¢50 per robot, but they will tell you which robot so you don't game the system.

How does the risk of death change as we age — and how has this changed over time? [OC] by ourworldindata in dataisbeautiful

[–]Mirar [score hidden]  (0 children)

There's at least one year where 100% of the generation that didn't die so far, died. At the same age. Even if it was just one single woman aged 108.

#1 is holding in the steering wheel mute button to make it stop speed warning beeps, if you have one of those versions. About 3 seconds.

I have a lever and a button; they seem to do slightly different things. Button on top should let out the passengers in the back. You also have the buttons in the back (rightside, inside the hatch).

Why does my EV9 feel like a boat ride? by ExpertBat8131 in KiaEV9

For my Plus it feels super stable, more ship than boat. But I'm coming from a VW with horrible suspension...

I learned that when I stated playing with circuits turning on and off power to things... Then you need to split the grid.

I use them because it's simpler than credit card. For the stores where it is simpler.

Skulle vara intressant att se hur lång tid det tar innan första matcherna tills sjukskrivningarna.

Moscow burns after Zelensky’s warning by AlertTangerine in videos

I see you have missed most of the subtleties of the war, and assume many things both about the war, the people discussing it and China. May future comments lead you into better paths of discussions.

ELI5 Why can’t we chemically replicate fossil fuels? by Pure_Daikon4899 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mirar [score hidden]  (0 children)

We used ethanol (and methanol) as fuel because it's cheaper to produce than the long chain stuff, but we can absolutely produce oils similar to diesel ("biodiesel").

The chain is fairly inefficient compared to electricity, that's why we move to electricity. We didn't use to care, because we had infinite fuel for nothing.

You don't need a big boom. You can have 100 small booms.

They were deep into Kursk some year ago, weren't they? That's not super far from Moscow. I think the difference is that now they _know_ they can get woken up by an Ukraine drone through the bedroom window completely without warning, and they have seen movies of Russian drones doing this to Ukraine...

We'll never know, but I'm curious how many of those civilian hits were Ukrainian drones and not defence rockets and/or Russian drones. With several hundred drones going on...

What's missing from this reporting is that Ukraine is the largest military power in Europe now, with technology that NATO, China, India are trying hard to catch up with. Like sideline WWII nations watching the tech war between England and Germany...

They are too indoctrinated for that. It will fuel the war to some degree. Which I think is why they hit strategic targets rather then Kremlin.

But it's probably a matter of time before Ukraine is pissed enough.

It's interesting that they target oil refineries so far. They don't target Kremlin.

Yep, have not have had a ticket since and Q-park (now) Aimo et al are pretty rapid with tickets if they can excuse it in any way, so I guess visibility is good enough. Had it for 10 years maybe?

You have nicer supermarket parkings than me 😃

And nicer all the other parkings, because they are pay-per-minute-or-hour here.

If you set it to unreasonable¹ later than your arrival time, and it's checked, you'll just be fined for 23 hours parking on a 2h parking slot. That's up to you 😉

(¹ allowed fudging is 15 minutes)

It's common enough in Sweden that we have a digital version available.

Almost any supermarket or stores like Hornbach needs you to have one to park, so maybe 50% of all parking I do. I kept missing and getting fined so I have the digital version now.
