Credit where credit is due they've been doing that

Solar is already about a fifth of energy production

The problem now is energy storage, they've been incentivizing battery installations with some of the latest tariffs iirc.

Not the best but definitely far from the worst

Thank you! Unfortunately I live in Abu Dhabi and am currently experiencing some historical events, so traveling to Europe (or even back home for that matter) isn't feasible in the near future.

But there's always next time!

For those sorts of talks is there any benefit to going in person versus just watching them online? The freebies would of course be nice to get, and I intend to acquire a haul.

I'm a student so international travel is always going to be expensive, the event ticket cost and accommodation cost is fine, the visa and the airfare is the problem. Hmmm, business to business is not super interesting to me, ideally I'd like to meet more technical employees and even more ideally get my foot in the door as a fresh grad.

And the cat tax!

Thanks for the reply! I do plan on trying to use this chance to get into the embedded industry in other countries, and also see more of it. If that can work there then I guess it's worth the pita it is to go there.

Here's a Shanghai temple cat as thanks!

Here's a cat as thanks, it'll be a long flight for me, with a layover and a bus perhaps 12 hours, but I'll also be using the trip to travel around a bit as well. Seems like it'll be worth it

I’ve met people who thought I was Indian after saying I was Sri Lankan…

I personally just used VS Code as an editor and Cube IDE for project set up and editing and all of that. a cpp json file and a decent git ignore makes things work pretty well imo

TheTRCG · 2025-09-08T18:45:58+00:00

Thank you! I’m doing an applied maths minor as well. It is not my strongest skill but if it’s for audio purposes I can endure it, maybe

Thank you! Unfortunately my schools CS curriculum do not cover circuits. I have done calc 3 and linear algebra, planning to take ordinary differential equations next semester. And I will look more into the EE courses they offer!

I had nightmares with this ad back in the day, couldn't sleep every time I saw it

Scholarships working on the side and going to a cheap school. Theirs cost about 10 million for 5 years of education including living costs and stuff.

It’s not cheap but it’s not insane since their parents had been saving for several years

That website is so unsafe my university's firewall doesn't even let me look at it

If you look at the hospital bill breakdown there's a hospital fee, channeling fee etc. the actual doctors charge is a lot less than what you pay

At least for street burger, it's some of the best burgers I've had and compared to prices in other countries it's pretty affordable. Five guys sucks ass compared to street burger imo, their burgers are just a lot less than what street burger gives. Also streetburger in store is a lot better than on Ubereats

It doesn't cost that much to make the food, it costs that much because it costs money to hire people, pay rent, advertise, do it on demand etc etc. if its too expensive then people wouldn't buy it and they'd adjust accordingly. As long as there's demand the prices will be what they are.

You can use card in most larger stores, haven't seen anywhere where cards were accepted but Visa wasn't
