When I started, my advisor told me to not think of myself as an employee, but as a "researcher". IE I don't get to clock out, my life revolved around learning/reseaching
As scary as the lockdown was, it was an interesting year of protests for BLM and labor movements. Once everyone had a lot of time on their hands, they started to take action on import topics.
Now I feel like most people are back to the grind, and as a whole we don't have the time to quickly make changes we want to see
I am struggling to find a source, but the tradeoff between road and railways scales with congestion. The infrastructure needed for moving 1000 trucks per hour on a road is much more expensive than 1 truck per hour. Rails, however, scale much more easily, as the freightline is typically closely managed already.
I mean that may be "the truth", but it is purposely not "the whole truth". Which is a violation of the oath. The only way jury nullification is allowed is if a jury independently decides not to convict, because then jury is unbiased in deciding that the law is wrong or shouldn't apply.
Again, if you are selected for jury duty, and you already have decided you will ignore the law to avoid convicting the criminal, then there is no way you can make it past the selection without lying to the court.
Just to be clear, one of the standard questions to ask a potential jury is "you must be able to render a verdict solely on the
evidence presented at the trial and in the context of the law as I will give it to you in my instructions, disregarding any other ideas, notions, or beliefs about the law. Are you able to do this?"
If you know about jury nullification, with the intent of using it, then you need to lie under oath to get past this question.
What is this system called? I'd like to read up on it. Maybe there couldnbe regulations that those kind of systems need to use grey or recycle water. Maybe they already are in some data centers too
A big consumer in the fresh water market is agriculture. Whenever articles talk about demand exceeding freshwater supplies, it's referring to agriculture demand, which usually draw from dams, rivers, or lakes.
City water treatmant plants also usually start with pulling water from a river or water reservoir.
The costs with these consumers suddenly spinning up a saltwater or other advanced purification plant, that could perhaps function without a large freshwater reservoir, is prohibitively expensive. Especially for developing countries, where agriculture could be a large part of the economy
I think the real killer for biking is anytime I hit a steep hill. Doesn't matter if I'm slow or fast, I lose so much energy climbing hills. And the wattage for climbing even at slow speeds can be high enough that smaller motors struggle.
The USA assasinating the supreme leader of Russia is such a big trigger to start the nuclear holocaust. That's so so much worse than the assasination that started WW1. The US isn't even on the same continent
Computers are very dumb things that will do exactly what you tell them to. You accidently forgot that you told them to infinitely add +1 to a finite number? Boy it sure will
Here I thought this was a programming joke about programmers blaming the code/hardware for throwing random bugs that differ somehow from the very direct instructions they compiled.
I previously had a truck, but had to get rid of it once it started having some engine issues. I lived in the city, so I figured I could make do with a sedan.
Boy do I miss my truck. I never really realized how much I needed it in big-city,USA, but it sure is apparent now. Plenty of times I need to haul something for work, or sometimes pop a curb to set up some tabling stuff, or even just hauling my bike for hitting some trails. My next car is probably going to truck, hopefully something small that is fuel efficient and easy to park. I just don't want to give up having the convenience of a bed that can haul heavy, messy stuff, it's too convenient for me
I mean, the US isn't a market where sedans and coupes ("conventional cars" as the OP says) can succeed. SUVs and CUVs have been the popular choice for consumers here by far. Domestic automakers get the majority of the sales from the US market, so of course their EV line needs to address that market.
Seems like the system is working as intended to me. If people were going to buy an ICE crossover before, and now they bought an EV style instead, that's a win
And the work-life balance is atrocious.
