Are you implying they'll remember their own actions? Doubt it.

0° = Water frozen 23° = Comfy Indoor temperature ~36° = Human body temperatur 100° = Water boiling

I guess you have super hot snow over there. Pretty cool!

Well, trials are there for a reason. Battery-only-powered trains could be a good idea or a bad idea.

Remember the trial project for overhead wiring for trucks on the motorway? It ran for a couple of years, and the end result was that it wasn't feasible, despite some interesting benefits. But if it weren't for the trial, some people would still think it was feasible, while others would think it was unfeasible.

I'm leaning more on the unfeasible side with this train, but let's just see what happens.

Thanks, glimpsed over that line too fast. So durability concerns are most likely the limiting factor, hence the trial run. If, say, the battery can't keep up wih continuously getting topped up and fails after a short time, it's impractical/expensive. But could be the other way around as well.

Makes me wonder if this is cheaper than refitting a train line with overhead wiring and if not possible, power rails.

Eh, adb-debloated Samsungs are decent phones. No need to root.

A dumb and sort of wrong version would be:

~~Politically Left: "Society combine for everyone", Politically Right: "Freedom for everyone at all cost"~~

CORRECTION

Unfortunately, left and right are rather coarse terms within the political spectrum. Consider looking for some easy explanations to understand the finer details.

Fun Fact: The emergence of the "left" / "right" distinction in the political sense is attributed to the original seating arrangement at the Constituante, the constituent national assembly of 1789 in France.

EDIT: I hate talking about political stuff. Never a correct answer and every word is scrutinized. I hate it.

I feel the need to repost CGP Greys Playlist on Voting (or why the american version is so very very bad)

On e cigarettes specifically, after having watched bigclive dismantle lots of them, showing that they are practically just a few tiny cheap components away from being rechargeable and refillable (and they can indeed almost all be recharged and refilled), I guess manufacturers simply saw a market for it. It's stupid from start to finish, but then again cigarettes as a whole are stupid.

Actually, some of them aren't remotely placed correctly.

I wish I could do that. Unfortunately my rented flat requires 23°C of heating to prevent mold thanks to bad windows that cannot be fixed due to the house community not wanting to pay for replacing them. And yes I'm practicing proper venting, supported with several devices for timing. I'm so glad I'll be moving out soon.

Well, he made that dishwasher video a few years ago, sooo...

 

So I've switched to lemmy since the reddit meltdown started, experienced quite some withdrawal symptoms, occasionally turned back to reddit, more often logged out than logged in. Now I am merely using Lemmy occasionally and by far not as often as I used reddit before. No more doom scrolling.

So far so good.

Today I went on reddit for the first time in like 3 weeks straight (I couldn't do that for the last years... yeah, I was very addicted in hindsight). I just... I don't know what it is.

Reddit just isn't fun anymore.

I turned away after maybe 5 minutes. There were maybe 2-3 repost-worthy pics, one interesting video and a few small niche discussions that all went straight tits up within a few replies.

If I ask a question on lemmy, it usually is a straightforward, honest discussion. Almost no blaming of the posters or answerers misunderstandings or senseless answers. It goes a bit back and forth usually and people tend to thank each other for corrections. I can't remember when that happened on a reddit discussion. Maybe years back? Anyway, I'm not going back there anymore, not because I hate the CEO, but because reddit is not fun anymore. Lost all interest in it.

Did anyone of you have a similar experience?
