Not retain it, you probably have a copy with you which you would read if you did end up diverting somewhere. NOTAMs also affect which airports go in your "would divert to" list when you're planning the flight. E.g. if the NOT

The NOTAMs for a commercial flight from JFK to LAX, for example, would be several pages long. Warnings about construction work at either airport, closed taxiways, cranes in the vicinity of the airport, enroute navigational aids which are un

I've switched to Carrot and paid to enable "layouts"; they have a very Dark Sky-esque one.

You don't need a garage, just a driveway. Plenty of people with chargers mounted on an outside wall.

Presumably most of the charging done at home? It seems to be when you're reliant on premium (fast) public chargers that the costs add up. At home you can take advantage of things like the Octopus EV tariff and pay 10p/kWh overnigh

Commercial airliners, and even some GA planes, have an accurate measure of fuel consumed using a fuel flow transducer.

To cross the Atlantic with a twin-engined plane has that requirement (ETOPS).

The beauty of machines like the Gaggia (I have a Classic) is their simplicity. I can get spare parts to replace everything in the machine, and work on it myself (I'm not mechanically-minded, but it's very straight forward). The bi

I guess an edge-case benefit is that when these cars come on to the used market (after the 2-3 year lease ends), the next owner can spec the car as they wish by enabling certain features.

Don't think of it as creating 3kW of heat, think of it as using the electricity to transfer that much heat.

The mask slips a few times, such as their disdain for transgender bathrooms. It's "I hate libs" posing as economic theory.

Couldn't he just route the cable via a pulley (or series of pulleys) to navigate the curves? Admittedly would fall foul of requirement #2.

I've arrived at other airports at busy times (e.g. the return to Heathrow) and it's not comparable. Perhaps there are more non-English speakers arriving at JFK?

I used to have this problem at major stations like London Bridge. Full 4G signal bars, but no actual throughput. Seems to have gotten better lately, not sure if that's the effect of 5G or reduced passengers due to WFH.

Hah, ironically my experience of it is based on a 2018 Karoq (perhaps with the most basic system, as you said).

Lotus make a 2-seat roadster EV https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/evija . So they're trying to cover different segments.

It's not just where it's grown, it's also the variety of wheat (e.g. https://ragt-seeds.co.uk/en-gb/nos-varietes?field_specie_cod... ), the seed-dressing used, and a bunch of other variables.

I had Hive before and prefer that; being able to boost the heating to a certain temperature for 30/60/120 mins is a common use case for me that Nest doesn't do.

They're a "wristwatch component manufacturer"; so presumably they need much smaller quantities than a car manufacturer.

Interesting, thanks! Does that also mean power fed-in by domestic panels will only be used locally?

by cjrp 4y ago
Don't most domestic panels actually feed into the grid (so presumably would show up on the stats as solar generation)? Unless you've got a battery system at home.
