Didn't see it coming, and it totally made my day when you came on - thanks CD!

Yep - can't wait for Alex to do the drop-in version for the Lisa hardware - much easier for overclocking than hacking the original boards

You know that Hegseth bloke? The American with opinions about us and how we live and what we should do. I mean, I'm a polite chap, I have no wish to offend, but mate. Fuck off.

Honestly, it seems like both questions should be *very* simple to answer and deeply troubling for anyone to think they have an option of equivocation

From my personal experience, no additional stress. I think this is the original point - the inconvenience is largely imagined. My kids loved the break - it actually changed the family dynamic from the “must just get there as fast as I can”, to being part of the journey

Doesn't really sound like a humble opinion :) Your experience is vanishingly unusual - not an achilles heel at all

Probably useful to be less generic - this is a vanishingly rare occurrence, so I'm surprised you had it happen twice - there would need to be something about those vehicles - I'm guessing the 2014 one was a Leaf?

Apple just called them "disks" - unless it was a Hard Disk, like the HD20 - again - I suspect it's a local thing - I've never heard them called diskettes

Ken Taylor @ozobken.bsky.social · 11/01/2026
Nope - 3.5" disks were floppies - I'm the same age as you - for Macs they were 400k floppies or 800k floppies - and 720/1.4 floppies on PCs - what country are you from? might be a local thing

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

We were definitely stuffing up 50 years ago, and for orders of magnitude more money About 50 years ago (1973), Skylab rattled itself apart on launch and managed to be cobbled together into a partial success until it fell on Australia

They know about the “power of buying two”?
0140
Ken Taylor @ozobken.bsky.social · 01/04/2025
I think he addressed that - because it's much cheaper to charge off-peak, so sometimes you won't charge completely each session before the off-peak period ends. I do the same-but-opposite here where I charge from my solar during the day, but stop at 3pm as the feed-in price goes up then.
000
Ken Taylor @ozobken.bsky.social · 01/04/2025
Yep - so basically the same as an EV, but much more expensive

Ken Taylor @ozobken.bsky.social · 01/04/2025
Over the time owning my EV, I have spent FAR less time waiting to "fill up" that I ever did with my previous petrol/diesel cars - it's just not a thing
030
Ken Taylor @ozobken.bsky.social · 27/03/2025
I'm chill - My point is it would be very rare for you to completely drain the battery in that hypothetical EV4, so it doesn't matter if it takes 2 days - you can still drive the car after a few hours on the first day. My counterpoint is it doesn't matter "how much power is in cars"
000
Ken Taylor @ozobken.bsky.social · 27/03/2025
Which "mid range" EV has a 97.5kWh battery? We drive every day based on a similar amount of solar production with 2 EVs - It's not the problem you think it is - in fact - we restrict the cars to charging before 3pm because that's when we get paid most for feeding the grid

If you need to interconnect, just use a Cat6A cable. The new switch ports are backward compatible with older 8P8C (RJ45 if you like) connector. The pokey-out bit on the GG45 tells the switch port it has the top pins

Economics of Coalition’s nuclear modelling are worth nothing
There may well still be good reasons to favour nuclear. But on the basis of this modelling, the economics isn’t one of them.
