What’s the efficiency for turning jet fuel into mechanical work? I’d suspect the efficiency is somewhere around 45% for liquid fuel where it’s nearly 100% for electric. So you’re really trying to reach the equivalent of 5500 Wh/kg.

I’ve literally never seen or heard of porn being on Twitter/X. This is news to me.

I don’t have enough money to move somewhere with schools that don’t suck

Nah, just zig zag away from where you plugged it in and it’s never a problem.

I mowed my grass with a corded mower for a decade until the motor bearing finally disintegrated. Cost me $100 and one blade replacement. No small gas engine was ever that reliable for me

Japan has 1/3 the population vs the US so that means that nearly every man, woman, and child has Twitter in Japan vs 30% of US people.

I made a point a few years ago to play through every single unplayed game in my steam library. I’d picked up over a hundred games from random sales and humble bundles, And thought it was a disservice to myself to have unplayed games while buying new ones. This was one of them. I think this game had one of my favorite stories of any RPG I’ve ever played; it was number one until Baldur’s gate came out. I later learned it was a spiritual successor to planescape torment.

If you liked this one, another gem that I played during that time was Tyranny. I’m currently working my way through pillars of eternity; I’m really liking it as well so far.

I disabled my TPM in BIOS so Windows would never upgrade

This is my guess. Kinda like making a cube on a lathe is a test for machinists, and making a captive cube within a hollow cube is a more advanced version.

A friend of mine shot skeet in the Olympics one year. His gun cost about $12k. He reloaded his own rounds and went through about 250-1000 rounds a day before training, roughly tripling that leading up to the event.

The gun was so expensive because the brand would take your old one on trade every year (for a relatively small fee) for a new one. The program was for people just like him.

Maybe they can collaborate with Obsidian on something. Pillars of eternity and tyranny were amazing, especially the latter’s magic crafting system.

Just give us modding tools before leaving this game in the dust 😭

Nah, theyve secretly acquired yandere simulator

I bought a projector not too long ago. I’ll never go back.

From what I understand, drug screening usually ends up costing more than it saves because, unlike what the propagandists would have you believe, the vast majority of people on welfare aren’t on drugs.

I mean it’s a gun that fires continuously with a single trigger pull. How is that not a machine gun? Yeah it’s a machine pistol that’ll spend a clip in 3 seconds, but it’s still a machine gun.

Republicans get C, Java, Lua, and C++; Democrats get Ada, Rust, C#, and Python; Libertarians get Zig, TCL, Julia, and Ocaml for some reason.

Some cheap ones-

All we need is somebody to drive by a pressure vessel fabrication shop and get the panels zapped by a PMI gun. We’d know instantly.

My parents are approaching 60. I told them that the signal text message app would work a lot like iMessage if we both used it. And it did. It was great. For the other people that used signal, the experience was generally better. For other people that didn’t, SMS was fine because that’s how I was going to talk to them anyway.

The thing is, My parents are not going to go to more than one app to communicate with other people. Since it no longer sends and receives text messages, it doesn’t work with 99% of the other people in their lives.

They own and run a pretty large business. There’s no way that they’re staying on more than one messaging platform. You can talk all day about what they “should” do, but at the end of the day just getting them to switch to another app was a huge lift for me. Not only did they switch back to regular SMS, I burned a lot of credibility with them on tech related stuff through no fault of my own.

Repeat this story for the 90 or so people I had converted. There was no critical mass, so adoption evaporated overnight because my social graph is not enough to provide any sort of critical mass and adoption.
