I’m doing that and generally the next step after that is : “OK, can you do it again and this time DO NOT CLOSE THE ERROR POPUP so we can get information on what is happening”

Plus your probably save on gas too.
Same thing, I’m mostly using the GPS on my phone but unless I try to always carry a paper map with me as a safety.
On the other hand I did took care of a pool for a while, it was in a villa that my in laws owned.
We did a few things that helped lowering the maintenance cost and the pool was pristine.
First thing is a salt chlorinator. It keeps a constant (low) chlorine level so the pool stays clean, there is no more chlorine smell and you only need to top up salt after too much rain.
Then we were using hardware store muriatic acid to bring the pH up and baking soda to control alkalinity. We still went to the pool store to get productd for the calcium hardness and cyanuric acid.
The last thing is a bit more involved but this is what made the biggest difference on the bill is to replace the pump with a DC pump directly connected to refurbished solar panels, no batteries, no inverter. This way when there is a lot of sun the pump is running a lot, a little sun and the pump is running a little.
It’s perfect since the amount of algae development is proportional to the amount of sunlight. There is almost no electronic in the system, just a extremely reliable DC pump and solar panels that can last for decades, I found that to be a great low-tech solution.
However we were in a tropical country, I have no idea if this would apply in another climate.
This was my criteria for buying a house : no pool !
I’m using both a the same time, one tab, two space, another tab…
This way everyone is happy.
Is it really a drop in the bucket b when we take the value per vehicle ?
If we compare Ford to BYD for example.
In 2023 Ford sold around 2 millions cars and BYD around 3 millions.
For Ford only 72 608 cars out of these 2 millions were EV (3.6%) For BYD it’s was almost 1.6 million EV (53.3%)
In 2023 Ford got $9.2 billions from the US government to produce EV, so around $126 000 per EV sold in 2023.
$126 000*1 600 000 = $2 trillions ! So unless BYD received more than $2 trillions dollars from the Chinese government in 2023 it means that each EV sold by Ford is more subsidized than an EV sold by BYD.
This is not an analysis, I took huge shortcuts in this comment and might have done mistakes in the calculations.
The argument of China subsidizing EV is always coming back but I would be curious to know the comparison with the US.
The US are subsidizing EV too I would not be surprised if the amount of subsidy per EV produced is much higher for US manufacturers than China.
No,
There is all the backup of all my family pictures in the drives.
If something happens to me I want to make due that they will have access to it.
I never saw this video but I knew it was going to be technology connection before clicking on the link.
I bought a MG4, I’m extremely happy with this car and I hope the arrival of Chinese EV will lower the price of all EVs.
I liked the fact that it is really easy to self-host.
I tried it with friends on discord and in 10min I had a vps with a server running.
I don’t know if we can call it chemistry but quenching steel.
In high school I was doing blacksmithing and so quenching the blade was part of the process, probably my favorite part.
Heating the blade above 800°C and dipping it in oil, with the oil instantly catching fire was always very dramatic.
I don’t think they are available in the US but the Suzuki Jimny is the perfect off-road vehicle for me.
It’s an extremely fun vehicle to drive!
Someone needs to change something, this is exactly the purpose of opening an IT ticket.
Better than recyclable, glass is reusable.
You can just send the bottle back to the factory, the factory washes it and refill it.
The app is great and the server is very easy to self host.
I find that Onshape is quite good and is all browser based so it runs quite well on linux.
One word: privatization
