I would guess it’s the latter; the trains draw power from the grid to accelerate, and dump power back into the grid when they decelerate.

I like using the built in radio rather than my phone for music, but it doesn’t need an internet connection, just a flash drive.

I suppose I’m a weirdo for not using Spotify like most people nowadays though

The ones on the dealership lot

How come it doesn’t just know whether you tend to speed or not? Doesn’t Google know everything about everyone?

The plastic isn’t really a huge driver of climate change, the problems it causes are different.

For the climate change comparison, notice that the old boat has oars, but the new boat has a gas engine

So I saw your comment, went to read the synopsis, and was nodding along like “Yeah, this good, what seemed weird?”…and then hit the line “Looking for the bathroom, Cash discovers a shackled half-horse, half-human hybrid who begs him for help.”

Of course now I have to watch it

If you reboot your phone, the first unlock can’t use biometrics

Literally the only ways to get rich that don’t require doing fucked up shit are to inherit the money, probably from someone who did a bunch of fucked up shit, or to be incredibly lucky and win the lottery.

There’s dozen(s) of us?

“We agreed Amelia; nighty percent.”

Lol you think we learn.

Soaking wet oven mitts has happened at least a dozen times. Oops

Frankly that controller was probably the most reliable part of the sub

Different reactor. Unit 2 partially melted down, there’s no turning it back on. Unit 1 continued running after Unit 2’s failure, and was only shut down because it became economically unviable

Cracking the natural gas is more efficient

Yeah I’ll have that everything bagel

So do have like a mastodon where you post these? Because that’s hilarious

Man we really really need restrictions on size and weight of cars. It’s getting ridiculous out there.

There will always be actual situations where giant trucks are necessary, but they’re like 0.1% of the actual giant trucks on the road.

I say require a commercial license over a certain vehicle height and/or weight (maybe with a carved out exception that it’s the vehicle weight not including the lithium battery, for EVs’ sake). Commercial licenses are harder to get, and much easier to lose.

Well you’re not going to get a fibre network, public or private, in the far north. Not happening.

Massive towers and directional dishes is probably a better approach than LEO satellites though
