French pilots' union calls strike over planned tripling of flight taxes in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I'm lost in the air travel debate and it sucks. Ignoring the strike and pilots specific concerns, IMHO:

  • Emissions of flights are horrendous and will be viewed as barbaric in 30+ years. It needs to stop.
  • Denying those of a lower income the opportunity to partake in air travel is also horrendous, and should not be the main mechanism to disrupt the industry.
  • There are, in many cases, no alternatives to air travel, so it cannot be abolished.

Smarter regulation is needed, but the finite details will likely never suit a majority of people.

Ew. Get your 6G macrowave transmitter needle away from me you pervert.

Global energy demand is not expected to fall, especially as more people gain access through economic development of traditionally poorer nations.

That is why increasing renewable generation capacity is so important now.

It's about the perceived drug use (namely ecstasy) within the electronic music scene. Amsterdam, because of its ports and proximity to western Europe, became a hub for typically higher quality drugs.

I would argue poo would be the opposite of a higher tier material like gold. Spit maybe?

What resources do you recommend for an adult wishing to relearn math? in c/[email protected]

Khan academy got me through the end of high school and engineering. It really made the concepts a lot more understandable than the lecturers.

If it's content is still up to scratch, I hope it's getting the recognition it deserves!

The country is done for (lemm.ee)
 

I'm all for inclusion of all people in our society. No one should be prejudiced for who they are.

BUT! Today I have to draw the line! Listening to the Play School alphabet song with my kid and it goes "A, B, C, D....X, Y, zed or zee". Since when is this blatant destruction of our national identity accepted?

I'll be picketing outside the ABC's head office from tomorrow and following that the education office until this travesty can be corrected! Who's with me?!

Would it not be economic suicide to do so?

Sodium-ion battery startup scores large automotive supply contract for a 10 GWh production line in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Ah wow, I had current lfp at around 220-250 but that looks like it's on the R&D lines and not in series production yet

I guess with the sheer amount of research being lumped into Lithium batteries at the moment, I would be surprised if it is overtaken by anything short term at least in the auto space. Let's see...

Just to clarify, the article states these are for low voltage systems inside cars, and not powering cars themselves.

Which makes more sense as the density of Na-ion is ~30% less that Li-ion.

Washing Machine/Dryer Stand (lemm.ee)
 

We have finally reached the point where we no longer have enough space to dry our clothes indoors, and will need to invest in a dryer.

We have a washing machine in our bathroom (also small) so the dryer would ideally go under/over that.

Does anyone have experience building or buying an appropriate stand? The dryer and washing machine will likely weigh about 50-60kgs each.

Resources for learning electromagnetic system design & regulation (lemm.ee)
 

I have a mech engineering background and have been tasked to look into electromagnetic product design in the coming years.

Before I dive deep and tackle this change, I would like a refresher on electromagnetic radiation, especially low power applications. Massive bonus points if there are any resources which include regulation too.

Anyone got any worthwhile resources?

Photo Album Software (request) (lemm.ee)
 

I have a large number of photos edited and ready to go and want to then them into an album. Does anyone have any recommendations for any FOSS software that I can use to arrange the images to pages, and add text?

I intend to send the data to a professional printer for printing and binding.

My first thought was Libre Office's Draw, but maybe this community has something more appropriate.

ShPD: What are your favourite and least favourite challenges? (lemm.ee)
 

I personally think each of the challenges are well thought out!

Favourites: Badder Bosses and Swarm Intelligence. These imho add a nice layer to the game.

Least favourite: Into the darkness, it annoys me getting sniped from a ranged enemy without seeing anything.

Special shout-out to pharmacopoeia and faith is my armour. I cannot finish the game with these on - anyone got any tips?
