Big part of this would be that its a foiling boat and that massively reduces drag from the water. Keeping weight and drag down are the secret to improving efficiency for EVs be they boats or cars. Any decent marina its easy to get multiple 22kw shore supply as well, it can be expensive and metered but you aren't going to be waiting that long to recharge your boat.

Electric makes the most sense on sail boats as they already have a green source of energy, and thanks to hydro they can convert some of that motion generated by the wind into charge for the batteries. Couple with solar and you start to look at a decent amount of energy generation.

Sail boats also tend to have far less powerful ICE than your average motor yacht, so you need less powerful EV motors to achieve the same speed, and in the right conditions you only really need the motor getting in and out of the harbor so your battery bank is smaller and lighter. Plus you could make the batteries do double duty as the house batteries as well.

The trick will be to get the super rich out of their shitty super yachts that burn a couple of thousand dollars of fuel per hour, they could already have sail boats but choose not to for the increased living space that they can get out of the same length of boat due to being able to build much higher due to no masts.

I disagree with that for thumbs, mine tend to be much flatter against the keyboard than my arched fingers, so I can hit the split space and mods easier with my thumbs if that row is at least 1.5u and preferably 2u for at least the split space keys. 1Us on the bottom row forces me to either contort my thumb or even worse, use my fingers for the bottom row.

The problem is that they did not build battery factories quick enough, they sat on their hands waiting for massive hand outs to pay for the factories rather than investing. All while profiting off existing investment in ICE that is high return at this point in its life cycle. So they ended up making more profitable per unit halo models like the F150 that they do not need to sell in high volumes to get a return on.

Batteries are about half the raw cost of an EV, if you paying somebody else to make it for you its going to be more expensive as they will want to make a profit and you are stuck being able to buy ever how many they want to sell you. In practice they have ended up funding a competitor to develop battery tech as well.

Lowering battery cost is the secret to cheap prices, you cannot truly compete until you make your own batteries in high volumes.

Worth pointing out that the majority of tourists in Japan are in fact Japanese, at more than 80% of tourists. Next largest group are from Japans closest neighbors in East Asia. Its a minority of a minority that cause all the problems.

I was really fed up for him, it's not often he gets to be faster than Max pretty much all weekend, and he really needed a good weekend. He even stayed back out of trouble till the moment came to pounce with Charles and then it goes wrong.

He has either the worst luck or all the luck, rarely in-between

I'm only ever logging on because there's a problem, so i login infrequently, like may be every few months.

So i want want to see the os version as I have some downgraded on purpose, and that's helpful to see. I also want to see uptime, disk space, ip address, ram, and kernel version. These all help me understand basic issues if the box is rebooting or needs a reboot or it out of disk space very quickly.

Obviously, there are a million and one other ways to get this information, I could even stick them in my .zshrc to auto start on login as I've done with fastfetch, but why on earth would I do that when fastfetch works, takes less than a second to run on sign in, and looks pretty?

It's not like I am not launching a connection to them 100s of times a day.

Britain required former slaves to work for 2 years unpaid before they were free to go post abolition. Slave owners received £17bn in today's money in reparations.

Ya know that never occurred to me that would work, going to have to try it

I prefer fastfetch, but I have to compile it for my PIs as i couldn't find a precompile. This is painful for my zeros that I use for my automated watering system, so those have screenfetch. I find fastfetch faster for my options.

Completely get why some people don't like them, but I just love the ease of seeing all the stats I want when I login to one of my boxes I don't log into very often.

Always been a bloke in the pub or car boot or whatever that can supply hooky dvds or games or hacked satellite, FAST always talks tough about busting them.

Early eights it was disk and tape trading, mostly tape trading in the UK. Was a way more social activity.

Late 80s and early 90s, it was all disk, and you really needed a connected friend who could get the menu disks (custom pirated compilation disks). These were often super hoarded, only traded for a lot of games, like certain private trackers today.

Very early web stuff was all usenet and ftp servers, often hosted at a university. If you knew where to look, anything was accessible.

Early 2000s was a golden period of easy access. It would be slow, and the quality would often be low if it was a video or mp3. It's gotten harder to find the obscure stuff as time has gone on. I

t's like the scene only remembers out and out classics or the latest thing outside of some niche places.

He was also often very shit, Disney land Paris, for example, that was a huge fiscal drag for decades. A lot of the better stuff he is credited with was due to Wells influence or in spite of him.

Modern disney collapse is due to Chapek, and in particular, why the budget was cut for Star Cruise early in its development. Iger is far from perfect but better than Eisner and Chapek combined.

I have a few that will be very close as I decided a bit over a decade ago to limit myself to one rewatch a year of each to stop myself sucking all the joy out of them:

• Alien - my favorite survival horror
• Aliens - my favorite Nam movie
• Jaws - my favorite version of Moby Dick, although I really like Godzilla Minus One take on Jaws
• Jurassic Park - best big stompy monster film for me
• Lord of the Rings - this is always over Christmas. Its not faithful enough for me to the books but it still manages to be an outstanding Trilogy.
• Emperors New Groove - favorite body swap film

Most days it's two 18g of espresso, one 25g made into a pour over. I go through about 2kg a month (about 4.5lbs) with dialling in and some shots for other people.

I spend anywhere from £60 per kilo down to about £30, depending on where and from whom I am buying. My local roasters (Outpost.coffee) tend to be more expensive than some of the other big names in the UK.

Depending on what's available, I either get a single bag for espresso and a bag for pour over or a bunch of different bags, anything up to 8 typically.

I am not confident that we will see as widespread competition as we have this season, as the PU is completely changing and the aero is being tweaked. I am to worried we will see one team to develop the PU with a massive advantage again, but I hope not.

March 25 is a little late if the concept for 26 is in a fundamental direction he thinks is crap, its like not impossible but they would be unlikely to hit the first race with a class leading car. I guess Aston could save up budget, wind tunnel time, and super computer runs until he starts then try and run faster than everyone else. One things for sure, going to be exciting to see the order in 26 as this is now going to be a major shake up.

They aren't going to put those toys back in the box, they just love using them too much and don't understand how that Pandoras box removes all stakes from their films. I was done being invested with MCU once it became clear was a fucking time heist cop.out to the problem of Thanos winning Infinity War and killing half the cast.

Let's say Newey develops another class leading car, same sort of advantage over the rest of the field as his best, does Senior implement team orders to benefit Junior so he can win the title? Or even worse, does he bring someone like Mazspin in who Lance cab beat, Lance isn't good, but hes way better than Mazspin. Or do we see a worse mauling than Checo vs. Max? Or Lewis vs. Hekki?

Its a cliche but they also promise easy answers to hard questions, blame others for problems they caused themselves or at least did nothing to get out of. The old tell 'em what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear.
