I definitely had a translucent tape player and clock radio in 1995.

I was going to call bullshit but damn if you aren’t right.

Their filing system will be incompatible with mine and we will both hide each other’s things in plain sight.

In many cases, Wine on Linux is better for running decades-old Windows software than Windows 10 or 11.

I hope there’s a light in the shower since blinds are opaque while shower curtains are not.

I heard lead poisoning can help poisoners not relapse.

Just ride off into the sunset Pat, your time in the spotlight is over.

Nice info! A few notes:

Volts are not energy. Volts are a component of electrical energy. The drop in voltage is because of the additional load on the circuit that the charger represents. Energy losses come out as heat. If something gets hot while it’s doing its job and its job is not to heat things it means that it’s got a loss of energy somewhere. I’d bet that the charger warms up in use, and the loss is likely greater than the 1.75% loss that you were thinking you had with the voltage sag.

L1 charging is less efficient for a few reasons, but the biggest increase you get in efficiency from the L2+ charges is time. Triple the charge rate gets you full in an afternoon rather than overnight. But then you can parlay that into cost savings by timing your charge to off-peak times and charge up on cheaper electricity, if it is available in your area.

Electric cars do have an easily measurable range drop in cold weather for the reasons you outlined. Gas cars really shine in cold weather because not only do they not perform measurable worse in terms of range when the thermometer drips, but they also make their own heat, ALL THE TIME. In electric cars you have to use battery power to heat both the battery and the cabin, which is yet another drain on range. But, that gas combustion heat is loss in the summer when you’re not using it. Like the waste from your charger, but this time it also comes with emissions.

For me it’s an investment in freezing my housing costs. I bought 8 years ago and since then the increases in my housing costs have been around 5% as taxes go up. In the same time period, rent for the apartment I was in previously has gone up 65% and is higher than my mortgage payment. Had I not purchased a house there’s a good chance I would have had to either move in with family or move to a much cheaper area.

Photorealism and stylized animation are not the same thing and are used in different contexts.

Tell that to my mortgage.

For the record I own exactly one house, it’s in terrible condition and I don’t have the funds to renovate. Because of the mortgage.

Killing a rapist mid-act is not wrong. Killing an innocent person because they have the misfortune of being insured by your company is wrong.

I have been blessed with what the articles you’ve seen claim women say is the perfect dong. About 1 in 5 women have told me it was too large and uncomfortable while the rest have told me how much better bigger ones like mine are. One refused me outright after she saw it.

Funny thing is guys stare WAY more in nude situations.

Turns out after looking it up someone has done a more scientific study which determined that women prefer a 6.3 x 4.8 incher for a long-term partner, which is honestly much more reasonable when confronted with the actual stats on how big a human dong generally is.

The wonderful side effect of buying cheaper games is you never have to worry about buying a game that is the result of a megacorp dropping $400 million into a metastasized web of sweatshop developers that comes with a "micro"transaction store where you can spend $240 on a new pair of shiny shoes for your avatar.

Be nice, Intel can’t afford real marketing these days.

If I did that to my cat I would become the victim of trauma.

If you have high impedance headphones and you’re not using a headphone preamp you’re not getting everything you paid for out of those cans.

HEADCRABS AND CROWBARS WERE BOTH IN HALF-LIFE 1.
