I’ll share my two favorite sources for hurricane info.

Tropical Tidbits for excellent parsing of meteorological data and models without much editorializing and essentially no fear mongering. Excellent videos and website tools for nerding out about the weather side of things.

And NOAA’s National Hurricane Center for up to date guidance on rain, flooding, and wind probabilities and warnings. This coupled with a local emergency services communications is what most people should be using to track what impacts they should expect for upcoming storms.

It’s always amusing to me when encountering someone who has no concept of how little other people think about the things they focus on day in day out.

Since the first optical mice, pretty much the only features that have changed how I use a mouse are solid wireless connectivity with good battery life and side buttons. Both of those are completely dependent on hardware changes. Reliable software is important, but if I have to think about your software at all to use your peripheral, your approach to software is wrong.

What do you have against owls?

Germany doesn’t get everything right.

I went a full school year with a 12" laptop. The answer for me was: you don’t.

The existence of an article specifically about his opinions on a theoretical tax shows just how disproportionate the power of being wealthy is. When is the last time any of you were consulted on a tax policy that would affect you?

I vaguely remember that being a thing for early commercial 8k projectors, but I don’t know anything about the implementation.

So you just need 3 4090’s with 1 displayport each to the monitor and a whole new version of sli.

Even just getting above the boiling temp of liquid nitrogen is a really big deal. Liquid helium is something we will eventually run out of and is largely dependent on fossil fuel extraction to be collected. Helium can’t be recaptured after it escapes an open loop cooling system.

LN2 is so much cheaper to run and it’s sustainable. We’ll never run out of Nitrogen so long as there’s power to cool it. LN2 is cheaper than craft beer.

I usually look up the number for something like an ftc or fbi tipline if a website absolutely forces putting in personal info.

South China Morning Post publishing propaganda? Say it’s not so.

The speed of sound in seawater is around 1500m/s or 5400 km/hr. Something tells me they won’t actually be going supersonic.

The article shouldn’t be referencing the speed of sound without specifying the medium for the sound waves and conditions such as temperature for water or temperature and pressure for air.

Also, the supercavitation would be incredibly noisy underwater, and at those speeds the vessel itself would produce a very loud pressure wave that would be easy to detect. So its advantage wouldn’t be in avoiding detection, it would be in moving fast enough that detection doesn’t matter because no torpedo could intercept them.

Usually in a parabola.

This is one of the main reasons I use a wireless charger for nightly charging. The lint doesn’t get packed in to a dense layer if you aren’t plugging cables in all the time. My other reason is that I’m a clutz and snag dangling cables when reaching for stuff.

This implementation doesn’t seem particularly useful. However, I have long wanted maps to generate a weather forecast along route for long winter road trips. It can be pretty tedious to look up weather forecasts along a long drive and try to figure out if you’ll encounter snow.

Ironically, John Deere used to be a good example of supporting machines for a long time. I was able to get gaskets for a 33 year old tractor from them back in the early 2000’s.
