I assumed they would just use capacitor commutated AC motors like most ‘dumb’ motors running on single phase.
I also assumed during the wash cycle it would just switch direction before the motor could accelerate to full speed, then the spin cycle was full speed. I didn’t realize any more speed control was necessary.
Hol up. Do most washers use brushed DC motors??? Why? That’s such a strange choice of motor for that application.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.
Oh yeah, location sharing will have almost no effect those risks. Totally agree.
Just disagreeing that low probability of occurrence automatically means the risk assessment should be low.
Risk assessment is probability and severity. The probability can be vanishingly low, but if the severity is astoundingly high then acting like a high risk situation could be appropriate.
Take asteroids. The last planet killer to hit us was 94million years ago. A rudimentary estimate could put the probably as 1:94mil. The severity of an asteroid impact of that magnitude is off the charts, so it is reasonable to consider it a risk and act accordingly to spend resources to search for and track asteroid trajectories.
The severity of abduction, murder, and rape is probably pretty high for most people, so considering it a risk even with a very small probability is not unreasonable.
I agree it feels very slow, but identifying the correct action and then building consensus around that action takes time. Once consensus is built it is very stable though. That is supposed to be the biggest benefit of democracy; stability built through coalition.
The administration is completely different. The GOP had a lot more influence on the admin choices in 2016. MAGA is the party now and they get to appoint anyone they want. 2016 still had people who believed in democracy, the 2024 administration sees it as a hinderance.
Woah, first I’m hearing about this. How’s it work? What’s it called? How do you find a place?
Surprisingly, Star Wars is a great example of this. A rinky dink political group (rebels) blowing up a military installation (death star) is terrorism. That does not mean the action was unjustified.
My enemy’s enemy…
I think deep state here refers to unelected government officials.
Inflation’s back, baby!
It surprises me that bringing the server in house especially for emergency services isn’t a priority.
If their claims are true, yeah. That’s how I read the implications.
Trump helps Chinas foreign policy so much. Their goal for decades has been to spread soft power and influence. They’ve been very effective even before Trump. What China is able to provide now is stability. The chaos that Trump sows drives nations away from the USA sphere of influence into the Chinese sphere. All they have to do is not rock the boat, do what they say they’re going to do, and let the US do the advertising for them.
It’s very sad to see an authoritarian state be the bastian of hope for developing nations. It feels like the democratic experiment has failed and authoritarianism is taking control worldwide.
What is the other meaning of undead?
“…they [Infowars] strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal.”
What a fantastic read.
I mean, even with a union, if a company crumbles the laborers are out of a job.
It’s a monarchy… So yeah…
They said with suspicious confidence…
