If you fill and empty with raw seawater on the regular then you will have plenty of opportunity for growth on the inside and a constant supply of new water with fresh nutrients meaning everything is going to want to grow into the water inlet and clog it.
Maybe they will sink a giant bladder of sterile water together with the hollow sphere, and then figure out a way to make the bladder not fail for 20 years?
My six-year-old and my eight-year-old started fighting and chasing each other around on a skinny trail at the top of the Grand Canyon with very long drop-offs and no fences to either side.
They didn’t die, then, but each time I remember it again they are at risk of being murdered
only going after overt political dissidents and brown immigrants
They seem to have detained some white tourists lately as well.
I can press the entirely local switch and have light.
Are you sure about that? Is it a local connected smart switch (still fancy electronics, just local) or a plain old power switch?
If it’s a power switch, and If you turned your lights off by app over the internet, and then the internet went out, then your lights’ ability to come back on when you flick the physical switch depends on somebody having thought about this need and programmed a “oh, the switch was flicked so I better ignore the internet settings” mode.
And if they did that, it also probably means your lights all turn on after a power outage since the light can’t tell the difference between power outage and light switch flipped off.
This was a really interesting article, thanks for posting it
If it cost more than half, get rid of it at the first opportunity.
I don’t think this part is really right. Buy a newer car because you want a newer car (and can afford it) or because your old car can’t do the job you need anymore. Newer car is almost never going to save you money.
If you have an old paid-off car that is worth basically nothing on paper but in good shape and runs well for you, and it needs a repair, it’s almost always going to be cheaper to do the repair.
If you get a more expensive car from a dealer (new or used) the car payments and interest are so much higher than even ongoing frequent repair costs it’s just crazy.
Even in OPs story replacing the engine — I don’t know what else was wrong with it — but if they put $6K into a new engine and next year $1K into brakes and next year $1K into tires that’s still way less money than just three years of interest payments on a nice new CRV. That’s not even counting the down payment and the principal!!
You might have lots of reasons besides money to replace a car, but that’s a question whether the cost is worth it, not a question of whether it’s cheaper
The place in my mind when the old car is no longer economical to repair is when:
The repair can’t really fix it eg the body is rusting away etc. Car is done unless you rebuild the whole thing, too bad time to say goodbye
frequent breakdowns, even small cheap easily fixed breakdowns, mean you can’t get to work and lose money or risk your job (consider if the breakdowns are related cause though — maybe you need to replace all old rotted rubber hoses and exposed gaskets in the car all at once and it will be reliable again? Making an unreliable car become reliable again requires you or somebody you trust knows something about cars to decide; most people can’t do this)
the repair (including rental car or lost work due to downtime, which can be more than the actual mechanic cost but totally counts just the same as a cost to you) is more than the cost of whatever vehicle you’re going to replace it with — this… mostly doesn’t happen. putting $6K repair plus $800 for two weeks’ car rental into replacing the engine on a otherwise-$10K old Versa is still cheaper even than buying somebody else’s $10K old Versa in running condition (by $2200 + tax + registration) — let alone a newer car.
I really enjoyed the first season.
The books were great but they seriously suffered from lack of editing. Example: nobody needed to see that much of Mat whining and being an ass on the barge ride up the river and I’m glad the show left it out. I’m cautiously optimistic that the show will pull off judicious improvements to the storytelling.
You can try, but you can’t make it correct. My ideal is to write code once that is bug-free. That’s very difficult, but not fundamentally impossible. Especially in small well-scrutinized areas that are critical for security it is possible with enough care and effort to write code with no security bugs. With LLM AI tools that’s not even theoretically possible, let alone practical. You will just need to be forever updating your prompt to mitigate the free latest most fashionable prompt injections.
The problem with LLM AIs Ous that you can’t sanitize the inputs safely. There is no difference between the program (initial prompt from the developer) and the data (your form input)
Not so easy to Ignore what you know.
Knowledge is power, but ignorance is bliss.
I follow the news until I can’t take it any more, and take a break until I can again.
At the time, no. It wasn’t in my plans at all. Now I think about it sometimes.
It was a study-abroad year and the year ended. I never had the permission to stay and work.
American here who studied German for eight years, graduated with a minor in German, and lived there for one year:
I’m not sure how to properly translate this children’s book.
The long word breaks into easily-understood pieces:
“help-ability-extinguish-group-travel-thing”
But in order to get a proper concept back out of it you need to know what order the pieces go together in and I don’t know that.
travel-thing is a vehicle.
help-ability is emergency services
Beyond that I have to guess — Is group-travel-thing a crew vehicle, making this a crew vehicle for extinguishing?
Or maybe extinguish-group is a fire crew and this is a vehicle for fire crews?
Either way I feel like the author is using a lot more word-parts than they should have to for what is (clearly in the picture) better described as a pump truck.
If you start one I will subscribe
I had one like that. It gave up its magic smoke a short time after I discovered you could enter custom horizontal timings in Linux for higher-than-standard resolutions
I would like to hear more about this
Dude, they borrow your hoodies because they want to smell you. If you like the girl then let her wear you around. Giving them a decoy is a self-own.
Yes. Say it out loud.
I am almost 50 years old and understood for the first time this month that the reason my wife doesn’t like going out alone to explore new places is fear of men and not fear of getting lost etc.
For mumble-mumble years it has never occurred to me to wonder about this
Mine just stays on the counter. At the spot it’s in, if I had an accident and it tried to go flying, the wall of the retracted slide room would block it. But in 3 years of driving with it, it hasn’t flown off.
Do your guys benefit from all that team building? Or do they just get the same minimum wage no matter what while all the benefits of team efficiency go to the owner?
