I’m guessing that answer was a reply to something else, because it makes absolutely no sense in this context.

It depends on the country I think? We have them too, but we don’t have road tolls. They’re used to monitor traffic and actual tracking if the police is looking for a specific licence plate in relation to a crime here.

You’re either a shitty LLM or you have difficulties with substance abuse like I do. If you’re the latter, please reach out to me again and we can have a private conversation about our journey to sobriety.

Uuh…what does that have to do with electricity prices??

Aw shit i misread that…we have >1$/kWh in peak (which is between 5-9pm) too often here during winter.

I live in Northern California where we pay literally the highest electricity prices in the entire planet

Bullshit…you’re not even the most expensive in the US. And for “planet reference” the average price ATM where i live (not US) is 40¢/kWh, and we’re not even the most expensive…

Edit: misread California as Carolina…my bad

Did you even read my original comment? As I said, drinking alcohol around children is perfectly fine and normal…needing it to enjoy it, like several people mention or hint at ITT, is a problem.

Have you? Because this attitude is something I only see from people that either don’t have kids or spend any significant amount of time interacting with children in their spare time.

And to answer your question, I have two kids of my own, neither of them require me to drink alcohol to enjoy their company.

I have had a few ads popup in it,

How is this not cause enough to instantly drop them!?

ITT: people who apparently despise spending time with their kids so much, that they need to drink to enjoy it.

like WTF people…it’s not an issue to have a glass of wine (or whatever) while spending time with your kids. But it’s a fucking problem that you don’t enjoy it without it.

They missed a great opportunity by not calling it Draudio/Drawdio…

Money is power/influence, that has always been the case. Not sure why you felt the need to put that in quotes as if it wasn’t universally applicable.

Yeah it’s pretty crazy…prices vary by the hour, and that was only the single most expensive hour in that period though, and it was way above normal. Normally it peaks around 0.35USD/kWh with normal daytime prices around 0.2USD/kWh and nighttime prices around 0.1USD/kWh.

My total electricity consumption in the 5-9pm period is only around 2kWh though, so despite high prices it’s not much money.

Hah, that’s rookie numbers man…we just hit $1.2USD/kWh the other day during the “dinner rush” between 5pm-9pm

The company’s solution has an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg for lithium ternary batteries, 40% more than current batteries. However, the report said charging speed and cycle life are not quite where they need to be.

That’s corporate speak for “This is far from where it needs to be”

Schnitzel is a Swiss thing that the Germans adopted (and did not improve).

Funnily I also haven’t heard much good about Scandinavian cuisine

Some very famous Michelin restaurants in Europe are based on Scandinavian cuisine…Noma and The alchemist come to mind

Interesting…it is extremely normal in all the Scandinavian countries, and I’ve encountered it a lot in Germany and Netherlands as well. I never thought it was considered strange. I ate it a lot as a kid 30 years ago.

What? Putting ketchup on spaghetti is 100% normal everywhere…

Volume control is also accessible from the steering wheel on pretty much any car produced within the last 15 years, and certainly any with a touch screen. I’m not comparing to steering wheel controls.

I’m comparing it to fiddling with AC settings on a centre console like everyone seems to me mentioning in this post.

It probably depends on the tracker and release group/uploader what they include in the torrent name, but yeah generally that’s what you can filter by. Otherwise it requires access to the media-file to determine these things. I would say though, that good trackers have reliable information in the torrent names themselves, usually audio-tracks (sometimes just “multi” though), codec, and resolution. I only use private trackers now though, and I have not had issues with unexpected low quality video since moving away from public trackers.

I believe you can filter by tags too. These are tracker specific though, so it’s up to the trackers you’re using to define what you can filter with tags I think.

When you’re fumbling to find the right switch/knob by feel your focus is still not on driving. It is at best very marginally better, and probably worse because you now think you’re still paying attention to driving even though you really aren’t. It’s still illegal to text while driving, even on an old phone with a physical keyboard, specifically for this reason.
