  • Wireless EV charging hits 90% efficiency in Swiss real-world trials

    Jump

  • There are reasonable limits. Let's say his car takes 30 minutes. Is 31 minutes total connection time acceptable? I think everyone would say yes. How about 35 minutes? 45? An hour?

    Where people draw the line is going to vary. I agree with the premise that you shouldn't have to wait by your car to charge, whether it's 30 minutes or 2 hours. That is wasted time, and drastically reduces the attraction of having an EV. For myself, having to wait an extra 15 minutes isn't too bad, and extra half hour or more is probably too much. I think context also really matters. If I'm parking at a station in a garage where most of the users are there for work, I expect to be there for at least 2 hours, possibly 4 (and would pick a charger I could use most of the time). At a mall, where people are in and out, if I was going to be there much more than 30 minutes I would probably plan to be back at my car to move it when it was charged. Especially since most of the chargers I've seen bill based on connection time and not electricity used.

  • Time for a joke.

    And economist and an accountant were taking a walk when they noticed a frog. The accountant says to the economist, "I'll give you $100 if you eat that frog." The economist thinks for a moment, then agrees. A little later they come across another frog, and the economist says, "I'll give you $100 to eat that frog." The accountant thinks about it for a second and also agrees. As they continue walking, the accountant says, "So I got to see you eat a frog for $100, and by eating a frog myself, I got my money back, so I understand why I did it. But you had already eaten a frog and had $100, so why did you do it?" The economist replies, "Ah, but this way it's twice as good for the economy!"

  • And many of those activities include consumption. If you're doing more than casual hiking, you probably aren't using second-hand shoes from the thrift store.

  • How do you download your GOG games?

    Jump

  • While all of thos could be true, downloading on your PC should be possible to queue multiple games, and doesn't require you to leave your steam deck turned on. Go for that nostalgic overnight download vibe.

  • There's this fun thing with multi-lingual environments where non-standard language may not be intentional, and some people will even go so far as to expand a complete stranger's vocabulary in a different language. Now, if this was intentional, have at it.

  • There is a hydrogen fusion reaction that releases beta particles, i.e., electrons. This could be used to produce electricity directly without boiling water, but I think the heat output would be such that you could also boil water for more electricity.

  • pushed the package

    This sounds like a translation error. The common colloquialism is "pushed the envelope."

  • [Reminder] Did you buy packaged bread from Loblaws between 2001 and 2021? Don't forget to claim compensation after the long awaited national settlement (paid via etransfer, no receipts required)

    Jump

  • It asks for the most recent bread purchase. Technically, it doesnt even have to be from the Loblaws family, although I don't know if putting anything else would disqualify you. It also doesn't say prior to 2022, so what you bought in the last week would also be correct. That makes it easier to answer, I suppose.

  • Not having the expectations doesn't mean you don't have the ability. Not that that will stop things from being shitty when you grow up, intelligent or not.

    Edit: missed the "still" part. Pretty spot on.

  • Well, it was also proven that the Shuttle was a generally unsafe design. That seems like a good reason to unilaterally decommission anything.

  • This article gives some information on why some have abandoned hope for Firefox and Mozilla. AI focus, changing its stance on selling user data, and the overall loss of focus. It's still better than most, IMO, but some of its forks better represent those who feel that way.

  • Well, this isn't a unique concept. The fact it goes horrible pretty quickly and people keep falling for it is the truly impressive part.
