Food maybe, but morale on the Ford was reportedly quite low and there has been some conjecture that the fire that has knocked it out of service was not accidental.

yes, but it was still a bubble as 99 of those companies went bust. AI is an obvious bubble, and it will soon burst. The question is what survives. If you can predict that, you can …

Obviously I would have forgotten most of this given the change was 20 years ago but IIRC DST config on Solaris at the time was statically coded. You could modify the timezone confi…

I live in Western Australia. for 3 years we trialed DST from 2006 to 2009. It was a nightmare personally, I was a sysadmin at the time and enterprise management tools were expensiv…

This is where I land as well, except I'd go higher. Ukraine has caused the pricing of any FPGA equipped SDR to skyrocket. Plus incredibly high sample rates that the sSDR supports w…

3x higher than other rocket builders. Comparing a rocket factory to a construction site it borderline laughable.

Iran currently has tasking control of a single Chinese military spy satellite with sub meter resolution. They struck this arrangement before the war. This capability has provided t…

THAAD is the radar systems + missiles. The radar stayed, it was the interceptors that were pulled from Korea. I assume you can accept that to intercept a missile you need tracking …

You've got to disassemble the boiler and remove the scale from there. I run a Gaggia Classic at home with really hard water and my machine literally stopped flowing due to scale bu…

BO has entered the chat New Glenn and are arguably equal to Super Heavy given they've also recovered and reused their heavy booster. I think you're going to be surprised at the lev…

I think the initial catalyst for this was when the US/Biden arbitrarily removed Russia from SWIFT post Ukraine invasion. Whether people agreed or disagreed with that decision isn't…

Cool. Thanks for demonstrating you have no idea of my usage. I charge every second day as I don't drive far or often. Sometimes I go 3 or more days as I'm actually trying to burn p…

Yep, providing front line comms to Russia in the Ukraine war as well as being gifted a virtual oligopoly by the US government is quite the win for their profits.

For the vast majority of entire life Iran has been weeks away from having a nuke. I'm nearly 50. And yet you believe that they're now "two weeks away" because that's what politicia…

Not really applicable here imho. Most high power high performance rockets aren't cardboard. The majority are either fibreglass or carbon fibre. Flex doesn't really become a concern…

Contrast this with the United States, which does a huge amount of trade with the world and then funnels all of that profit to the poor... /s

I'm not sure where you're getting this idea from, but my PHEV (BYD Shark 6) doesn't drop below 22% battery as the engine is there to charge the battery, not propel the vehicle. I a…

We destroyed the nuclear capability of Iran last year during the 12 day war. Trump said so himself. Now we're engaged in a full regional conflict to destroy Iran's nuclear capabili…

> we found the maximum altitude estimates were about 15% too high. this often happens when the wrong rocket finish is selected. Everyone chooses a polished finish when in actuality…

Thank you! I'm in WA, so in some respects if I'm not driving a landie or hilux my bogan creds are still somewhat lacking, but at least I'm looking down on Ranger drivers now lol.

You're definitely not alone! I just took delivery of a new BYD Shark 6 on Monday. It's amazing and I paid $41k USD ($57,900 AUD) for it. Before that was available I was planning on…

No it's not, it's a car company. It may be moving to robots, but for companies to survive they require products and profits, neither of which seem to be real when it comes to Optim…

Especially a platform like this which has most likely seen little security assurance given its classification.

It's the best of both worlds as you can drive it EV only for short distances but still have the ability to drive longer distances. As said above, the engine is only to charge the b…
