  • who needs a fuckin’ hypothesis

    everyone. Its how theories are formed,

    but yes science journalism is shitty and intentionally fails,0 to indicate the difference between an idea, hypothesis and theory. Just to gain clicks.

  • Travelling I assume. Printing very much depends on the fillament etc. not much a printer can do to change that. But a nearly 30% increase in travel speed has a significant effect on the over all time.

    According to the WSJ, Trump privately approved plans for an assault on Iran pending a final decision.

    It is not exactly a smoking gun. The US gov has its military advisors formulates plans for every option as a matter of course.

  • UK fusion reactor dream gets another £2.5 billion from gov't

    Jump

  • Not yet. We have only been doing 2 years. And are now staying in Oxford over this summer and next while we redo the interia of the boat.

    The flooring is the 1976 original so is starting to have issues with damp.

    We also plan to build all the furniture so it can easily be moved to check the bilge etc.

    Basically on the way back from Wales last summer we had to stop and get some of the hull over plated.

  • I don't live in it. Although I also know many who do.

    My brother and I use it to travel the network for leisure. We are both retired due to health and vision. So we each take it for a few weeks. Moving around the nation. Then get bk us or train to swap over. While the other spends time at home.

  • At the very least, CYA. It was well over a decade ago, but.

    I vaguely remember comments about the force's post investigation not wanting to be racist in suspecting gangs. Being little more than ignoring the fact the teen girls had no option to consent. While ignoring the threat or fear as the motive when they refused to testify. Just assuming the girls were involved in underage prostitution willingly. This attitude as I remember increased the fear in these victims as the police became a threat that just returned the girls, rather than a potential solution.

    While actually ignoring teen girls and parents reporting approaches by some cultures as assumed racism from the harassment victims. Rather than dealing with very complex investigations, they lacked the labour to manage effectively. So basically using the excuse to remove reports from the accounting.

  • Women-only tower block in Acton to open next summer

  • Honestly as much as the current terf idiots are insane.

    I think that even they tend to be less worried about trans men sharing women's spaces then the other way around.

    Honestly in their mind they really are still women. Trans men moving in would just reinforce Thier views.

  • ATM the boat is being rebuilt inside. Replacing everything.

    So the system is in bits. Hidden in the engine bay.

    I have old pics of the boat before we regilt all the electrics etc. if it's the shape etc your interested in.

    If your a Brit who knows the canals. Think small sprinter but with a flat hull. It's not actually a springer but same steel standards etc.

  • Project Gemini FAQ

  • Yeah. I guessed that. But I doubt it is registered as a trade mark. So Google can still cause issues.

    Although it comes down to if the use can be confused. That is not normally decided by technical conpidence.

  • She married a U.S. citizen for love. After she alleged abuse, he threatened deportation.

    Jump

  • Yep.

    My guess haveing delt with the process. Moving to a green card process supported by marriage. Meant her student visas no longer applied. Only being married for 1 year. As this is why such claims are temp to begin. Means she may be deported well before her student plans are complete.

    Even before the current insanity. Things like that were risky.

  • Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi

    Jump

  • Yep that can work. But ignores all the well documented and supported development community comments I pointed to while also indicating other options exist.

    As for.

    Turning some switches on and off while monitoring input values doesn’t sound very computationally intensive.

    You realise IO wise that describes your keyboard and mouse interaction on the most powerful gaming PCs.

    It's what you do with the results that matters.

    GPIO supports a fair bit more then the on and off input and output. It's slow compared to other systems. But has multiple serial protocols of differing types. Simple GUI displays can also be run via gpio connections. Low Res Lidar devices are available connected via the spi connections with all the data processed on that host PC.

    So no gpio use can require all levels of processing power post connection. It is after all designed for experimentation and prototyping.

    For my project. You clost to correct. I just use a simple GUI displays with xorg. So a pie 0 is plenty. And way lower power then the other options. It links to a pwm controller to power 2 12v 200w water tank heaters a relay for a 750w AC heater. Bluetooth connection to a BMS and solar MPPT. While operating multiple temp sensors measuring at different levels. And warning of legionaries risk. If the tank has not been over 65c in 14 days (actually 10 days but I'm over careful given the health status of my brother and I).

    So much less then the tiny Pie 0 would not be able to cope but mainly due to the need for the vision impaired interface. Speaking functions dose not take much. But doing so without being unusably slow is about the limit of a pie 0.

  • Worth noting pie 4 and 5 no longer recommend 5w PSU. And tend to fail if anything is drawing on the USB.

  • Not simple to remove. They can all be taken out.

    But the fire risk is a very valid point. All laptops should indicate they should not be left alone when charging. While many do. Setting one up in a unobserved location to run permanently should be batteryless or Lifepo4 adapted. So laptops may not be best suited to this environment. A used thin client or other DC input option may be much easier. Or an old desktop if batts and not wanted.

  • Some fun facts.

    Much of the modern phone tech you use now. Is based on principals amature radio experimenters developed.

    The hobby has been an active part of electromagnetic research since the 1920s. And while all the protocols etc are upgraded to fit with commercial use. The basic theories were discovered by hobbyists.

    We have even funded a few Leo satellites over the years. Many were launched in the 90 to early 2000. As Russia was using disabled ICBMs to send them up while meeting disarmerment treaties. US spent a fortune Russia profited from Thier disarmament.

    Look up amsat AO 51. I watched that launch (via video link) in 2004 but that and a small donation to it is my only sat input. I tend to play with HF or Shortwave radio more. Getting signals to travel world wide with 0 inferstructure and often low power is more my interest.

    But amature radio covers such a wide field nowadays. Most with some technical interest can find something they like.

    If you look up M0IXP it was not valid in 2004. I had a US licence under KG4ZGG from the FCC then. And have had 2 other between. M0IXP is mine for life now. As it is a level where much of the world either let's me use it(lookup CEPT and amature radio). Or will issue a new local call sign if I show them the UK one (reciprocal licence agreements with the UK in non CEPT member nations). The others were all at lower levels. This leads many full licence holders to use the hobby as an excuse to travel. Tend to call them DXpeditions when groups do it.

    Yes this is a vain attempt to sell my hobby. Ignore if not interested. But it's good to find newbies if folks are. It can also be way cheaper now then it was when I started. Due to hams developing SDR and huge commercial use of that tech. But cheaper is not always cheap. Depending on what type of radio interests you.

  • 25ft narrowboat. If not in UK that is a 7ft wide boat/barge designed for our narrow canal system. My brother and I are both visually impaired so the longer ones are not really doable for us.

    We spend the summers travelling the 2000 miles of canal network swapping over ever few weeks. I purchased the panals last year thinking they were as cheap as they were gonna get. But we are leaving the boat home to redo the interia over this and next summer. So they are filling my brother living room ATM. 1.7x1.qm each. So will cover most of the free roof of our little boat.

    Honestly it's a total guess. But the density of new panals is why I think the price has dropped. All the cheap panals are around 20% efficent but we know 25 of higher has been possible for a good while.

    My guess is the price of making those has dropped to the point many chinese etc factories are planning to reequip. And they are selling of the glass 20% stuff while folks are looking.

    Once 25% is the price these were 2 years ago. Commercial use will likely move over entirely. Can't imagine the big factories wanting to be stuck on the larger panals then.

    But it's just a guess.
