would go down. People have been wanting immigration to go down for 60 years and it’s never happened. First direct vote about immigration going down is obviously going to be a big factor. Didn’t happen though so far right will win soon.

Yes. I believe that’s true but I’ve never done it myself.

Yea I know, I said that.

People still call them fuse boxes though.

Yea I know, I’ve wired a plug.

Never seen a fuse in a socket though. That comment is completely wrong and yet it’s the most up voted reply.

Never seen a house without a fuse box either.

Why are people saying this?

I’ve lived in multiple UK houses and never once seen a socket with a fuse. Are you saying this was change way way back in the day?

All houses have fuse boxes (which then got upgraded to circuit breakers). Not one fuses in sockets. Would be a fucking nightmare to take the socket off and change a fuse.
