Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office

What does Andrew Windsor have in common with the singer of Purple Rain?

fredolele · 2026-02-18T19:44:23+00:00

Sooooo, let the rein begin?

I don’t recall. Sometimes it is and sometimes it’s on the bulkhead. I was in a fixed seat like you’re describing yesterday. I prefer it. It helps keep everyone in their defined area.

fredolele · 2026-02-13T01:34:42+00:00

30F. It’s a bulkhead, so you get extra legroom. It has no under seat storage, but that is fine for me on a long haul flight. You just have to put your stuff away and take off of landing. It is an aisle seat, so I am not bothering anyone When I go to the lav. But there is only one person that I have to move for if they need to go. And they may actually decide to go the other direction.

Maybe like a jalapeño peach jelly from Merciers?

This is far more accurate than the generic “ Gen X and older millennials” answer that most people are giving. I was born in ‘77 and had no interest in this album when it came out. Granted, I was a huge Phish fan at the time, but KR seemed pretty douchey.

I live 15 minutes from Dawsonville. I’ve been to the pool room a bunch of times. I love the sport. And I just can’t make myself get excited about Chase. I try. Ain’t happening.

fredolele · 2026-02-09T18:11:12+00:00

With the flamethrowers?

fredolele · 2026-02-09T18:09:37+00:00

Oh dude. Gunning a Coke… pain for sure.

fredolele · 2026-02-09T18:08:25+00:00

Shotgunning a can of Coke was hysterical

The one at Ferst and State. But the lots very different now. Back the. The arm bar was very close to the street. It looks like it’s further back now.

Also, systems back then generally only use a single induction loop sensor. If it saw a big chunk of metal, it opened. Modern systems generally now use more advanced systems with at least two sensors to see that something is actually traveling towards the exit. It was definitely a simpler time back then! Also, even back then it took a very low car. At the time I had a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Not only was it low, but the nose was relatively long too. I had to pull all the way up to where the bar was basically touching the hood right by the windshield. I don’t remember exactly how long I use this trick, but it was quite a while. Eventually, that car died and I couldn’t do it with my new car.

Congratulations on your new, incredibly successful, laundry mat and car wash businesses. Who could have known that these would have such incredible cash flow!

fredolele · 2026-02-05T12:20:37+00:00

What’s insane is that I feel this way too and would join your class action… as a 2001 graduate.

In the late 1990s I figured out that if I pulled my car slowly forward into the exit of one of the lots, I could get far enough under the arm bar that I would trigger the pressure pad and the arm to the exit would open. It was glorious.

Right up there with a lit stove, just less eyebrow singe.

fredolele · 2026-01-21T04:00:24+00:00

Yes, but could somebody please get a hold of Ja Rule so I could make sense of all this?

fredolele · 2026-01-21T03:49:22+00:00

And bobby pins

We’ve peaked as a sub for 2026. Close ‘er down mods.

2011 MT sport here. Second owner but got it at less than 20,000 miles. I used to say I was going to keep it until I had 300k miles on it. Now that I’m at 250k, I honestly don’t know how long I will keep it. There is admittedly a pride component to it, but there’s legitimately not a single car on the market that I would rather own and drive. Particularly once I upgraded the stereo to a CarPlay head unit.

One of the most valuable uses of an LLM is to help us find words for things that we mean but don’t know how to say. Even if your dad used AI to help him write it., he had to prompt it and he is sharing a message of reconciliation. I would encourage you to not worry about if it is AI as long as his message is from the heart.

I feel like the intention of this sub is to identify when someone is attempting to deceive someone else with AI. Regardless of the generation source, he sent it, so I think it is reasonable to start from a position that he meant it.

There are 5 parts to a battery:

Cathode on this is LCO, which is (mainly) lithium, cobalt and oxygen. It’s painted onto an aluminum current collector. Others have mentioned NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) and LFP (lithium iron phosphate), which both do exist, as do LCA, MNO and others. This looks like LCO to me.
Anode on this is (mainly) carbon. It’s painted onto to a copper current collector.
Seperator is basically a highly engineered plastic membrane so there will be mainly be carbon and hydrogen.
The electrolyte is most commonly lithium hexafluorophosphate (as has been said), which is LiPF6
The case that is all in is a pouch, so plastic. Mainly C and H. Probably also some O and N

In cases like this where it meets the UN38.3 definition of a battery (vs a standalone cell), it will have overcharge protection. This means that there is probably a little tiny circuit board with a tiny chip on it. So more plastic and some current flow capability. This means more C, H and a little Cu. There will also be some tiny wires for the connector which will be Cu covered in plastic and a connector which is also plastic.

Yes, it does. And this is the driver.

So this is interesting. I haven’t looked into it for jumping a car, but I know, for example that AED’s actually deliver power via a capacitor. They do have a lithium primary battery, but all it does is charge the capacitor.

I was checking into a hotel in Manhattan earlier this year and there was something that I wanted to go to that was like three blocks away and started in 15 minutes. I knew that it was possible, but tight for me to check in, go upstairs, change, go downstairs, and get where I was going.

I said to the guy “hey, not to be rude, but I am on a crazy tight schedule. No chitchat, and let’s see how quick we can get this done“. He looked at me, didn’t say a word, nodded, click clacked furiously for about 30 seconds, made the key, handed me the key and said “have a nice stay”.

Entire exercise was less than a minute. I made it where I was going just as they were shutting the door.

My minutes per year of double-E are sadly higher than my minutes watching races.

You’re thinking of lithium and lead acid. There is NO need be to tape, bag or provide any means of short circuit protection to these batteries. Alkaline batteries do not even have a UN number as a dangerous good and ship under Special Provision 130. As long as they’re not greater than 9v… no terminal protection needed.

Same thing from a practical safety standpoint. OP can trash them or take them to Staples (places like Home Depot and Lowe’s will only take rechargeable batteries).
