Watts are part of the electrical properties along with volts and amps. Laptop chargers have the same watts and volts but more amps.
This is incorrect, Watts (power) is the product of amps * volts. The formula is P = IV. Anything with the same power and voltage will have the same amps.
The volume of power consumed would be Watts * time and gets you to capacity and usage units like watt-hours.
Lol I believe it would be rapid uncontrolled oxidation
Exactly what I was thinking, I’m not sure of any example coming before the original Charlton Heston version.
Don’t have a name for the trope tho
To be fair, it could have fully driven itself into the train: “fully self driving” <> “fully safe driving” /s
Same here, I was a big fan of Nova until I discovered Niagara about a year ago. It’s a totally different concept from the icon based launchers. I love the minimalist approach to widgets and the self optimizing app list. Tying it in with sesame has led me that product as well and I’m finding the whole solution to be really nice
Christmas is already after New Year’s in the current calendar year ;)
I mean just because you like taking a bath or swimming doesn’t mean you’re going to enjoy standing in the rain too
Umm that’s donuts if they’re from Dunkin’ 😜
US here, before COVID I would tip delivery drivers but not if I was picking it up. Now I tip 10-15% for takeout and 20%-25% for table service. I’ve also come to understand that checking your order, packing the bag, and including condiments or extras all take time and I’ve decided I’m ok tipping for that if it helps them earn a more decent living.
Yeah, you don’t want toddlers learning gun safety the hard way
I’m not sure where that number came from but according to Wikipedia the conversion from momentum to electricity loses 10-20% and the conversion from electricity to battery storage is another 10-20% leaving a theoretical recovery at 60-70%. In real world tests, Teslas recovered 20-32% range with regenerative braking, a far cry from 2-5% you cite. https://electrek.co/2018/04/24/regenerative-braking-how-it-works/
For sure! My community is served by a volunteer department and I joined a couple years ago, definitely a rewarding experience. Now not only have I gotten to sit in a truck, but I drive them, have learned all sorts of cool tools like the jaws of life and get to work with a great group of people serving our community.
You don’t need to be young and fit either (I’m not!), there’s a job for everyone. Anyone who’s interested should definitely check out their local department. Most have active Facebook pages sharing updates and their website should have info on how to learn more about joining.
Idle losses are real but not very substantial in a modern engine compared to the bigger factor you’re missing which is that in city driving tests there is a lot of speeding up and slowing down, ICE vehicles throw away all the energy used to slow down as heat in the brakes which makes city cycles particularly inefficient while an EV captures that energy through regenerative braking, dramatically reducing the net cost of those momentum changes.
It’s the New York Post, temperature would be a chilly 45F for their American audience
Brian?!
I was gonna say this is a sad day, but that’s just nostalgia for a time that’s passed. I grew up reading and loving Popular Science, my dad always has a subscription and I would read it cover to cover usually the day it came in the mail. I let my own print subscription lapse years ago, tried a few different versions of digital magazines (anyone remember zinio?), but today it’s just websites like arstechnica and the verge that have become the focus.
I still value the articles I come across online but the print edition is just a warm memory at this point to me so I can’t expect them to keep a business going on that.
Well I feel like I acquired both a new point of view and a chuckle with this one, so thank you Internet friend 😌
That’s Pennsylvania
