  It’s a different way of travelling. With an ICE I would pull into an ugly service station, buy fuel and shit food/drink, go to a disgusting toilet and then get straight back on the road. No smelling of flowers.

  Now it’s the interesting, funky cafe’s/restaurants along the route that are adding fast chargers. I pull in there, have a nice coffee or meal, and then continue on my way.

  It’s a much more pleasant way to do a trip. More chilled. More ‘touching the grass’.

  Agree. And torque. You want torque? OK. It’ll give you torque. It doesn’t care what speed it’s doing, it’s got torque.

  That and regen braking, which is the ducks nuts.

  It’s more to do with improved battery technology. New detectors have lithium batteries that last the same ten years as the detector.

  This is true, but I like to say

  “Things should be a simple as possibe, but no simpler!”.

  Some people also have a tendency to over simplfy things to the point that they are substandard.

  You could also try increasing your temperature and/or lowering your print speed.

  Is that separation happening between the first and second layers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do personal knowledge base applications like Obsidian have all these bells and whistles for querying and parsing metadata/frontmatter but nothing similar for the actual content of notes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some years ago I used an indexing tool called DocFetcher. It was amazing. I would love that kind of search functionality in Obsidian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨at what point in life it's too late to go back to school?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on your circumstances. I plan to start a degree or PhD when I retire just to keep the brain active.

  User name checks out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are now calling an “all-body brain,” with neurons that function as a brain throughout its anatomy.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So they are basically an intellect devourer with spines?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In order for superman to keep his cover as Clark Kent countless innocents he had the power to save have to die every day.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true of public services. Society is always making choices which balance the level of service with the cost. If we wanted to save the maximum number of lives, there would be a hospital next to every home. We accept that some people, who could be saved, will die while they wait for an ambulance.

  There’s so much cool stuff happening in Astronomy at the moment.

  If you can get them at all. Everything seems disposable nowdays.

  Nice. I love how 3d printing helps with sustainability.

  Hoo-fuckin-ray.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way to exclude topics from what I see on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Others have talked about mobile apps, but if you are on a browser, check out Lemmytools. It also adds filter by keyword to Lemmy.
