I think firstly the kids need to get education about this subject in school. The dangers online, the tools to use to protect oneself etc. Secondly the parents need some similar education, either face-to-face education or information materia

I wasn't mainly thinking about the actual soldering process, although that can also be an issue with small components or when not focusing on where the iron touches while reading a schwematic. But more like when the solder iron is stuf

The thing is that wether the ruling party is right or left there are limits to what they can do based on the real world we live in. For example there is a limit to how much they can lower or increase the tax. There is a limit to how much th

Web dev is quite a big subject. I suppose you have to focus on a certain framework or technology. Probably narrow down on: - Laravel - Rails - Django - React - VueJS - Javascript - Typescript - PHP - Ruby - Tailwind - CSS - MySQL - PostgreS

Yes, wire-wrapping is/was so great. Really good quality connections, no accidental connections due to solder ending up at the wrong places, easy to remove or change. And no solder-iron that risks burning stuff. And no smoke either. The

The robot could leave the ironer standing on your clothes and walk away; it could leave your empty pan on the stove at max heating; it could take a nice hard grip of your throat for a few minutes.

Maybe it is the best selling car (not sure), but that does not mean it is the best car.

They say Tesla cars are not better than any other EV nowadays. They say the Tesla stock is overvalued. They say the Tesla robot will likely not be a super hit in terms of sales. I don't see it as hate. It's quite pragmatic views.

If you look into the details, in the US, aviation fuel is taxed very low and for international flights not taxed at all. "Kerosene-based jet fuel used for commercial aviation (transporting persons or property for hire) is taxed at a re

You can do whatever calculations and speculations you want, but the fact is that airlines do not pay any tax on fuel and no VAT on fuel. Not sure why they should not. Another thing with flying is that it is so easy to go long distances as i

On the other hand, it's a great way to attract visitors. If they have chargers, people will stop and charge and also have something to eat. Especially for towns not too far away from highways, but any town really.

On the other hand, one can also question if the £16 cost for the flight makes any sense. A more correct price would be £500. It's about time that the airlines pay the same taxes for fuel as everyone else.

In the US, money talks. I believe EV cars will be much cheaper to produce than ICE cars in 10 years from now. They will also have lower maintenance costs, better performance and lower energy costs. So there will be no reason to buy an ICE c

I mentionedf a lifetime of 10-20 years for a car. So 20 lifetime and 10 years from now is when the last ICE car is sold that makes 30 years from now there will be basically no ICE cars circulating.

> But 50 years from now most of that ICE infrastructure will have disappeared. I'm guessing it will be already in 20-30 years from now. In 5-10 years from now, no-one will buy an ICE vehicle. Add to those 10 years a lifetime of 10-2

It's the same in the UK (when it comes to giving directions). Maybe for completely different reasons. I guess they just want to be nice and helpful. And always with a cheerful: "...you can't miss it." Yeah, sure.

Or you can by a car instead. An MG4 costs less than 20000 euros with a 51kWh LFP battery. In addition to a good battery, it's a great car as well.

LibreOffice is working great and is compatible. I have never had any issues with formulas. I suppose if there are some very complex macros or formulas then it will break, but then you are probably using the wrong tool anyway.
