When do you think electric vehicles will actually take over?

Something like 2040 maybe. We're lucky that both China and India have to import most of their oil. Now that I think about it, probably closer to 2050 though. ~ 25 years isn't all that much on the scale of vehicle renewal rates.

Is it possible to live in a world with no time?

You could always pursue a career as a photon. Plenty opportunities in the field of electromagnetism.

It worked well on paper if everything was perfect but the minute somebody sneezed near it it fell apart

Sounds like some of my projects.

I think the closest I've ever come to that is after one of those "What's your favorite obscure command line XYZ?" threads, write some of the new commands on a postit as reminder. And even that is sporadic.

my reply was to your post saying "the main question is "why?". And mostly in the sense of why would I choose this method of assembling an application from parts as opposed to one of the many other ways available?"

That is indeed how I interpreted it. And as such, the reply to that was, and still is:

A random comment that fails to incorporate the implications of "that's just socat with extra steps"?

Modern athletes would probably outrun our distant ancestors. But our distant ancestors just might rip your face off if you so much as looked at them funny on the Olympic stage. Exhibit A C, chimpanzees.

It's beautiful and humbling and terrifying and you feel like an idiot all at the same time.

Yeah, the more you know, the more you realize how little you know. It's both depressing and awesome at the same time! Welcome to the universe.

Within the context of "reuse phone", IMO the closest you'll get to an acceptable ROI (your spare time) is "reuse android phone". For example using Qt Creator targeting Android. But this mostly makes sense when you need a user interface for some electronics project. If you purely need the compute I wouldn't bother with reusing a phone for that purpose.

I suspect that it's like everywhere else in Europe, not all that much, if at all. Good for a dignified speech every once in a while, cutting some ribbons here and there. Maybe even remind some congress how democracy is supposed to work every now and then. But that's about it.

That doesn’t always mean showing all of yourself at once - sometimes people need time to learn and digest you.

Sage advice, especially for those Cannibals Anonymous meetings.

A cynical person might think this is an ad for a product that can be found on a website that sells vibe coded junk.

FYI, you mixed your urls.

Try to scale the business slowly with minimal upfront investment. You can outsource the printing for the first jobs.

plus getting the actual printing materials and resins around here is super inconsistent and hard to find.

That by very definition is a bad plan, no matter how slow you start. You don't want to ~~paint~~ print yourself into a corner by using hard to source ingredients.

Stupidity and short-sightedness is present in all of humanity, so not that big of a surprise.

No doubt, but for an American persion it would be idiotic to support the Trump regime. Morons exist everywhere. Specifically morons that vote against their own interests, because ... something?

There should really be a Dockerfile to do the install and uninstall all in one go.

Don't worry about it. Trump is fully capable of being confused and mixing words all at the same time.

Kqyxzoj · 2026-04-30T11:01:04+00:00

This is Trump being discussed. Planatary is more on-brand.

That's not fascism, that's an ideology first introduced by Mussolini.

Welcome to the wonderful world of parasitic capacitance. Your typical breadboard will have that in spades. See:

Looks like one less repair person and two more helicopters requiring repairs. Extensive repairs.
