Yeah... after having a child we needed to double the size of our trashcan just because of diapers.

I mean there are a ton of bad stuff happening many places. Don't understand why I should care so much about this one.

I absolutely can though? Looking forward to the next news cycle as this is getting kinda boring.

Islam gets around this the same way they get around no sex before marriage. With a bullshit workaround that god is totally cool with because it follows the letter but not the spirit. You can marry someone for an hour and then divorce them. Totally halal prostitution.

A loan with interest these days for 1 million USD at 6% interest over 20 years will have you end up paying 2.5Million for that 1 Million house. It's bullshit but it is a system that somewhat works. If interest goes up you pay more, interest go down you pay less unless you have locked in at a fixed rent.

In Islam the banks still want to make money of course so they just pre calculate this and call it a fee. It ends up being interest, baked in at a fixed price.

So happy I do not live in a big city right now. So annoying to be blocked by these people when trying to get anywhere.

Does he work at Rivian?

Cringe take. I'ts just a fun pretty system monitor tool. I work as a senior cloud architect. I have 10 years of pretty heavy professional and home Linux usage and I just installed it on my home server because I have a unused 1/3 on one of my monitors at home where it can just live forever inside tmux.

It's fun to see Plex take more resources because someone started a stream, or see the different parts of kubernetes working when I start a few containers. I have also added a drive to my btrfs raid so I was interested in seeing what kinda load the re balance did on the system over time. Turns out not much. It's a fun tool.

I use different tools on the several Azure environments I am part of maintaining lol.

Yes

Israel made those men kill hundreds of people at a concert. They had no other choice. Brave protestors. Do you even listen to yourself?

It is a pretty clown face move to attach those that supply your water, electricity and fuel.

Oh I love allegories. Let me try.

Imagine there was a murderer in your building. But he is not really interested in murdering you, he keeps shooting at some other people you also hate. The feds have tried to go into the building to extract the murderer, but his friends and you lynched the feds when they tried. The murderer has stockpiled his guns in the building and the feds figure that if they can't get to the murderer at least they can destroy his guns and vantage point from which he is firing at people. They don't really want to destroy the building but the murderer is actively trying to kill people and the people he is trying to kill demands action.

You receive a text message that the building you are in will be destroyed shortly. You want to leave, but now the murderer says he will kill you if you do.

It is a very silly thing to think that having a "civilian" stay in a legitimate military target ( rocket launcher and or rocket storage ) makes it a place that is untouchable!

Are they even lazy though? As far as I know that check and block has to be implemented. If they were lazy it would just work.

I see some claims that these people are being weapnized by Russia. Any validity to these claims? Seems beyond a coinsidence that so many show up at the same time. They are also barricading and digging in it looks like. Pretty crazy.

RustDesk looks extremely user friendly and simple. If this is beyond the targeted users consider that this task may be beyond their capabilities.

I never trust anything from a big company. I always look at independent tests. If you bought computer hardware based on manufacturer lies you would think you had faulty hardware every time. If you buy food and drinks or medicine based on manufacturer advertising you would think you were sold counterfeit items. Always be skeptical and always verify independently where possible.

There are a lot of independent tests now where different cars are taken to a road and driven at the same time until the battery runs out. Then you get a decent real world example of what the vehicles are capable of. Also with nice direct comparisons to other manufacturers which is nice.

Use google translate or something if you would like to read, but basically this is a third party test of electric cars that test during summer and winter which is highly relevant for me. and Tesla occupies 2 of the top 3 spots.

*Edit: I actually misread the test. Tesla occupies 3 of the top 3 spots. With a Model S, a Model 3, and then another older Model S.

If I go to buy a new Model 3 Long Range on Teslas homepage right now I get 602 km range estimate. The independent test drove it 654.9 km on a sunny day. It got 514.8 km on a winter day. Winter days in Norway can get quite cold. I would feel quite comfortable buying a Tesla based on this test.

Tesla could say their cars could fly for all I care. The fact is that the Model 3 in this test comes very close to a Mercedes Benz EQS 580 in range. That is supremely impressive. Even if the Model 3 is a lot lighter and less comfortable to drive the range is very impressive for a car that is about a third of the price.

What have you tried driving so far?

Yeah, thanks. On iPhone tho and it seems a bit more restricted there.

Buying a car should be a fun experience. Book a few testdrives and try to enjoy the experience. When looking for a new car there has always been several I disliked, but I always found one or two that felt comfortable in.

What a bad take. These things are safety additions and will by responsible drivers be treated as such. Backup cameras are standard safety equipment now, do you also hate those? Shitty drivers will be shitty with or without safety precautions from a car. When one of those shitty drivers attempts to change into my lane while not checking if it is clear. At least I can hope their car prevents them from smashing into me.

Good for you. I love getting in the car that is cool on a hot summers day because I activated the climate control from my phone 5 minutes before leaving or having a nice toasty warm car on a freezing winter day. I enjoy telling my car I want to go to an address I have not been at before and it navigates me there without having to press more than one button or inputting an address. I then enjoy a huge nice map both in the center cluster and a big display that shows a large map so I don't have to squint at my relatively small phone on a mount. I enjoy telling my car what I want to listen to and it plays that music. I enjoy not putting getting my phone out of my pants pocked and into a mount. Especially for shorter rides. I also especially enjoy not having my car in for oil changes, not having to stop for gas, the car having a full "tank" every morning and other such comforts.

The car has it's own spotify account which for me is great, because I listen to different types of music when driving compared to when I am using my phone at work or in the gym. Music services working the way they do these days it means it will suggest more great driving music when in the car and not music that is similar to what I listen to in the gym. If I want to listen to that the phone is of course connected to bluetooth and is just a input change away.

I hope you can continue enjoying your type of desired driving experience. But realize there are other perspectives. I am also a techie at home and at work ( Cloud IT-consultant, previously Systems Architecht, previously Technician ). I also do minor work such as changing headlights, filters, and 12-volt batteries myself. I know how to change oil on a car and do some simple home improvement stuff such as simple carpentry and putting in new flooring. But when I get in my car I just want it to be in the background and don't be in the way. Just get in and go. Being in a Tesla is where I am happiest for now.
