Tesla is already half solving this problem indirectly through their batter research, buuut the biggest issue with electric aircraft is the energy density of batteries isn't, and isn't projected, to get anywhere near what it needs

This is not accurate. I don't know of a single installation within a fuselage, because the composite has enough metal in or around it to cause interference. The fuel concern is a significant one, as well as performance. Enough fuel or

I'm curious how StarLink is handling the mod and certification aspects of this. It's not quite as easy as just slamming an antenna on the roof of an airplane.

Almost all modern chargers utilize USB-C female, at least from the major brands (Anker, Ugreen etc.) Almost all cables have either USB-C male to USB-C male, or USB-C male to something else.

This has not been my experience. Not only does filtering work, but in multi user documents it allows you to select user specific or document specific filters, so each user can filter separately. It's not perfect, but most of the time i

I don't understand how using phrases like "these people" doesn't bring culturism into the conversation. You clearly stated that "these people bring that problem to Canada", implying that their culture is the pr

Not sure this is true... I started working at 15 and put in an application and worked. No parental consent and definitely no school involvement. This would have been in 2005-6...

Have you met any first or second generation Canadians? Yes, people bring their culture and their traditions. And by the time you get 1 or 2 generations down, aside from a few different holidays Canada's school system has done a fairly

Nope. This gets really messy for consulting companies, where employees "work" at the client location 3-4 days a week, 2-3 weeks a month. We had to track and report what states we worked in and what days, down to the billing hours,

I'm very curious, in all of these cases, what the replacement will be and even if there will be a replacement. I mentioned that to my wife (we're Canadian), and her response was why do we even need a head of state if we have a Pri

Definitely disagree with don't talk money. It's an outdated stigma that only benefits the employer and leads to people getting significantly underpaid and/or taken advantage of.

Also, some retailers have just the pi out of stock, but have it in stock if you get a bundle with a case, etc. That's how I got an 8GB one a few weeks ago.

Agree with ductless A/C, we are in a 100 year old house with radiator heating and the ductless A/C cools two floors admirably.

All the climate control was in the touchscreen. No knobs, only a button that took you to the climate control screen, but you had to change all the settings on the touchscreen. (Looking at the photos, you could change the temperature but not

Just a note, this is because in the 2016-2017 Honda Civic Hatchback, they went all in and buried all the physical buttons and knobs for sound and climate in the touchscreen, and got major negative customer feedback to the point where they b

Adjusting climate control, since that is now in the touchscreen, although thankfully some manufacturers are back tracking on that one. Adjusting the radio station is the other big one.

So interesting. You could tie this to a sensor in areas that are supposed to be dry. If they get wet, they trigger the battery and a pulse or an alarm. So much potential!!

Sony is also very close to stock. They keep stock for most of the important apps, and only have their own apps for things like the camera.

Another thing that hasn't been mentioned, while it doesn't directly affect the experience, is how well Costco treats their employees. Almost all of their policies are progressive and employee first, and that's something I

This is a very American thing. As much as our Canadian banks gouge us, and lead to a lack of choice and almost monopolistic conditions... Our banking system is so ridiculously stable compared to the US it's not even funny. I look down
