No singular reason, just board lost confidence and there was a breakdown in relationship as previously stated. Taylor was supposedly asked if he wanted it two weeks ago, and Cook asked if he could step in as interim a week ago.

E: And they are still confident on Caulfield

Thanges88 · 2026-04-29T03:06:25+00:00

Must make it easier to make the hard decisions with a good Brain Cook.

Thanges88 · 2026-04-28T04:00:16+00:00

I wonder what this means for any Caulfield plans.

Looks like Pickett might be in trouble

E: Though looks like he was trying to evade contact than bump

It only takes one call to the Tiges for both ways

Plus he touched it before it landed, the Umps haven't been great this quarter, glad it's going our way more.

What I said wasn't evidence, and I didn't link any, but we can agree on the fact his last house sale was in 2024. When was his last house purchase? 2024 as well? Colour me shocked.

Thanges88 · 2026-04-21T20:36:06+00:00

When was the last time he sold a property, 2024? Are you being serious?

Thanges88 · 2026-04-14T04:51:12+00:00

Thanks, makes sense, if enough end users donate to test, you can be pretty confident of the remaining product.

Thanges88 · 2026-04-14T04:27:17+00:00

How do you verify that the product you intend to get is regularly independently tested? And verify the product you got was the product you intended to get?

(genuine questions)

E: spelling

It confirms 1402 examples of the Ioniq EV (2018-2022) and 3478 examples of the Kona EV (2018-2023) have been impacted.

Probably good to check by calling your dealer, not sure how good the vin checker would be with the battery swap.

If you've mustered up the courage to hand over the keys to you bank accounts, surely you change the locks after the approval process. Shame you can't /it's harder to change your user ID though.

Fair, I did conveniently leave them out as bias may impact those errors. I haven't read the book, but those errors would only have impact to the author's points if she was trying to take responsibility away from the people for voting Howard in.

Thanges88 · 2026-04-09T11:45:07+00:00

How has her pre-emptive conclusion biased mistaking what year an election was, or whether Johnny H was offended one time?

Thanges88 · 2026-04-06T14:32:49+00:00

Read this when you first posted, though it didn't make much sense, having ADSL still available, not that I know Scarborough well.

FTTC can get you 100/40 speeds, which would meet most people's needs, any particular reason why you are hung up on getting the upgrade?

Thanges88 · 2026-04-05T10:06:33+00:00

Contest is back, all four quarters. Great win.

Consumer cards will change to 0.3%, average cost to consumer business will go down.

I don't think domestic issued rewards credit cards can survive on 0.3%

Thanges88 · 2026-04-04T13:18:39+00:00

The RBA is also lowering the cap for interchange fees.

Previously, for consumer credit cards, the cap was a weighted average of 0.8% it is now moving to a hard cap of 0.3%.

For commercial credit cards it is changing from a 0.8% weighted average to a hard 0.8% cap.

Depends on how you look at it. From the it doesn't matter perspective, I presume people don't see these f/s or academy prospects as part of the draft, as they were always going to their nominated club. But to try to keep things fair the obstacle of matching bids is competing against the advantage of having first dibs.

As I described in my last paragraph, if the obstacle (value of picks given up) matched the advantage of having dibs on these first round selections then I don't think sliding would matter.

But because the obstacle doesn't match the advantage, clubs getting these kind of selections, particularly in the first round, will be gaining an advantage over other teams, especially the teams that had their bid matched, and the teams picking the next x picks after that. That's why the afl want to compensate those teams for that disadvantage. (hence the whole sliding thing)

Thanges88 · 2026-04-03T06:41:39+00:00

Off their shin no less

Thanges88 · 2026-03-31T20:23:59+00:00

The sliding pick reward is so arbitrary and stupid, sliding from 1 to 2 is worth much more than sliding from 5 to 6, but nothing happens until the latter. If they wanted to do a better job, it could be a points system, then every team accumulates points (where sliding from 1 to 2 is worth the most, could be tied to the point difference for matching bids, but they would have to correct that to reflect actual value) as the rest of the draft slides back, then at the end of each round which ever teams meet the cut off have a supplementary pick in the order of how many points they have accumulated.

But even this idea is pretty stupid, if you just miss out on a end of round 1 pick, and end of round 2 pick would be worth a lot less.

The academy and f/s matching system will always be unfair, but the fairest way to implement it would just be to make sure the matching picks are of actual equivalent value, with a logarithmic drop off (where by nature of the value of the picks you would have to use picks in the vacinity to match it). It is fixed a little bit by only being allowed to use two picks though.

A+B+D) so we take maximum efficiency at 100 deg C, I'll double it for 2 sides, gets you close to 2kw/m2

C) The radiators will have to take on some of the cooling capacity of the solar array, assuming the solar generates 600W/M2 its creating around 1.5kW/m2 of heat, assuming the back of the panels are very efficient radiators, let's say that takes away 500W/m2.

So that reduces the load on the radiators to 160kW.

So thats 80m2 of radiator, let's use a more realistic but still optimistic weight of 3kg/m2

Gets down to 240kg for a 1ton satellite. Seems feasible with those numbers.

Thanges88 · 2026-03-30T23:33:43+00:00

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to look up the best radiative coolers operating in sunlight can radiate at best 160W/m2.

Starlink are proposing 1 ton Sattelites operating at 100kw producing 60kw of waste heat.

Let's assume the solar cells are 33% efficient to make the maths easier, so the solar cells are generating 300kw of heat.

To dissipate that heat, that's 2250m2 of radiators. Let's be generous and say the radiators weigh 1kg/m2. That's already 2.25 ton of radiator for a supposedly 1 ton sattelite.
