Probably only hit that bird with the wing. Tower asked "are you going to continue" and they replied. That sounds like low speed (high speed you wouldn't reply that quickly, focus on takeoff first). And at low speed if it went

Same for me. I can't stand watching sports with fast motion or large panning scenes on a low refresh rate screen. But agree with the post above that 24p double exposed is even better. Smooth and no artefacts. Luckily that's an opt

You can, but an invalid code is treated as if there was no postage stamp on it at all. So your letter will be returned or the receiver is asked to pay. A code that's past the validity date is probably considered an invalid code as well

Wouldn't that be returned to the place it was stolen from?

I have these all around the house, but not in the bedrooms. I use weight sensors to detect that someone is in bed and traditional PIR for motion in bedrooms. Probably overly careful, but I didn't want to point a radar at my sleeping ki

Wifi sensing is interesting, but you can combine a $3 ESP chip with one of these for a much easier project at lower cost: https://www.dfrobot.com/product-2795.html I use those for presence detection in my house. 3D print a

Are accounts free in the US? My impression was that you pay all kinds of fees for everything with most banks. That 3 euros includes free ATM usage in nearly all of Europe and no fees on transactions within Europe. It's a lot less than

My previous coach was somewhere in the top 200 at some point. He wasn't very good at teaching tennis... My current one is a long term career tennis teacher with a much lower ranking, but he's very good at teaching. Being good your

Absolutely. It's surprising that not everyone does this. I have two bank accounts, each with a card and Apple pay. My "backup bank" costs about 3 euros / month for a simple payments account, savings and a creditcard. My

Absolutely, but in this case it was a go around from a non precision approach due to weather, according to Avherald.

I think that type of phone was everywhere because the national telecom provider (PTT at the time) handed them out with a subscription plan? I remember seeing "property of PTT" stickers on them.

Aircraft autopilot flight is much more like cruise control in a car. The pilot flying is actively monitoring instruments and adjusting settings to make the autopilot do what's needed. Not playing games on their phone. Especially in the

Sure, but you can't trust Tesla on that and they're the only ones that have the data. If Tesla claims next week "it wasn't self driving at the time of the crash" that doesn't tell you anything. Because they wil

I like the Mercedes idea, but haven't seen it in practice yet. It would be useful to have a universal outside light that informs drivers behind you that the reason you're keeping a safe distance ahead is that the car is on adapti

This is not an uncommon mistake for pilots in training to make. It sounds strange, but you have to keep in mind that this maneuver is done with no outside visibility (that's the reason for the go around). So the pilot is only looking a

Different bike brands, but the same motor is very common in NL as well. Never heard a lot of failures and e-bikes are absolutely everywhere. One factor may be that in most of the UK biking is done on the road mixed with cars which may have

The ESP32 is very overpowered for random home projects. But the cost is low, and they can be used with the Arduino ecosystem which is very beginner friendly. Often the ESP32 is far cheaper than whatever sensor you're making it monitor.

Does a high dpi screen, WiFi 6 and hibernate all work out of the box these days and keep working for a few years? Because I still see coworkers with issues in those areas even in 2024, while a simple macbook air does all of those no questio

Windows 10 made me buy a mac... After many years of alternating between Windows and Linux, the lazy "drivers just work" alternative without all the Microsoft bloat is a Mac. Linux is great, love it on the server, but it's nev

Doesn't sound high indeed, but you have to take into account what you get for your tax money. A low rate sounds good, but if you then have to spend a fortune on healthcare and education, while those are (nearly) free in most places wit

How is the price for fast chargers in the UK? In the Netherlands it's crazy, something like 3-4x the price of home charging and close to 10x what you would "loose" on using your own solar power instead of selling it to the gr

> and paying a lot more for it Do you have a low electricity rate? A petrol car would use around 0.03 gallons per mile (33 mpg). At $ 4 per gallon that's $ 0.12 per mile. A Tesla model S does around 0.3 kWh per mile. So to get to th

No. Passengers often experience things as "a big drop" while no such thing happened. In this case several news sites even claim it dropped 6000ft. But if you read the Avherald report (often a very good source) or look at the ADS-B

Higher air pressure (lower cabin altitude) and higher humidity. Both make passengers feel better.

That headline sounds big, but "entire fleet" in this case is only 12 planes. And those 12 are about half of Swiss' wide-body fleet. That makes it a tiny airline in comparison to others. For example Lufthansa group (which Swis

But the location of the camera doesn't matter. You only need to figure out very roughly at which latitude you are to know by how much to compensate for earth rotation. And you can do that with the sensors that you're already using

Yes, 13k may be a perfectly fine price for the issue. But that means a Tesla does not have as low a cost of ownership as people originally thought. It doesn't need oil changes, but now you have to deal with a low resale value and high

by t0mas88 2y ago
Exactly. And those people are usually complaining about a repair bill somewhere around $2000. Sure, expensive, but relative to the new value of a top model 7-series it's not crazy. It's no comparison to paying 13k for battery repa
