USA has nothing on Norway in % of vehicles sold being EVs. Norway's population is a fraction of USA's, so of course USA will have the raw numbers. However, Norway's new car BEV % is 80%. The remainder is split between hybrids

The end product looked just like what putting on my TrackIR headset and booting up DCS World is like. :) Nice write up nonetheless.

It has the highest EV penetration in the world. Nearly every single new car sold is an EV. It's therefore a great indicator about how various EVs will fare on a greater scale, perhaps.

If Americans are anything like Australians, this should surprise absolutely no-one. People are driven to distraction here, often glued to their smartphones with zero situational awareness. When this applies to both drivers and pedestrians,

Yeah there's a wide range of currently contentious topics - pick either one of them. It really is about whether people can tolerate hearing things - or even knowing they speak about them - that they don't agree with, without turni

Tangentially, what's truly the difference between banning speech and cancellation culture, I wonder? If you can lose your job and thus your ability to provide food and shelter for yourself and your family for daring to speak up against

I guess I realised before opening the site, but special mention for the backed by blockchain part. I kind of lost it on that. Perhaps the next version will have ChatGPT enhancements?

For a device that markets itself as repairable, 3 years of updates is a bad joke. So it should at minimum have an open bootloader. My Samsung S10 5G is turning 4 in a few months, still receiving regular security updates.

Awesome post! :) I recently got the Smart Grinder Pro along with the Breville Dual Boiler, and I'm kind of blown away by the quality of espresso I can get from relatively cheap supermarket beans. I've really enjoyed this upgrade f

Those are outliers. For the rest of us there's discipline and sheer willpower, as well as smart energy management. Train too hard? My appetite goes nuts. Train not enough? The weight loss is muscle. It kind of never stops. (Speaking as

“We think that everyone might benefit if the most radical protagonists of evidence-based medicine organized and participated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of the parachute.” I'm still crying. :)

The fun thing is how you stop being verified if you cancel your sub after a month, when you've already proved you're a real person by having money change hands, even if you do not change any of your profile information. Money grab

This is awesome. I regularly play sims (DCS World, iRacing) on triple screens and would love for more support out there in the titles. To be specific, by support I mean that you need multi viewport rendering - which is not to be confused wi

It should be! U2412Ms by any chance? I've got three of those, they're awesome. Edit: The second I posted my reply I saw your other one, U2412Ms indeed. A decade on and they're still as good as new. :)

Tangential, but you may also want to fill the skies with noise when flying a stealth mission. The rationale being that you may be able to hear a cat's claws on floorboards in the middle of the dead night, but you'd never hear it i

I believe so, but also because they decided to still fly missions on a day where the Prowler EW platform was inoperable. Due to the extreme predictability of the route, along with no countermeasures, and intelligence on the matter, they wer

Absolutely. The value of F-22s actually launching some $400k AIM-9Xs not at training targets with a 100% success rate would be far, far greater than those unit costs. It's a crying shame the F-22 production line was shut down, so it&#x
