Consider this: every record I play has a faint recording of the room, every time it has been played, since no turntable or cartridge is perfectly isolated, and, being diamond rubbing against vinyl, will leave some trace of the room sound behind.

It’s the underlying crux of the entire series, and even Foundation too. The Zeroeth law requires a massive war to develop it and still doesn’t solve the problem.

Usually just air quotes right. Well since people caught on to the ‘echo’ dog whistle of 3 brackets some racists moved to quotes too. I was just checking, so nvm, don’t let them try to steal that the way they did with the ok hand gesture.

No no, after initial degradation, the battery health levels off and stays around 90% for a long while, generally.

My ICE vehicles are maintained but don’t have the new car fuel efficiency either. I wouldn’t be surprised to find they have lost 15% since they are pretty old.

Recent research shows that batteries are likely to outlast the body of most EVs, if the battery is not abused.

Also, people overestimate the typical daily range used with the primary or secondary vehicles, but even short range EVs cover the average daily drive for most.

Just for Leafs and some of the short range compliance cars like Golfs that don’t have active thermal management of the battery. The old SparkEV batteries are following the expected curve mostly: about 10% loss in the 8yr warranty period, followed by relative plateau of slow degradation mitigated somewhat by its overprovisioning. Hyundai and Kia etc. batteries should be fine, for example.

Telemetry is just as much a problem though.

I bought glasses recently and, like the dork I am, loudly complained about trying to find a pair that didn’t have advertisements in the form of logos on the arms. Since they aren’t discounted as compensation for fluffing their marketing department, and all that.

Clerk said ‘yeah they actually charge more for the stupid name’ and shoppers laughed so people mostly know but comply. The supply chain is perverse, ok. Life is full of struggle so the small ones slide.

Ah, OK then someone needs to tell you that the 3 quotes lately has been used by white supremacists as a dog whistle for jewishness, especially referring to economic control.

A chicken is a vegetable that can count and ask for hugs.

Krill were my first choice, squids might be up there too, but the word ‘species’ instead of a more broad taxonomic term is a special limit.

Mushroom = sex organ of alien invaders

I don’t understand your nonsense… you must be a fish.

Cuttlefish are molluscs. Smart mussels then!

OK Richard, I will bite. Why three (3) quote marks?

Thanks for the inlitenment!

Edit/tl;dr: there are other intentional abuses of grammar in that comment you corrected, can you spot them?

‘Tis a tale of competing supply chains. The Empire prevails, despite reason and the will of The People.

For all intensive purposes, we have become too lose with txt quality, and it effects my mental health.

Well not all of us have the privilege of travelling ten whole miles and then remembering to look back, eh!

Is that Kolanaki’s Law, then?

“Any group that gets its rocks off pretending to be stupid, eventually will be filled with actual stupid people who think they are in good company.”

Ooo, cooling mat! Well then, no wonder it’s still running. One of the easiest laptops to fix, too, so you could just repurpose it.

Also, when you buy an Air, consider whether you are going to be gaming or not. If not, a M2 with 16 GB of RAM can be a lot cheaper than new, and my 16GB M1 is still awesome even for some intensive use.
