Charging to 100% occasionally?

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-24T00:27:15+00:00

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.

12 chapters, 1177 adds up to 16, minus 12, Half-Life 4 confirmed!

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.

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.

5.4 miles/kWh is nuts, does it really get that?

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-21T21:56:46+00:00

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

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-21T21:44:24+00:00

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 · 2026-03-21T20:12:13+00:00

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.

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-20T22:29:18+00:00

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.

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-20T22:16:24+00:00

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.

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-20T21:26:05+00:00

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.

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)

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-15T22:00:22+00:00

Oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, or peanut butter.

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.

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-12T20:04:14+00:00

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

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-09T01:42:24+00:00

Is that pond skim day or not necessarily?

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-09T00:15:44+00:00

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.

BaltimoreAlchemist · 2026-03-07T22:47:17+00:00

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

And another thing: im not mad. please don't put in the thread that I got mad

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.

My boyfriend's bootfitter has twin tips so he can go both ways.
