You could get an optional auxiliary fuel heater for some higher class cars that would provide heating separate from the engine (and might even have a remote control).
Great thing about EVs is that that's unnecessary and the spoils of a luxury car are basically standard issue.

ITYM publication ban on all reviewers who got caught out by these prompts.

Half of them are variations on "we put live voltage on the exposed parts of appliances and you better make sure you're not grounded before touching them" and I guess we should be thankful for modern regulations.

And stay away from the people who use 3 contact grounded to 2 contact plug converters.

Was it actually her hips that filed those taxes? No? Then this outrageous hip slander is entirely uncalled for.

The IBM 1401 is a vintage computer about the size of two refrigerators. It has dark gray panels with blue and chrome trim. In the upper left, a control panel has numerous lights and buttons. The large line printer is visible in the foreground. A tape drive with two reels of tape is in the background.

Last week, the vintage IBM 1401 computer at the Computer History Museum started behaving strangely: it wouldn't halt. More specifically, if you had two HALT instructions in a row, it would halt for the first, but when you continued, it crashed mysteriously. Here's how we fixed it.... 1/N

I remember there was a whole account dedicated to creating and posting these regularly, but I can't seem to find it here or on mastodon. Unless I misremember and I only followed it on Twitter.

All that was for UHF though, long haul airliners also have HF radios that can also tune in amateur radio bands. Some pilots who are also hams use that to make contacts sometimes when there's nothing else going on in the cockpit on long flights.

There's always other planes and ATC that could be listening, on the emergency frequency they definitely always do.

There's all kinds of radios used, some of them can do AM and be tuned to aviation frequencies (but most likely locked out of transmitting, because very illegal!).

But of course they'd have to happen to be listening in on that frequency by sheer luck.

Aviation radios are made for that purpose alone, they can't be tuned to anything else (without hardware modification).

Additionally they do straight AM which is uncommon in amateur radio. For analog voice usually SSB would be used.

The regulator acts essentially as a resistor that takes just the value needed to drop the voltage to the desired level. That is, it converts the excess to heat. Higher input voltage means more excess and therefore more heat. But the output is a fixed voltage.

In typical linear power supplies you have a (big and heavy) transformer and rectifier that generates a low voltage DC from line AC, followed by a linear voltage regulator that generates the desired target voltage from that.

There's of course a real reason not to continue using the CBM linear power supplies for their 8 bit computers: they didn't have protection circuits that would prevent a failing voltage regulator from potentially frying your computer.

So instead of 5 V, as the story goes, they now deliver 10% more and would be outside the specs. But no, that's not how voltage regulators in power supplies work. They regulate voltage. That's their one job.

Last weekend at #VCFe I once again encountered the meme that using original power supplies for your home computers of the 80s is bad because the line voltage was raised by 10% from 220 V to 240 V since then.

Pffft looks like someone isn't first rate recruitment material,*I've* been getting these for years!

The per item thing is "per postal item containing goods" as I read it. This would mean per package, right?

I mean, Ford predates Volkswagen so it's even originaler in that sense.

I thought the same at first glance, but it's definitely not. Neither the latitude nor longitude lines are straight.

But actually there's a lot more. Sometimes people say that Musk could just shut up and enjoy his money and people wouldn't hate and mock him. And that's literally how the majority of billionaires operate, they are rarely if ever in the news.

Just to keep in mind, there's many more than you expect.

Sure it doesn't matter as a percentage, but all their money has to come from somewhere and each one of them can have an outsized influence on politics and economy if they wish.

Like, everybody knows Musk and Bezos and some media mogul like Murdoch so there gotta be a few more idk?

Not undercutting your point, but to keep the true scale in mind you should know that the USA alone has over 800 billionaires.

You know, some CAPITAL deepening.

Switch joycons. They are bodies are fully blue and fully red, with accenting black buttons.

Star Trek TOS uniforms. They're red and blue shirts accented by black pants and undershirts.

Switch 2 Joycons. They're solid black, with a stripe of blue and red accenting them.

Deep Space 9 uniforms. They're mostly black with a stripe of blue and red accenting them.

Surely I'm not the only one getting this vibe from the Switch 2's joycons:

Spreadsheet programs historically localized function names together with the rest of the program.

Please tell me Google Sheets doesn't do that and reject English names...
