Agreed. My current setup uses a DAC cable between the switch and my firewall.

The dual 10gbps ports almost make it worth the price.

As a Christian, my objection to the American Christians is not that they are exuberant. I have a much larger problem with the the culture war. It seems to me that much of the church has become more like the people that Jesus yelled at rather than the early church.

I used an AI tool to cover for my lack of artistic skills, but this is what comes to mind whenever I think of NAFO.

Maybe someone with better skill can make this look better.

Up here (Montreal) many of the malls have wemm maintained superchargers. Plus we have slower(much cheaper) overnight street chargers.

He couldn't charge at home. If I had to guess, I bet he doesn't mind being alone for breakfast but wants to spend dinner with his family.

I don't know where you get expensive from. The batteries are 95% recyclable.

The largest shift will be when it finally clicks that you don't need to stand next to an EV when it charges. In the time it takes for a reasonably fast charge, you can grab a bite to eat, use the toilet etc.

I met an Uber driver who plugs in then has breakfast each morning before starting his day

Wrong. The newer battery chemistries eliminate cobalt and battery recycling is a solved problem.

Vancouver had this in the late 90s for their busses. Big fanfare when it rolled out but it didn't stick.

Much less often, and fire departments have figured out how to put out ev fires. It takes a bit of training but the procedure is: cover with a fire blanket and let the car cool off, then use a thermal camera to find the battery hotspot and hit it with a water cutter.

On the plus side, he could learn how to calculate the odds of success of living a life of petty crime vs having a good job.

If that belief is that "sex with minors is OK". I refuse to have tolerance for it.

Not just Ukraine, there are many projects around the world to come up with a workable product.

I've seen some laser based anti done systems that show some promise. I wish they would come faster.

Yeah, i have to take breaks sometimes for my mental health as well.

But for the moment I can push back against the propaganda about Ukraine and also lately my own country.

Conversations here are more pleasant, but misinformation there needs fighting so I'm in both places.

You will lose out on some advanced features and word still seems to handle huge documents better.

95% of users won't notice.

I'm really curious how long the war can last before the Russian economy craters given the current price of oil.

Agreed, but I was just thinking about how this would make a good clock but then started to worry about the signal going away

I wonder how much longer TV stations will even be transmitting. I can see a day when TV is just a historical idea.
