@lovemoki4ever @hageatama Have you had your final confirmation email yet? the ⌚️ March update said a "few weeks" but I got nothing in April. ⌚️ #ticktock

@hageatama Are yours batch 1? So cool I can’t wait to receive mine ！

There was a bad smash on the slip road to the clyde tunnel earlier on. Someone painted cartoon tunnel entrances on the under pass walls. Obviously hope everyone is okay. But surely not!

@railnigel did you give Sarah a follow? x.com/SarahWoods66/s…

Surely this is unique? A LC where people’s homes are between the gates, when trains are clear to pass?!

@implausibleblog My only concern with this video is his ability to drop the knife may be compromised by the taser, however, he is the only one responsible for being in this situation, and Personally, I'd rather use a boot to disarm a knife man than going in hands first. How do YOU take the knife?

Left: Head of Met Police Mark Rowley suggests that Zack Polanski undermines the ability of police officers to work Right: It seems that Zack Polanski, like many of us, was wondering why police officers kicked a man on the ground five times in the head I'm not anti police. I've never trained or worked in any part of policing. And I'm grateful every day that we have police men and women who run towards danger to protect all of us in society I can appreciate fast moving instances where officers have to act on their feet, especially when there's a dangerous person who stabbed two people, and they need to disarm them as quickly as possible But it's the five kicks to the attackers head which makes many of us wonder if that was an appropriate way to respond I've muted the video in the first playing so you can hear the commissioner. I've kept the audio in the second playing so you can hear the officers You can hear the police officers repeatedly shout 'drop the knife' as they're kicking him in the head. You can also see they're holding a taser, which presumably immobilised the attacker which is why he's on the ground not really moving. And when they pull his arm out to get him to drop the knife, his arm is shaking (taser?) We all rely on the police to keep us safe, but I don't think it's unreasonable to ask @metpoliceuk if kicking someone in the head five times is acceptable normal practice I'd welcome any clarity from any experienced police officer, or directly from the Met, just to reassure the public on the reasons why these actions were taken I'd also appreciate the integrity of responding with an explanation, not to assume that these questions are meant to demean or diminish the ability of our police to keep us safe

@Transport_Nottm And can you put up a lane marking repeater signs on the northbound side of MMW. Since traffic queues over the lane markings and then moves unexpectedly out of phase in different lanes making lane changes difficult.

Remember when Maid Marian Way looked like this? If you use the new area to cycle, walk or drive through we're interested in your feedback on how you find using the area now. You can find a short online survey here forms.office.com/e/NZnM2DQGdf

@Transport_Nottm The out of phase lights are a seriously dangerous hazard to pedestrians who like to just nip across when the traffic isn't moving.. as they see stationary traffic and don't realise the next lane is going 30mph. But only half as disastrous as Wilford St to Castle Boulevard jct.

@JPLindsley Nature is where we humans have always lived. It is our home, our castle. We should respect it as we do for our and others homes.

JD Vance refused to clap for “nature,” during the King’s speech to Congress. Even Speaker Mike Johnson was puzzled. In fact, he looked a bit afraid as he rose to clap while JD, emissary of the White House and president of the Senate, sat silently. But the Speaker found the courage to clap anyhow. King Charles showed Ciceronian rhetorical skills and within 2 minutes he indeed had Vice President Vance clapping for nature, once the king couched the natural order as also necessary for national security for free peoples.

Bugatti just lost its all-time speed record. To the Chinese EV in this video. 308 mph at Papenburg, on a battery. The Chiron Super Sport had held the record for six years. 1,600 hp, 8.0L W16, four turbochargers. Bugatti needed every horse of that to hit 304 mph. BYD's Yangwang U9 Xtreme did 308 with four electric motors and a battery pack. Marc Basseng, the driver, won the Nürburgring 24 Hours. He said the run was "technically not possible with a combustion engine." He's right. A combustion engine produces a power curve that peaks at a specific RPM and falls off either side. Past 9,000 RPM the valves float, the connecting rods stretch, the pistons can't reverse direction fast enough. The W16 is the absolute thermodynamic ceiling of 100 years of internal combustion. Every mph past 290 cost exponentially more engineering for diminishing returns. The U9 Xtreme uses four electric motors. Each produces 744 hp. Each spins to 30,000 RPM. No valves. No pistons. No connecting rods. Total system output is 2,978 hp, almost double Bugatti's W16. Power-to-weight is 1,217 hp per tonne. The motors were never the hard part. Mate Rimac said this years ago. The constraint was always the battery, because to deliver 2,978 hp into four wheels you have to discharge faster than any production EV ever has. BYD built the world's first 1,200-volt production car. Everyone else uses 800V. The Blade Battery runs lithium iron phosphate cells with a 30C discharge rate, ten times what a conventional EV battery handles. Heat generation falls 67% versus 800V at matching output. That last number is the whole game. Heat is what kills high-power EV runs. Other automakers derate within seconds at full power because the battery cooks itself. BYD's architecture lets the Xtreme hold maximum discharge long enough to actually approach the aerodynamic limit of the chassis. Bugatti spent 20 years engineering the W16 to its physical ceiling. BYD spent 18 months building the architecture that cleared it. They're making 30 of them. The crown for fastest production car on Earth has belonged to Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Hennessey, SSC. All combustion, all European or American. The crown is Chinese now, and it runs on a battery.

@plankers Could this be? (27/09/2010)

Just about 17 years ago, a couple coworkers and I decided to put a decommissioned Dell PowerEdge 2650 on the roof. Why? Because we were curious, and it was to become scrap metal. We did absolutely nothing to weatherproof it, beyond setting it on two bricks, facing it away from the prevailing wind, putting a drip loop in the cabling, and using fiber networking so we wouldn't fry anything if it got zapped. Ran Linux, plotting its own sensor data via ipmitool, and presenting it via a web page served from the box itself. We put load on it using SETI@Home. It ran for about two months up there, even surviving 6" of snow, until a really gnarly thunderstorm drove water into the SCSI backplane and it shorted out. Continued running for a few more weeks, though, until not being able to write to disk was finally too much. Did not come back from a power cycle. Its hostname was Tevye, of course.

@standupmaths NO, This sign is Impossible! 7'8"

@SteamieRomance That looks a lot like Tom.

@modernheroestv I have green plates with a green sticker over the top! (My green plate didn't have UK mark on it for driving in Europe..)

What are we saying about adding these green stickers to your number plates instead of having proper ones made up? 😅

@lateralcast @tomscott @davidjbodycombe Probably too late to fix it, but you flopped on Episode 184! Richard Fosbury did not attend the Tokyo 64 Olympics. He developed the flop at highschool around 64, His Olympic debut was at Mexico 68, where he won gold. web.archive.org/web/2006101910…

@HowThingsWork_ dude is on stilts...

The sign of a watching a good tradesman in action. "That looks so easy, i can do it myself"

@OverclockersUK @linusgsebastian That GPU came bundled with extra Gravity.

@OverclockersUK If that was me building the PC that GPU would certainly have hit the floor the second I turned away!

@philatrail @Jezzatrainman The internet delivers again.. amazing what you can find.. from an image with next to no clues..

@Parax @Jezzatrainman Classic co-acting territory! Thanks for the pic!

Railway quiz time. Does anyone know what these white painted surfaces were originally for?
