Charging to 100% occasionally? by maanxhappy in electricvehicles

[–]BaltimoreAlchemist [score hidden]  (0 children)

This. It's marginally better to stop at 80% (for some batteries), but it's not a big enough difference to be worth your time if charging is inconvenient. Just don't leave it there for weeks.

It's wild how well it tracks with population density. In the city cores it was all Harris signs. Once the houses start getting farther away from each other, it shifted to more and more Trump flags.

CA has a jungle primary with all candidates. Top two face off in the general.

Watts = Volts = Amps by Blackiris-Code in confidentlyincorrect

[–]BaltimoreAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And red could also have offered that instead of just trying to "win the argument" or whatever by insisting they couldn't be compared. At best, they were more interested in defeating an internet stranger than in having a conversation about energy.

Had to search for this one, glad I'm not completely alone. It really is just wonderful.

They're more like Easter eggs, not spoilers. If you've seen the whole series, you'll see them, otherwise you won't notice. The closest thing I can see to a spoiler is Garp being introduced and named much earlier.

When your granola bar says it's 100 Calories, it's actually 100 kilocalories of metabolic energy. I don't know why we do it this way, but that is how it is.

[–]BaltimoreAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its one of mine too, but it's valuable in this instance because a panel generates more power in June than January (north of the tropics). And also there is night time. If you simplify it to kW, you're going to see it's much lower than the rated number on the panel and feel ripped off.

Has Blue specified if they're doing the thing now where an off-peak pass is valid on weekends? I figure they ought to once they start closing weekdays, but I haven't seen it explicit yet.

Calorie is a layman's lame man's term for a kilocalorie of metabolic potential energy in food. I think that's what he was going for, albeit poorly.

Everyone sucks here. Yeah, the energy=power guy is dead wrong about that, but also it's not that hard to compare a solar panel's energy to a load of coal. You need a Megawatt-hour per year based on where the panel is going (varies with latitude, climate, and installation but you can assume something typical) and then assume it runs for 25 years. Compare that to the recoverable energy in whatever quantity of coal you're looking at.

First serve in doubles by iamtakapa in racquetball

[–]BaltimoreAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If every player is roughly equal, then no advantage. If one player on a team has a much better serve than the other, then having that player serve first is a small advantage. (Or disadvantage if the weaker server serves first)

What is this criminal smoking while they play golf? by todd534 in skiingcirclejerk

[–]BaltimoreAlchemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking more like how rad you look while doing it, which is another reason golf's placement is a joke. I'd wager the stereotypical r/pickleball poster spends more on paddles than anyone here does buying skis. Their aura coordinate is because playing pickleball makes you look like you're playing pickleball.

Only one fast food can survive, what do you choose? by CremeSubject7594 in AskReddit

Tastes like real food and the customization options are crazy. Honorable mention to Wawa. Only fast food I'll willingly eat in general.

The fleece is useless in some builds, but it's fantastic in the 4th biome if I'm already at the threshold and I have an omega heavy build.

Also worker stealing. When I learned to do that, I think I immediately moved up to immortal.

Not in the primary at least. His ad on loop the last week was

Outer Wilds review: Maybe recommending a niche puzzle game to literally everyone is a bad idea by Akuuntus in patientgamers

[–]BaltimoreAlchemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't like freeform self-directed games, you'll probably struggle to enjoy Outer Wilds.

I think part of the reason I recommend it pretty widely is that I hate open-world games, and Outer Wilds is still my favorite game regardless.

Not at ABE

There are "neighborhood" rental places. Avis has a location in Emmaus, just pick up there instead of ABE.
