I thought we decided FAANGM was better as FAGMAN.

And sizzling is good.

Would meteorologists be writing that stuff or just using it? I would have thought using, but not programming.

I’m interested but don’t know enough to understand that answer.

I would have thought you need a bunch of fancy software for meteorology (expecting on windows).

They do not believe NATO ships are that vulnerable

Oh they are, so a shit ton is being done for anti missile, anti submarine, now anti flying drone, should be anti jet ski drone, anti submarine drone, etc.

Freight trains are diesel electric.

Lol $100k US, but global is Canadian and they converted to $130k CAD.

I think in certain areas for your EV you want a gas powered heater for the battery and cabin. That’s how I think EV transit buses should do it too.

It advanced at a glacier pace because there was no massive driving force. It only kicked off a bit with cell phones and then in any substantial way with laptops. (Yes, batteries existed before that for different things, but there was no massive driving force.) Now imagine what would have happened if we funded it starting in the 1970s.

It’s incredible how certain people are conditioned to think the sound of a gas motor and shifting because your puny motor is out of optimal torque and rpm range are manly.

Long term we’ll get lighter batteries.

The motors have never been the problem, it’s always been the battery. See train engines, they are a diesel generator with electric motors.

This is where history pisses me off. We should have been headlong into battery research after the oil embargoes. Could have been 40 years faster.

Overlooks that was to someone that called someone dense and that I specified “with that attitude”. 😬 Just like I called out your comment. This is not a paradox of intolerance.

And a quick look at your profile shows that you are rife with those kind of comments.

If you haven’t noticed there’s a lot of negativity on this platform, your comment included. It really needs to change.

I think this is the case for a lot of words. It ceases to be a combination of words and it’s just one word. Then in the shower you break it down and ohhh.

Go away with that attitude.

Everyone would die of heart attacks. I’m glad no one is trying this, the death rate would be through the roof.

Heh good insight.

(Ps I also have these thoughts about breaking words down (unicorn is uni-corn) and some people get really snarky about it. Don’t let bad comments get to you.)

Oppo-site? Now I’m wondering about everything.
