That is mostly because those numbers take the average occupancy level into account. Cars are rarely driven with a passenger in every available seat.

If you replace a short haul flight with a ride on a train you could easily cut carbon emissions by 75% Source

On the short term: maybe
On the long term: makes absolutely no difference. Some of the soot from those fires might actually settle in the soil and stay there for 100 - 1000 years, which is probably the least harmful way petro chems could be converted. The portion that would have been converted to plastics and rubber might be a grey zone, but not a large one, since a large portion of that is burned at the end of its useful life.

Both caffeine and ephedrine are stimulants.

How many PSUs are installed in the Poweredge server? In the manual it says it could be 1 or 2 and the power per PSU could be 1100W so if it is 2 * 1100W then that could explain why the UPS has problems with it.

Check out their road map and the videos of their prototypes. It is very much not a tech bro project :). The first goal isnt event maglev but magnetic propulsion.

If you want to go faster you want to go contactless which means building a whole new, incompatible, network.

retrofitting and hybrid operation seems possible though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevomo
they already built a small working prototype

Heh, I have two laptops: one with Arch and one with Ubuntu. I like both systems. I guess i like triggering myself.

Also very often overlooked: the Amazonas as we know it today is NOT wild in any way. It is a cultural landscape that started around the time when humans settled that area but not later than 11tya

[…] large portions of the Amazon rainforest are probably the result of centuries of human management, rather than naturally occurring as has previously been supposed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_rainforest#cite_ref-24

a surrender condition that lets Russia retain all the land they’ve taken

A while ago there was a prediction about the true intentions of the russia negotiating: they want to stop Ukraine from succeeding as a state, since that would be a bad omen for a neighbouring kleptocracy.
If this prediction comes true the outcome you describe is actually very unlikely, because the russia would rather continue fighting just to keep the region in shambles.

NetworkManager’s Gnome GUI works with wireguard config files. If you are using Plasma you would need to install some alpha software to do that in the gui but you can always fall back to nmcli which also supports wireguard configs via the import command.

Just to expand on the smartctl bit: you can totally use smartctl with some RAID controllers!
See here for examples / supported cards: https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_RAID-Controllers

Maybe the primary coolant but all the designs i’ve seen so far use water for the secondary coolant / working fluid.

Are there any molten salt reactor designs that do not use water as a coolant?

leaded solder without an extractor fan

• lead does not vaporize at the temps used in soldering.
• lead free solder also needs fume extraction. even more so actually, because it is used at slightly higher temps.
• even with perfect fume extraction, leaded solder can still poison you, because you touch it and then touch your face without washing your hands.
• if you are prone to allergic reactions from solder fumes avoid solder with a rosin core, use synthetic flux instead.

isnt the name of one of the hl2 maps “little odessa”?

TIFF is also such a hot mess when it comes to picking the correct subformat because there are so many options for compression available, some of them FOSS, some of them proprietary. Edit: … and most of them quite dated.

Are we still talking about PNG? Nowhere in the PNG standard is a description of changing the actual content of an image to make it compress better with DEFLATE. If you are thinking about the filter stage you should know that in this context an image filter is just creating a different representation of the same image, because it is fully reversible.

How would you make a lossy PNG? Just introduce errors randomly? That makes no sense.
