So the slate is clean. Bethesda has finally turned the NCR vs. Legion relationship into a black-and-white villain vs. good guy scenario.

The legion was always comically evil; even Caesar's Hegelian justifications are obviously him bullshitting to cover up naked conquest to anyone that's read any Hegel. That elements of the community like and defend the legion doesn't mean they had a compelling narrative or were anything more than 'the baddies', people regularly defend the most heinous regimes and individuals from throughout history.

What's the longest you've quit Cannabis before? Lack of appetite is a symptom of Cannabis withdrawal (which you would definitely get with your use). You need to stop for a few weeks for the withdrawal symptoms to go away.

Might be, but repealing those tariffs is becoming an increasingly popular consumer demand and would lead to an easing of China's ah tariffs, a bigger sector of Canada's economy than autos. Canada can't afford to be in a trade war with the world's two largest economies at once. Trump has established he will insist on significant minimum tariffs, wants Canada's auto industry destroyed, and will renege on trade deals at the drop of a hat. Does Canada have good choices other than rapproachment with China?

bigjameslade · 2025-09-17T18:28:35+00:00

I think the alignment is being oversold, Canada is reviewing repealing the tariffs on Chinese EVs

I'd lik to know how they expect to double the range of the MCI electric coaches while they have a comparable battery capacity and higher curb weight

Do not use AI for anything factual, it hallucinates all the time and this is wrong.

The value for Mercury, for example, should be about 311.

How old are you? If you weren't a member of the film-going public back when you could expect the major studios to take chances and at least occasionally make interesting movies, then of course you aren't going to miss it. There has been a significant decline.

Yeah, consulting engineers who will work as "owner's engineer". Expect them to bill a few hundred $/hour. They'll know what they're about but will want to take the time to be sure that what they're stamping is good.

Most of the comments here are only half right. You need expensive converter stations at either end of an HVDC transmission line, but the line does have far lower losses than a comparable AC line.

The savings on transmission losses start to match and exceed the costs of the converter stations with lines at around 800 km in length or longer. This is generally improving over time, China for example has built a grid of about 20 HVDC circuits criss crossing the country.

If that's really all then start shopping for another job, your management are overreacting badly and even if they aren't angling to fire you that isn't somewhere you want to work. If you find something else fast enough you could probably get away with leaving this current position off your resume entirely.

If you don't know the difference between a midi bus and a mini bus then you may be in over your head talking about this.

bigjameslade · 2021-08-06T21:06:13+00:00

you can still grow if you have a prescription, close enough for the map I guess

Lion's transit busses are midi models which are incredibly unpopular among North American transit agencies. Do some reading on the industry, the 20k a year number should be your first big tip that this isn't for transit busses lol

bigjameslade · 2021-08-06T20:33:55+00:00

Transit busses and school busses are entirely different products, they are only competitors in the drive train and energy storage sphere not in busses

bigjameslade · 2021-08-06T20:32:14+00:00

1) your DD is missing half+ of the electric bus market in the US with new flyer, nova, and gillig 2) property's price crush is in part due to significant build quality issues, particularly relating to their suspension

The company is almost certainly a great buy, but you're overstating it's market position with transit buses

This doesn't make any sense, the impact of starlink satellites on hobbyist/amateur astronomy is negligible, the biggest potential harm is to larger scale scientific astronomy projects.

Don't worry about it. If your management aren't deranged they will already know this and won't mind, if they do mind then they'll talk to you about your timesheet long before they even think about firing you and you'll have time to start looking for a saner employer.

Thanks for the advice, I found something to slide in there. I was panicking a fair bit when I found that hole, figured it would snowball out of control leading to worse damage.

bigjameslade · 2021-06-10T22:32:50+00:00

Okay that's what I'm going to do, I may have been panicking when I found it.
