  • In my workplace a stretch goal is code for "we almost certainly can't do it but the scrum master thinks we might"

    My team was given another team's stretch goal after management worked out the translation

  • Tech debt is fixing the roof to save on changing the buckets under the leak

  • Tit just used to mean small. That's how the word came to be used for some boobs, then all boobs. Perhaps teat (nipple) got shortened also, but the bird is named for being small

    There's also the titmouse which is littler than other mice

  • I'm not sure what you're asking which of. I might have not worded the last part of my comment unambiguously

    To rewrite:

    I don't think you can tell Linux from a Unix by looking at it reliably. Though in general unixes are tidier, there are Linux users that are just as tidy and keep their system just like a Unix one

  • We have an eco system in southern Australia that at the moment is eucalyptus trees. They take over all at once after a fire, and they live about 300 years. When they die off rainforest trees and undergrowth take over, until there's a dry period and fire

  • With fountain pens people believe that the nibs become personal with use. Also they think they need different skill.

    I'm glad I use fountain pens. Nearly no one wants to borrow one, those who do are also pen nerds do won't steal or misuse it

  • This is not very enticing as an idea — that something special happened to have this universe just right — as we really don't know whether there were unsuccessful universes before ours, we don't know what happened before the big bang that created our universe

    There could be good reasons we don't know of that forces all the constants to be as they are. The dice could have been cast many times before. We can't know. This idea doesn't help

  • Flying international from Australia I really miss headphone ports. The USB port is needed to keep the phone charged, since even the biggest batteries only give you about 4 hours of YouTube. My Bluetooth headphones last about 16hrs, so that's almost enough. I usually carry alternative Bluetooth earbuds that last several hours to cover such gaps

  • Australia has a rule that phones have to have a warranty for at least as long as the contract period. So most of ours are paid off in 2 years, and that's when the carriers start advertising at you heavily

  • I wonder if mad max mode is different for Australian cars. All it does here is pass other cars on multi lane roads even if they're only going a tiny bit slower than you. The other settings are more tolerant of slowing down. Mad max is the least tolerant of three TACC settings.

    It still stops at any intersection, including green lights unless you authorise it or it sees several other cars going through. It always stops at stop or give way signs.

    Speed settings: if you activate self steering you can't go more than 10km/h over the speed limit as the car currently believes it to be (mine reads a temporary 80 sign as 30, and an end of road works 100 sign half in a ditch as 60). With self steering off you can set whatever speed. It flashes the speed at you if you select a speed higher than its idea of the limit.

    My speed is set to +2km/h as that's the speedometer error, so in an 80 zone it defaults to 82

  • I was at least expecting a kerb

  • There is so incredibly much knowledge that isn't on the internet.

  • A child got by my small long range EV would be more likely to survive than one hit by a similar weight internal combustion vehicle as mine is a car (with proper pedestrian safety) and the other would be much higher and larger.

    A child still cares that the front of the vehicle is low, that it doesn't have a bull bar. A kid would be better off hit by an electric car than by a landcruiser

    A 2t EV is much smaller than a 2t diesel

  • I don't think there are chargers close enough together across the Nullarbor. Darwin is also hard

  • I'm on a visit to the wine region around Adelaide, and am staying in Willunga. The trips I'm doing need a car, and the timing would be similar and the cost higher if I had flown to Adelaide and hired a car for the month

    And I couldn't have seen the painted silos had I flown

    And I couldn't have seen the sights of the great ocean road had I flown

    And road trips in an EV are quite nice.

    You can make good savings by not having a car at all, but that's not possible outside Sydney and Melbourne and probably Hobart

  • Sure, but access doesn't need to be at 100km/h. You only lose a few minutes at each end going from a rural road to a well maintained one at 80

  • Unpopular stuff gets voted to oblivion just with random drive-bys. It looks like brigading but doesn't need to be organised

  • Friends and enough to eat is a pretty good recipe for happiness. Presuming you can be rich and still need a job, make it a job that isn't stressful

  • No they can't, at least not in general. The longest lived, easiest to date, life has been trees, but there's no suggestion that they'll survive climate change

    Most trees have live spans in the low hundreds of years
