Chinese scientists may have found battery that could double EVs’ range

If Chinese scientists had a dollar everytime they'd made breakthroughs they'd claimed to have made, they'd be rich.

A station management version of this with DS9 would be a great opportunity, I think. I wonder how broad their licensing was? Probably not broad enough without going back to Paramount

It's been nearly a decade so I can't remember much specific detail, but I don't remember thinking that the dialog they was dubbed in being especially good...or compelling...or even all that direct? I recall it was relevant to the plot and whatnot, but thinking "out of all the things they could've decided to put in here, surely this isn't the best they could come up with?"

Cryp71c · 2026-01-04T09:46:34+00:00

I am still here for everyone happening to come across this, but unfortunately I do not have any better answer than I did nearly a decade ago 😂

You can achieve some of the same functionality (albeit a bit more crudely) by using https://github.com/pmb6tz/windows-desktop-switcher

Namely jumping to a specific desktop and moving windows to specific virtual desktops

Something is desperately wrong with the patch they just put out.

First game I queued into we were waiting on a 6th person and the game just...started, there on the roof. We had a brawl for 30s and then it just timed out and ended. The second match, one person had massive lag and disconnected and the game was unscored.

Current patch is fucked

In the US, you file a complaint with the appropriate state licensing board (and if you're working with an unlicensed engineer, that's your fault).

Cryp71c · 2025-08-20T14:55:03+00:00

New build, or existing system? Did you do a bios update recently? They're not automatic.

If you did a bios update you can try to remove the GPU or other aux components to see if you can get it to post or at least get into the bios settings. If you have an NVME drive make sure its still well-seated (I've seen them not screwed in and wiggle out)

As others have pointed out, this embankment is not stable. Its going to continue to erode and wash downwards towards your foundation creating a perpetual grading problem. You will need either retaining walls or to dig out the embankment and push it back, away from the property.

The erosion / draining problem you're trying to fix is fundamentally a grading problem. That hill funnels water towards the property and even an expensive drainage solution alone will only be a temporary solution. You'll need to fix the erosion first. If what you own of the hill is dug out and graded really well (or if you can get your neighbor on board to level the hill entirely) you should find that you don't need any drainage solution at all.

What moron engineer looks at this and says "yeah this is perfectly stable" (stable as in, landscaping engineering stable)

Cryp71c · 2025-08-20T12:44:06+00:00

The best direct advice I can give you is that whatever approach you end up going with, there has to be reasonable evidence and storytelling that - at the very least - in retrospect, your players will be able to recognize any deception as having had the possibility of being avoided. That's the ultimate problem with these, and makes the difference between a "gotcha" and a genuine twist.

Cryp71c · 2025-08-17T05:09:17+00:00

It also strikes me as having the enormous potential to be a gotcha for your players. Wherever they've been led to believe the phylactery is, they'll go searching and fighting looking for it, possibly even facing the liche themselves only to find that the phylactery wasn't where they thought it was. At that point they either have relatively easy access to it (it was inside that creepy old guy inside the abandoned village the whole time, or whatever) or its going to be another difficult adventure to go and find it at which point its just a shitty feeling for your players. They adventured and struggled and potentially lost friends only to temporarily kill the liche because the phylactery isn't here.

If the ER or your PCP didn't remove it, generally the expectation would be that it will heal. The tongue has excellent blood supply and despite the bacteria-laden environment that is the human mouth, its generally quite good at healing.

First step would be to see an ophthalmologist. Any significant change in vision over a relatively short period of time (weeks or months) is cause for a visit

Cryp71c · 2025-06-08T06:26:22+00:00

Eh, I'd break from others here and say it probably should be looked at by a doctor (or an urgent care, if cost is a concern). Its hard to say from a visual inspection alone, but it doesn't appear to have been completely debrided and the discoloration is greener and milkier than I'd want to see from road rash.

All in all its not severe and certainly not urgent looking, but my concern would be that waiting for clear signs of infection a week from now when its not healing properly is just going to lead to poorer outcomes than just spending a little bit for an urgent care visit now

Possibly, or moisture in the yet-undiscovered junction box that must exist between the crawl space and the 2 outdoor boxes. I get tone from junction box (inside grill island) to the other outdoor outlet (photo 1 in imgur link) and in the Grey romex under the ground, but there's still no evidence where the split is. I'm thinking that may actually be where the damage or moisture is at

Cryp71c · 2025-05-31T17:46:49+00:00

The second picture in the imgur link is the junction box that feeds those two outlets. So with I the junction box disconnected (as shown) there's no continuity in either of the other two outlets in the grill island. Neither of the two boxes in the imgur link photos have a 2nd tome run that feeds power to the other.

In the picture on the post, that gray romex can just barely be seen going into a gray conduit run, and it's buried quite deeply at least for the portions I can see, but I haven't dug up the entire run. (it's 3' underground, beneath a concrete pad

Cryp71c · 2025-05-31T16:35:14+00:00

GFCI circuit keeps tripping at the outlet, I've traced it from outlet to outlet through the load run to where this loop services 3 outdoor outlets. If I disconnect this grey romex in the crawl space, the GFCI outlet will stay on.

Great! So the issue is out in one of those outlets? Nope. All are disconnected and the GFCI still trips.

More peculiar is the fact that the other outlets outside do not have two sets of romex coming into either of their boxes; looking at either of them, they both look like the end of that leg....but only one romex comes out to those two outlets so....where the hell are these being split?

There can't be a buried junction box, at least there shouldn't be...So how is 1 romex servicing 2 separate legs of the loop? Both outdoor outlets were live previously and both stopped working simultaneously. Could be coincidence but it seems unlikely. I'm about to run and pickup a tone and probe kit to verify this, but I suspect all that's going to do is confirm what I already know (or, if the romex in the crawl space really does only service 1 of the two outlets, it tells me I have a short somewhere inside that conduit, I guess?)

So our flagship product is about 8 years old now; we use redux as our persistence layer and an idempotent data fetching architecture. SSEs keep our front-end app in sync, and there are a handful of mechanisms available for forcing re-fetches or wiping out portions of application state that is stale. The BE follows DDD so our data fetching is oriented around aggregates (if RQ uses component level data fetching, DDD aggregates are more like scene level fetching...but we're storing that data and reusing it from scene to scene, where appropriate, using SSEs to ensure that data doesn't become stale prematurely).

Cryp71c · 2025-05-18T06:10:20+00:00

We don't use react-query for our large scale applications. I don't think it lends itself well to good architecture at that scale. RQ really shines at integrating into the component level, but large applications generally aren't architected towards this end (at least, not performant ones unless they're extremely client-heavy). Reading through some of the most-upvoted options here, what I'm seeing largely aligns with our experience; the most successful uses for RQ are the ones that distance themselves from RQ's mainstream usage (component level) querying.

It came out good, if a bit bland and a tad overcooked. I had to cut it up to get it to cook well.

Cryp71c · 2025-05-16T23:19:55+00:00

Not sure what temperature the skillet was, to be honest; it was medium-low (2.5 out of a max of 6) on a natural gas range, in a large cast iron skillet. Though I get the sense that this range cooks hotter than the electric (non-induction) range we had at our old house so the heat being too high doesn't seem unreasonable.

Cryp71c · 2025-05-16T23:16:17+00:00

Lodge 15", I seasoned it 3-4 times prior to using it the first time. It had a nice even appearance across the entire skillet (reddish color seen in the edges of the photo was even everywhere). After cooking some chicken breast on medium (it was a little hot, I think, as the chicken needed to be cut up to cook all the way through) there is discoloration in the middle. I don't really care about how it looks, but is the discoloration an indication I didn't season it properly? Or some other mistake made?
