One other thing I'd note is to avoid using the new gTLDs like .email or .mail for an email address. I tried it and discovered just how many bad form validators and spam filters there are out there.

You would want to place it slightly on the sun side of the L1 point, where gravitational and solar wind forces cancel out.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. Multiple customers corroborated the extremely high quotes for Hyundai battery replacements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEXieo06ta8

And combining all topics under a single umbrella, so you interact with them all as the same persona.

Ahh good point. I saw the 2009, but somehow my brain reconciled that with 10 years ago and didn't see any problem!

The thing that gets me the most is how ancient 10 year-old YouTube looks. Which makes sense that this was the era before smartphones, when IE6 still had significant market share. But 10 years! Sounds like such a short time.

You'd think that in an article specifically about energy storage, in the introductory paragraph, they'd get the units right. > The Pyhäsalmi Mine, roughly 450 kilometres north of Helsinki, is Europe’s deepest zinc and copper mi

Makes sense. So yeah, not something the end user would really have to worry about then.

Definitely lower cost per mile due to the fuel economy. Clearly they make a ton of sense for taxis. Do you have evidence for the higher reliability than pure ICE cars? I hadn't heard that, and it seems counter-intuitive to me. I certai

The thing about hybrids is that while you get the benefits of a gas engine (not needing to charge), you also get most of the combined drawbacks of ICE cars and EVs. You still need to go to the gas station, change the oil, maintain the belts

I don't think that's the point they're trying to make.

And because that fact is quite salient in current geopolitical affairs.

You could do easier difficulty by making the questions multiple choice. (I mean, technically it's already multiple choice, but say 5ish choices.) Potentially could have multiple levels of difficulty by varying the number of choices, or

But critically, having done that, you still won't be going >=1.0C relative to the road.

If that did start happening, it's not like the people from the past would just pop up suddenly. We would be aware of their journey. It's not like a time machine where someone just disappears from the past and appears in the future

Exactly. And that holds regardless of how drunk I might be, fwiw.

The main consequence to him so far has been a lot of people thinking less of him. It was also consequential for the subjects of the tweet, and to a much lesser extent, to all of us who've been exposed to it.

I'm a little bit aghast at all the comments saying this is normal or no big deal. Maybe it is normal (or at least common), but it shouldn't be. If you believe it's no big deal, I can't agree. I can see this kind of behav

Yes, I mean the parents will help kids circumvent the ban.

Because 15 year-olds are the prime audience for a lot of social media. And while much of it is a waste of time at best or actively harmful at worst, a lot of it is also engaging or even educational content that high school students should b

16 seems ridiculously old for such a ban. Especially if sites like YouTube count as social media (and I can't imagine how it wouldn't, given most of the content is identical between the short video platforms).

You think watching porn is equally destructive to engaging in prostitution? I'd hate to see what kind of porn you're watching.

Yes, agreed that there was some luck involved, certainly. I'm just saying that there were enough successes that it's statistically significant that their results were better than more recent ones. And agreeing with the parent that

That does make the most sense. Given the technological gap over more than 50 years, that's the one advantage those missions had, and with 6 successful landings (and none of the failures being in the moon landing phase) it couldn't

That's the thing though; I have only passing familiarity with many of the concepts you listed. In order to evaluate someone on them, I would have to learn enough to differentiate a real expert from a talented bullshitter, and I'm

I think you misinterpreted the comment you replied to. The "loons" being referred to were the democracy-destroying Republicans. He's suggesting trying to get rid of them, so that there is a non-lunatic alternative to the Demo

It does become a problem in a two party system when one party becomes too extreme for people with moderate viewpoints to consider, since the result is a de facto one-party system (at best, or the extreme party in power at worst). And indeed
