🇺🇸 The founding fathers didn’t fight the British so you could ask permission. Peace through superior firepower.

@eevblog How bout that "Consumer" Data Right. Ironically it makes it easy for businesses to slurp up your transactions via a standardised API. But you're shit outta luck if you wanna access your own data yourself!

WTF is wrong with banks, why can they only search back through 2 years of transactions? If you want older you have to manually look through old statements, and those only go back 7 years. And if you didn't save older ones you are sh!t out of luck, data gone forever. This can't be a data space thing.

@eevblog Its a data retention thing for financial institutions. Insurance as well. Older than 7 years? Kiss your data goodbye, unless it was needed

@buggirl You clearly don't even fall into engineer, lawyer, or doctor money. You shouldn't be talking about the rich. If you were in any of these categories, you would understand how "tax the rich" always becomes "tax the guy who makes more than a lousy $75k".

Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.

@bikelakecity @joeyscleaning Not true. Passenger Cars are part of a $4 Trillion economy, with taxes collected at every level of government. And it provides several million jobs which leads to even more taxes being collected. Roads pay for themselves.

@joeyscleaning This is a common misconception. Gas taxes and registration fees don't come close to covering the cost of roads, requiring billions of dollars in subsidization out of the general fund (sales taxes) each year. People who don't drive pay for the people who do, not the other way

Why do we keep building car lanes when drivers barely use the ones they’ve already got?

@tinyrowlet It doesn't concern Americans because we have AC. We just stay indoors on days like that. Or go to the beach

@RestoreTyneside Humans can affect the climate with their actions and the evidence is this has been happening for at least 6,000 years.

Dear Climate change deniers . Today UK broke it's May temperature record by 2C. The UK has temperature records going back 350 years and in all that time we have never come close to this May temp. Without climate change this temp in UK would be impossible

@enchantedflms This would be easily solved if Europeans used American style windows. Window unit. Use it when you need it. Doesnt take up extra space.

So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long... First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here. The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry. In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures. Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it. Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It. UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth. During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs. Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US). It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare. Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings. This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling. Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation. Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day. Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat. We're properly white! So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation. Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight. You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc. Drier US heat often cools significantly at night. That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating. Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...

I don’t understand why every vehicle isn’t a hybrid. Why not use regenerative braking to charge a battery in every car? Huge increase in gas mileage. Why do they still make non-hybrids?

@the_UrbanWolf Bike lanes are a niche that is used by less than 1% Most people in NYC don't want to travel by bike. They would like to travel by car without spending 20 minutes looking for parking or being stuck in traffic

The anti bike lane argument is the same argument as the historic anti ADA services Opponents repeatedly say they inconvenience others This is really about options for everyone. Bike lanes aren't "nimby" and they haven't peaked- that's peak cope. Another AJ rant.
