they’re usually much lighter, obviously

Sure. But if the combined weight of rider and bike is around 100kg and that rises to 115kg for an electric, then that’s not a huge difference.

France passed a law like that and it should be phasing in now. I wonder how that’s going.

The Constitution thinks it’s OK for Iran to have nuclear weapons!

We have a bunch scattered around my neighbourhood here in Italy.

That, and if WhatsApp has the keys, then no amount of encryption is going to help.

If I remember, the allegation was that they did keep all the keys and many employees could request them to decrypt specific sessions.

Tidal is really feeding off the momentum of the planet, but yeah, that’s not nuclear.

Potential energy… that’s more a storage medium.

Perhaps we need to add the original energy of the big bang to nuclear. That threw things apart so they could have potential energy, and it gave a lot of matter a lot of momentum which gets topped up occasionally by a nuclear exploding star.

That’s all just nuclear fission with even more steps.

Are there perhaps only two primary power sources: fission (in stars for now) and fusion (on Earth)?

It’s an easy question to answer but a more difficult question to remember to ask. But I guess that’s what those 2 to 3 levels are for 😏

People somehow think that they should give more permissions to Claude than to Camden. (Is that a name? To me that’s a borough and an eponymous beer.)

E: oh yeah, and the market.

You have to be careful with life expectancy. The LE of someone who is already 80 is much higher than that of a newborn. There are actuary tables if you want to look for them.

All of this is true, and yet basic English is easy. Then it just keeps throwing shit at you for the rest of your life, but then it’s too late.

I’m 50 years old; I’ve already lived through the ’90s. It’s not easy, but I know how to handle it. But if sanctions were to hit young people today, who are 25 and have their entire lives online, I think the sanctions I’m experiencing would be a true civil death for them.”

Honestly, I kind of miss the 90s and doing more IRL. But not everything. And not everything can be anymore.
