I’ve been procrastinating for weeks about setting up a dev environment to help contribute to the codebase, but I didn’t procrastinate at all in preordering a Core-2. My Pebble Time might be the last piece of consumer tech that I was both excited for and a satisfied customer of.

That article is light on details. Trying to push 1000kW into an 800V drive train (current state of the art) is going to generate a LOT of heat. Is BYD going to increase the drivetrain voltage in order to bring required amperage down (and heat gen with it)? A lot of car makers haven’t even made it to 800 yet.

My car could charge in well under 15 minutes if any charger in my area could make it to the advertised 350kW. My high water mark so far (after 3 months) is 185kW. Usually its closer to 80.

You’ll never make me break up with beans!

Anyone remember lolcode?

She’s a real go-getter, that one.

I’ve been hearing good things about Nicole17

You’re just mad we all have a girlfriend.

Reminds me of that George Carlin joke: Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

So half of people are dumb enough to think autocomplete with a PR team is smarter than they are… or they’re dumb enough to be correct.

Other commenters have given great info so far. I’ll tack on that the community discovery within the Lemmy web UI is terrible. If you want to dig for communities other than gets suggested here, the Communities tab on Lemmy Explorer is much better.

My uncle had 3 replacement knees because he had one long enough to wear it out. Being a tennis pro for almost 50 years is hard on the joints.

Water then bag: I brew in a pot and used to use one of those diffuser baskets that rests just below the lid. I switched to bags but kept the order of operations the same.

I’ll celebrate when no one considers this to be news.

I’ll chain on: This is why the english language calls the citrus fruit “Orange,” in a round-about way.

The Persians named them Narangs when they acquired them from Asia, which the Spanish turned into “naranja.” But when they crossed the channel “a naranja” became “an aranja” which eventually became “an orange.”

It’d be a subtle addition to the joke if the C++ side didn’t have seatbelts.

A Flipper Zero. I probably have the components to make something functionally equivalent, but that form factor, all-in-one nature, and simple UI look nice.

I have no need for it, I just want to tinker.
