Streets ahead

Headphones are great but they aren’t speakers

I’m not saying that a giant pipeline would be preferable, but cooling LNG to cryogenic temperatures and keeping it there for the entire voyage is very energy intensive, not to mention the fuel costs of a carrier vessel. I am against gas exploration and transporting in general and in all its forms. It should not be considered a ‘necessary’ evil and it should certainly not see further investment in my opinion.

Also conveniently forgetting that shipping methane across an ocean is extremely polluting and inefficient

Water flosser works great for me personally

Last time I canceled it it was very easy to do (amazon.ca)

It’s easier that some think, but it is not easy. Of course it is more convenient to just keep using the thing you are already using, and no one is saying that clicking one button and getting a package the next day can’t be a time save, just that it is not impossible or extremely difficult to stop using the service.

And retail businesses with physical locations definitely don’t do the exact same thing as Amazon, given that you can go to the store to get your item as opposed to needing it delivered.

Having lived in both, Canadian healthcare >>> American healthcare. Walking out of a hospital after they saved your life with a bill of $0 is very nice in my experience.

The issue with wanting a bigger battery is that many high end laptops already have the largest capacity that you can take on an aircraft in NA/EU (100 Wh)

In my personal experience it has been getting consistently worse over the last 6 or so years. It used to be nearly perfect but now it is somewhat common that the directions will be wrong or misleading

I think Brave is one of the few somewhat common browser/search companies that is worse than Google

Revanced works just fine still

Them even having the ability to read the contents of your personal files is just so wrong to me, though I guess they never promised privacy.

Ventoy is very useful for diagnostics too

Companies only really have one reason to prevent their customers from taking them to court: they intend to break the law or otherwise harm their customers.

It’s bad enough that it’s funny again for me

Textadept is also pretty cool, it’s portable and FOSS unlike Notepad++

They attempted to relight the booster, but only 1 of the 13 engines they wanted on actually started (2 others almost started but immediately failed). Their hope was to demonstrate in-space relight of the second stage engines, which is obviously a crucial demonstration for HLS and eventually going to the moon, but they never went for it. So far they have never demonstrated Raptor start in a vacuum and microgravity, which is a significantly different challenge to firing on the ground or even during re-entry as was the case for the booster due to propellant slosh and ullage considerations. In fact, we have seen them struggle with these issues in the earlier Starship solo tests, where the engines upon relight would eat backfill helium and eventually switch over to an engine-rich cycle :D. I’m sure they will figure it out but in space Raptor relights are far from the ‘same’ as what they have already done.

“Atom” is one step further beyond
