    Charcoal - Stravinsk, is about to die...

    It seems like an obvious precaution to invest the $20 or so in a carbon monoxide detector and change what you're doing if it starts beeping at you.

    An object or decoration in your home

    If anything in my home annoyed me that much it probably wouldn't be in my home for much longer.

    Charcoal - Stravinsk, is about to die...

    Hard to know if you're just doing something right or if you're lucky. For what it's worth my old house (now rented) has natural gas powered central heating and has had for at least the last 50 years. Even when the property has a professionally installed high efficiency boiler and is powered by...

    What’s a good recession-proof job?

    A lot of government non-jobs are pretty secure. You should never be too quick to get rid of your Gay Druid Pensioner Outreach Coordinators. In the real world, grocery stores always need people and I'd hazard a guess jobs like funeral directors and church ministers are pretty safe. Work with...

    People who have been in an earthquake,

    I felt a slight tremor once. I wasn't sure what it was so checked out the entire house, thinking maybe something had fallen in where it shouldn't, or someone had tried to smash their way in. I didn't find anything amiss so carried on with what I was doing. It turned out the epicenter of a very...

    What are the cons in buying a Telsa?

    Easy to see why. If a level 2 charger runs at 240V and 40A or so, 30 of them would require 1200A at 240V. Level 3 chargers up the ante considerably - if you're running ˜400kW you're looking at 480V and 90-100A. 30 of those would be running 12MW, or around 3000A at 480V. It's a different league...

    What are the cons in buying a Telsa?

    1. Presumably not 2. Definitely not. Hence comments from me and others about the planning required if you want to drive further than the battery range.

    Carry on you everyday

    Depends on the day really. If it's a day I don't stray far from home then not much aside from maybe my house keys and phone. My phone case also contains things like my driving license, credit cards and a small amount of cash in case I need to buy something and they don't take my cards. If I'm...

    What are the cons in buying a Telsa?

    It may be considered a standard towing load but still nearly doubles the weight of what is driving. Even at its most basic, F=ma. If you double the mass you double the force needed for the same acceleration. If you use a gas powered vehicle to tow something that weighs 75% of the original...

    Shaving

    I maintained a goatee from my 20s. After the post-2008 crash gathered steam I let the sides grow in because I was between contracts and decided to see how it might look, without the pressure to be at least broadly presentable at work. I've experimented with different shapes to my beard now but...

    What are the cons in buying a Telsa?

    From the article it looks like the truck weighs approx 8000lb and the trailer was about 6000lb. The range dropped from a quoted 314 miles to somewhere more like 100 miles. As the article says it's not unreasonable to expect a truck to be able to do truck things but it's also not unreasonable to...

    Is the US headed for a Recession?

    Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! I'm going to define "approval rating" as being all the people who think the president is doing a good job, plus all the people who would think he was doing a good job if only they weren't so stupid as to think he's doing anything less, plus a fudge factor seasonal adjustment...

    Is the US headed for a Recession?

    But, but, but, we can't be in a recession. Dopey Joe said so himself. Surely he wouldn't be confused?

    Is the US headed for a Recession?

    Yep, "Build Back Better" brought to you by the people who never built anything. Perhaps we could use a new political slogan, "leave well alone". In the real world we live by "if it ain't broke don't fix it". In the political world they figure that if it ain't broke you fix it until it is. Then...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    The branches at the end were very light. A couple of times they got snagged in the vegetation and I thought they were going to break apart. You'd have a hard time hurting yourself with the stick I was using - truth be told I could probably have hit someone with it and not done them any damage to...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    The trails I hike vary from very light to moderate traffic. At the weekend they are busier, but I avoid the weekends if I can. Yesterday I found a length of branch that was light enough to hold in front of me, and had enough smaller branches on it that it covered about knee height to above...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    I went hiking. It wasn't as warm as it has been recently but the first hour was horribly muggy. By the time I reached the top of the mountain I was practically soaked with sweat. At the overlook part way down the other side the breeze was very pleasant, and the descent was also nice. Now I just...

    What are the cons in buying a Telsa?

    What was the range without the trailer, and how big was the trailer? ICE vehicle manufacturers at least have some kinda-sorta standards to quote even if they don't mean a whole lot. I think my car is rated 19/26mpg for city/highway with an average of 21. My average over the last few years has...

    Are the boosted getting covid more than others?

    Without knowing what proportion of the population is vaccinated and boosted and to what level it's hard to draw useful conclusions. It would also be useful to know what "not fully vaccinated" means - does it mean one shot rather than two, or does it mean no shots at all? Likewise comorbidities...

    What are the cons in buying a Telsa?

    In a situation like this it doesn't seem surprising that the battery range would diminish, so it's perhaps not really an oversight that they weren't explicitly told about it. If you tow something heavy you get lower fuel economy in a regular gas-powered vehicle. If you drive like a F1 driver...
