It’s top down for same reason things are generally left to righ. In the days of ink and paper, you’d end up with a smeared mess - ask a lefty what a pain in the ass that is.
Less of an issue nowadays of course. Still the very idea is a bit nails on a chalkboard to me, but I’m old and wondering if it’s a generational thing. Maybe you feel like this since many interfaces push text entry to the bottom?
Yep, that’s it: https://wiesmann.com/pages/wiesmann-mf4
I’m sorry you haven’t experienced good Thanksgiving food.
You forgot the soda bottle.
I work in automation. We had one site in Florida that despite AC pumping all the time, had humidity issues. Electonics seemed to handle it ok, but paper was another story. This site would have to print information packs to get packaged up with the product, and it was a nightmare with the collating and folding automation, it just never wanted to work properly. The printers themselves would jam and have more issues than they should as well.
$100/hr for technical emergency contract work? Get the fuck outta here.
They’re gonna get putzes and get hacked again.
Yeah, but where is that hydrogen coming from? Most is produced from natural gas, and even if electrolysis is used (“green hydrogen”) it’s vastly less efficient than just directly using the electricity - more than 2 to 1! (Overall system efficiency is 77% for EV vs 33% for H2)
They still need batteries (albeit smaller), and system weight is comparable to an EV.
H2 is also a complete pain to store and handle.
Except for things like trucks, I just don’t see the use case.
I remember seeing $5/gal under Bush. His last year had an average of $3.30 and peaked over $4… https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/gasoline-prices-fared-under-last-190000869.html
Synthetic fuels would be great for all the existing stuff, but not sure where you’re getting EV sales are down in Europe.
New plug-in car registrations:

Total: 311,897 (up 42% year-over-year) and 25% share

The highway manual manual is based off gut feelings and little else. Why 80%, where did that come from? How is the currently set speed limit impacting the survey? If you go to a speed trap town by the highway, you’d say the speed limit is dead on, as no one speeds since they know its a trap.
Roads should be designed for the speed you want, and not the other way around. Your last paragraph is dead on. Real solutions look like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bglWCuCMSWc
Having worked for UPS in the past, these guys definitely earn it. Long days, boiling hot or freezing cold, and wrecking their bodies the entire time.
This would be terribly abused. Imagine who Republicans would shoehorn in there based off their Supreme Court picks…
Dr. Bob Hartley awakens, upset, and he wakes Emily to tell her about the very strange dream he has just had. To his horror, he realizes she is the white queen.
Similarly, a nice fog free shower mirror for me. My wife would get so mad about stray hairs (it’s easy to miss some when it goes everywhere) Got a waterproof trimmer and started doing it in the shower - cleanup is super easy now!
For real. Cemeteries are such a waste of resources.
Reality has become indistinguishable from satire.
