Kinda yes, kinda no. There have certainly been times, particularly after 9/11 and various crises, when demand dropped significantly.
There’s also airliners that just haven’t sold well. A340NG, A380, 747-8, 767-400, the MD-11, until recently the Cseries/A220. The A330neo has also not sold particularly well and you could probably get a slot within a year easily.
You’re better off putting the panel somewhere where it always gets sun, and isn’t extra weight you have to haul around.
Leafs have battery packs with no active heating or cooling, which significantly impacts their performance in bad weather and when fast charging. Coupled with very small packs in the early models, and you have a recipe for a bad experience.
Bear in mind also that the extra weight and possibly aerodynamic compromises actually reduce range. In some cases, particularly at night, in poor weather, and at high speed, the panels would be a net negative.
They would only be useful if your car sat around in the sun for long periods without access to a charger.
HDMI and DP do not carry their signals in the same way. HDMI/DVI use a pixel clock and one wire pair per colour, whereas DP is packet-based.
“DisplayPort++” is the branding for a DP port that can pretend to be an HDMI or DVI port, so an adapter or cable can convert between the two just by rearranging the pins.
To go from pure DisplayPort to HDMI, or to go from an HDMI source to a DP monitor, you need an ‘active’ adapter, which decodes and re-encodes the signal. These are bigger and sometimes require external power.
Turning that instinct off when going through security screening, customs, or biosecurity is usually a good idea.
I’ve certainly never heard of a chicken ranch, but plenty of chicken farms.
The actual eruption happened in 2019. It was big news locally when it happened, and there has been a slow trickle of further reports like this one.
It wasn’t a particularly big eruption; the fact that people were on the rather small volcanic island when it erupted is what led to the deaths.
The efforts towards a prosecution have been long and slow because it’s probably going to be a real mess:
Adventure tourism including visiting active volcanoes is inherently dangerous.
Did the scientists get the volcano risk levels wrong?
Which entities should get criminal blame? Island owner, tour providers, tour transport providers (boats), and/or the various regulators?
It sounds like that’s all sorted and they’re into sentencing on those that were found guilty.
I wouldn’t start worrying until 50k+ hours.
There should be a way to view SMART info and that includes an hour count.
Yeah, you can’t really say “we started the engines but #2 wouldn’t start, so we’re continuing to the destination on one engine”. Delaying/cancelling the flight due to a safety/maintenance issue is perfectly legitimate.
The issue is that after that, a) passengers are entitled to compensation depending on the delay, and b) you need to provide food/water/aircon or take the passengers back to the terminal.
Biggest question to me is why you need an IP in the first place?
It can also include situations where the worker isn’t paid what was agreed.
For example, if you were going to have a 10% commission but the employer lowers this to 2% or nothing, or where a $30/hour rate magically becomes $15/hour after hiring.
They might legally be able to cut your pay by giving notice - this will depend on the jurisdiction. In other regimes, they essentially have to go through the full legal process to fire you.
The passenger volume, cost, and build-it-today claims are I think in line with theirs. The only outlier is the energy claim, which is so absurdly false that it falls into puffery (think ‘red bull gives you wings’) and is again believable.
It’s clear HSR costs, and infrastructure in general, are getting out of control in the English-speaking world. It’s not clear how to fix this, but moving from proven and understood technology to Muppet technology doesn’t seem to be a good option.
:(
Not sure if sarcastic…
Yeah, NZ & Aus both have a ‘standard drinks’ system.
My guess is that larger quantities of alcohol (particularly bottles of spirits but also wine) simply aren’t intended to be drunk by one person in one sitting. Total volume of alcohol isn’t that useful; it’s more useful to be able to work out how much is in one shot or one glass.
This is especially important when you look at the same product being sold by the shot/bottle/cask/barrel, or being able to buy a gallon of it in your own container historically.
In beverages, it’s g/100ml.
Yup. Expect that everything lasts exactly as long as you don’t want it to.
Musk said last week: “I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.”
Isn’t he the world’s richest person currently?
You rapidly end up with a freeloader issue.
I didn’t realise it was possible to hate every side of an argument this strongly.
