Reminds me of the time a military algorithm was accidentally trained to conclude that tanks are only concealed in tree lines on overcast days.

Maybe he’s not fleeing the states crumbling infrastructure, maybe he’s taking his wife and/or daughter(s) for out of state abortions.
Better Sue him to be on the safe side.

- Comment on Day one and done 1 month ago:
I’m in the UK, the supermarket is less than 10 minutes away by car, but it seems impossible to spend less than an hour in there shopping for a family of 4. There’s a smaller shop in walking distance, but everything costs more there and it’s not economical for a weeks worth (not to mention the more limited range).
My solution is to pay the big store to pick it for me, then I just collect it. Cheaper than delivery, they’re the ones sat waiting for me and if there’s a sub I don’t like or something I forgot, it’s just a quick visit, not an odyssey.
Still use the local but just for top ups if needed - Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 month ago:

And the underlying animal is still there too. It’s fully in control at birth, and gets drowned out as we mature (for some people, less than others).
Small children are little more than animals, which is why they’re so unreasonable.
It’s my belief that the reason the written word or things like clocks are usually unreadable in dreams, is because the animal is both illiterate and innumerate. Dreams are the animals understanding of our waking experience. It knows these patterns are important and how they relate to other things, but it has no fucking idea what any of it actually means. - Comment on Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem. As electricity prices go negative, the Golden State is struggling to offload a glut of solar power 2 months ago:
Yes, and some people on Octopus Agile have been seeing negative electricity prices as consumers recently, although that was due to high winds hitting the offshore farms rather than solar.
The App for my Bosch washing machine does have links to a couple of proprietary ‘smart home’ solutions that can synchronise start times with solar output, but none of them are compatible with my other kit so I never looked further. It does also support IFTTT so I guess I could set something up myself if I had the skill.
Start times are better than nothing, but what would really be useful is the ability to modulate the heater output to say 1 or 0.5kW over a longer period if there’s thin clouds reducing the output from the inverter. Also cross talk between appliances that allows you to turn them all on at once, and they can introduce pauses in their programmes, so they don’t overlap high power tasks. - Comment on Does light itself truly have an infinite lifetime? 2 months ago:
That was an enjoyable read. At the end I couldn’t help thinking about Penrose’ cyclic conformal cosmology, in that a universe with only massless photons, distance becomes meaningless.

I’m more likely to take a break with work. Unfortunately that break often entails sitting in the same chair, watching YouTube on the same screen.

True, I was near Lands End, and seeing the shadow emerge over the horizon and rush towards us across the sea was pretty intense.
- Comment on Handy guide for today's eclipse. 2 months ago:
I’m also in the Midlands, so I won’t see it either.
I was in Cornwall for the '99 eclipse and I didn’t see that one as well so at least I’m keeping up with tradition. - Comment on Microsoft's Pricey AI Assistant Copilot Leaves Early Adopters Feeling Cheated 4 months ago:

- Comment on Tesla Cybertruck May Have A Rust Problem 4 months ago:
Weathering steel, we used it for bridges all the time a few years ago, although it seems to have fallen out of favour recently. Asset owners liked it because you don’t have to repaint it every few years (good for both reducing disruption and avoids having people work at height).
The patina can look quite nice (in my subjective opinion) but it’s not particularly resistant to impact, and requires a thicker section size than painted steel.
Automotive application could certainly be… Interesting. - Comment on Name one of his songs. 4 months ago:

I guess that’s also why people started having turkey for big family gatherings even through chicken tastes better.
Now a chicken is perfectly adequate for a family of four, or even six depending on the trimmings.
- Comment on HP raising Instant Ink subscription pricing significantly 6 months ago:
I’m in the same boat. I lost the free plan because we had to print a lot more during homeschooling that made sense to go up a couple of tiers for a month. Been on the £0.99 tier since. Didn’t mind it because we do still use it occasionally and one time the nozzels on cart dried up and it got replaced at HP’s expense.
So I don’t hate instant ink, but only at it’s current price. If it gets jacked up I’ll probably just buy ordinary carts and take my chances on it clogging again. I can still nip into the office if I need a one off print, this one is just convenient.

Not that airliners don’t have a lot of things to press (and two people to press them), but the majority of the controls in that image are the navigation, radio, and autopilot controls.

Some will some won’t. The contrarians will never budge, the “I’m not anti-science, I just don’t trust evidence I didn’t gather myself” ones should. I suspect most flat-earthers are the former.
