Olympic organizers have touted plans to cool rooms in the Athletes Village, which will house more than 15,000 Olympians and sports officials over the course of the games, using a system of cooling pipes underneath the floors.

The average high in Paris on Aug. 1 is 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit). The objective is to keep the rooms between 23-26 degrees (73-79 degrees Fahrenheit). The rooms will also be equipped with fans.

That could be a tad warm depending on sun exposure.

The pancake tortoise is a fast and agile climber, and is rarely found far from its rocky home so that, if disturbed, it can make a dash for the nearest rock crevice.[6] Since this tortoise could easily be torn apart by predators, it must rely on its speed and flexibility to escape from dangerous situations, rather than withdrawing into its shell.[10] The flexibility of its shell allows the pancake tortoise to crawl into narrow rock crevices to avoid potential predators,[6] thus exploiting an environment that no other tortoise is capable of using.[11]

Don’t see anything about heat.

someguy3 ,

EVs are more expensive up front, then cost less as electricity is cheaper than gas. And cheaper maintenance and longer lifespan.

Some quick math from this realclearscience.com/…/how_expensive_is_it_to_cha…!

Puts slow charging at 1/4 the price of gasoline. That’s substantial.

Other searching says average of 18k km per year in Europe. With 6 l/ 100 km average age 1.76€/ l, gasoline costs €1,901 per year. Vs €475 for electricity. Saving €1,426 a year (1,527 US) Do that for 10 years and that’s €14,260 saved ($15, 270 US). I can only expect that savings will increase as gas prices go up.

As for maintenance anything with a timing belt is going to have a massive maintenance cost. There’s just no comparison in the design of these things. Electric motors have such a simple design. ICE cars have oil changes, transmission oil changes, coolant changes, spark plugs, starters, 12 v battery, accessory belt, timing belt, alternator. Yes EV’s have a 12v battery and coolant but these are not taxed nearly as much as ice cars.

EV motors are so simple they’ll handily outlast ice engines. And no transmission either. Boy if you’ve ever had transmission problems you’d never want another, EVs don’t have that. Tesla used to be on about a million mile drivetrain warranty because it really should be feasible. Ice cars can’t ever get that (on average).

Batteries yeah we’ll see how well new ones last. For a million miles you’ll go through a few batteries, which get better each time.

You have an incredibly adversarial tone with that “actual numbers” as if mine aren’t, so I’m not going to continue.

But I will point out I’m using averages and you are cherry picking low mileage per year, low fuel consumption, and low gas prices. And I’m guessing funny electric numbers to change 1/4 the cost of gas to nearly 2/3 the cost. And funny enough you are combining low mileage per year with moderately-high battery replacement rate. You are picking and choosing.

In 1993, a noose was left on a Black worker’s desk, and the following year he was told to “Go back to Africa.”

Oh yeah not subtle.

This worker, along with others, was consistently passed over for promotions in favor of less-qualified individuals.

In the early 2000s, another Black employee found the racial slur “coon” written on his work forms and “KKK” etched on his lunchbox. He was even ordered to submit a handwriting sample to prove he did not write it himself. The lawsuit states that one manager continued to refer to Black people as “colored” well into the 1990s, and another manager told a plaintiff that “women should be at home having kids.

Set it up to a mic measuring decibels lol.

someguy3 ,

Ok then.

Been a minute since I posted this:

Frame Canada: Wendell Potter spent decades scaring Americans. About Canada. He worked for the health insurance industry, and he knew that if Americans understood Canadian-style health care, they might… like it. So he helped deploy an industry playbook for protecting the health insurance agency. www.npr.org/2020/10/19/925354134/frame-canada

Who headbutted you?

Missing mother found dead inside 16-foot-long python after it swallowed her whole in Indonesia (www.cbsnews.com)

A woman has been found dead inside the belly of a snake after it swallowed her whole in central Indonesia, a local official said Saturday, marking at least the fifth person to be devoured by a python in the country since 2017....

someguy3 ,

Fucking terrifying.

someguy3 ,

I believe prey are suffocated before the snake consumes them.

someguy3 ,

This is stupid and I love it.

FYI North Korea is sending balloons over because South Korea sends balloons over with pamphlets, usb drives with tv shows, etc.

Is Craigslist Dying?

I went to Craigslist in my local area for the first time in awhile. I used to like “best of” Craigslist because some of them were great, there still are some, but its just not the same. A community I used to visit had about half the number of posts as I remember, and of jobs and things for sale, I would say roughly half the...

someguy3 ,

Really? I thought facebook martketplace was the big one.

someguy3 ,

It went about how you would expect the hundreds of times I watched it happen.

So what exactly happened?

someguy3 ,

There’s no barrier? I thought they’d be in a cell with the person watching outside.

someguy3 ,

And there was much rejoicing. Yay…

someguy3 ,

Can’t believe it was Japan.

someguy3 ,

R&D, engineering, manufacturing process changes, supply chain changes (I think this pretty much requires hybrid) all the way from mining, etc takes time. The world can’t change on a dime.

someguy3 ,

3 years is nothing for this kind of change. Things take way more time than you think.

When a new car model with a new engine comes out, is it all at once? Why don’t they put out the new engine in bits and pieces? Not how it works.

someguy3 ,

Those are such small things. Not even sure you can do some because of the way mileage is calculated - pretty sure part of it is “accelerate from this speed to this speed in this time, so many times”.

someguy3 ,

Groan. This belongs in dad jokes.

Listening to the audio, he knew exactly what he was doing and took absolute glee in being a “cyber terrorist”. This wasn’t some random mischief, he was a serious prick who deserves the prison time.

*Should be supervision for the rest of his life. Psychopath like this, there’s a good chance he will try swatting or hacking whoever prosecuted him.

someguy3 ,

As long as this is treated as physical training and not actual marksman training I can see this being very useful. I remember going to the arcade once with those laser guns you hold up, all you can play for however many bucks, fuck my arms were sore.

someguy3 ,

Why have them carry a gun or ruck at all, just have them hit the gym. It’s not the same. Train like you fight (and a little bit more).

someguy3 , (edited )

In this case the payment system stopped working and things were free. They eventually caught on. Their solution for the last hour and half was kick everyone out and you could come back in, all you could play, for whatever dollars.

Can we convince people that Andrew Wakefield, Jenny McCarthy and RFK, Jr. cause autism?

Not autism. They cause death.

Is that golf cart mine resistant?

Hmm two tire treads continuous path, I think that’s more area than footprints from 1 or 2 people.

By German Street signs you mean the street names are German, or the “stop” sign is “stoppen”? I want pics before I believe that.

Sheldon Gary Adelson (August 4, 1933 – January 11, 2021) was an American businessman,[2] investor, political donor, and philanthropist.[3][4][5] He was the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands Corporation, which owns the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, and the parent company of Venetian Macao Limited, which operated The Venetian Las Vegas and the Sands Expo and Convention Center before selling the properties in early 2022.[6] He owned the Israeli daily newspaper Israel Hayom, the Israeli weekly newspaper Makor Rishon, and the American daily newspaper the Las Vegas Review-Journal.[7][8]

Adelson created the Adelson Foundation in 2007, a private charity focusing on healthcare and support of Israel and the Jewish people. He was a major contributor to Republican Party candidates[9][10] and was often dubbed a “kingmaker” due to the size and frequency of his donations.[11][12] He and his wife Miriam Adelson were Donald Trump’s largest donors, providing the largest donation to Trump’s 2016 campaign, his presidential inauguration, his defense fund against the Mueller investigation into Russian interference, and the 2020 campaign.[13][14][15][16][17][18] He was also a major backer of Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[19]

In 2020, Forbes listed his net worth as US$29.8 billion.[20]

He died in 2021

Carrots don’t even have Vitamin A in the proper form. They have vitamin A precursors that your body can use to make vitamin A. If you want actual vitamin A you find it in liver

*Downvoted by what I’m guessing are vegans.

someguy3 ,

Not the comment, nor using. I’m commenting on the downvotes and trying to figure out the cause.

someguy3 ,

Found the vegan. He has to mock nutrition.

someguy3 ,

What is this from? I guess I’ve never seen him in his youth

someguy3 ,

Has any airline cancelled their Boeing contracts yet?

someguy3 ,

One mechanic at the complex, who has worked for Boeing for more than three decades, has claimed it is “full of” faulty 787 jets that need fixing.

Many of these jets are flown from Boeing’s site in South Carolina, where the company shifted final assembly of the 787 in 2021 in what was characterized as a cost-cutting measure.

someguy3 ,

They do military stuff too.

someguy3 ,

Well the plan B is NATO article 5. It’s a shame Ukraine wasn’t in it.

For all the bluster there’s no way Russia would take on NATO.

someguy3 ,

Trump would leave NATO no doubt. But from what we’ve seen NATO without US can easily take Russia.

someguy3 ,

Russia couldn’t go against fucking Ukraine, one of the poorest countries in Europe. Russia couldn’t do much against NATO minus US. The only problem is the baltics have no depth.

I think everyone learnt plenty from Hitler that appeasement and country and country doesn’t work. That’s the whole point of NATO. Your view is antithetical to the entire doctrine of NATO.

someguy3 , (edited )

Ukraine held off the initial invasion all on their own until the supply started. Then it’s stalemate with slow, surplus weapons. Entire stockpile? Lol no. Ukraine is getting crumbs.

I’m not having fun with this. It’s just fact that Russia couldn’t do much against one of the poorestcountries in Europe. Apparently full of corruption. Hard to imagine they had any decent training over large parts of their military (a Canadian sniper went over and came back because he effectively thought they had no idea what they were doing). There’s simply no comparison with any proper military.

I wonder why you’re on this drumbeat of yours (doesn’t take much to figure it out). Ciao.

someguy3 ,

Geez what happened in 2020 … Oh right.

someguy3 ,

Seeing as it’s not in the official song, I think it’s from a bad rip or something.

someguy3 ,

I did, most people understand that idiom. Frankly it’s amazing he didn’t.

someguy3 ,

It expressed what I wanted to say, because it was my reply.

Notice I’m downvoted, so who’s the one being edgy? Could have said that for your original comment too. Ciao.
