@Tazerface16 @CDS949 @Tazerface16, qq for you: I know a bit (but not much) about rockets and was wondering, is there a back-of-the-envelope calculation that proves that landing back the rocket+refurbishing it is so much cheaper than alternatives (parachuting down just the engine block, etc)? Thanks!

Anonymous My mom and her friend were on vacation in Italy and went looking for a place to have lunch in this small village. They found what looked like a cute little café with a patio and sat down. This old man comes out, brings them pasta, coffee, juice, everything they ordered, and then just sits down to chat with them. When they asked for the bill the man looked genuinely confused. Turns out it wasn’t a café. They had walked into some random guy’s private home and asked him to feed them 😭😭😭 And he just… did it. Italy I love you.

@Mercfan3Mercfan @chinafutureclub Then I’m not surprised you spent $24K/60K km on your other cars. I was wrong, I admit. I assumed people know how to release the hand break before driving. Your example demonstrates that some people don’t.

@msiguc @chinafutureclub Consumables are not fixed service items, they are checked and replacement recommended if required. All my ice cars required discs and pads before 60 kays.

The biggest concern with EVs, the battery, is a non-issue. I’ve driven 60,000km and the battery health is 94%! The battery warranty is 8 years. In that time I will save about $24,000 in fuel and servicing costs.

A homeowner in the Netherlands designed a garage door that cleverly blends in by looking just like a regular entry door.

@vlasta_blaha @RepLuna This is a different topic. Meanwhile, maybe you stop spreading this lie: > 32 years, 3 months, and 21 days since the Budapest Memorandum have passed, and many of the security assurances it promised to Ukraine have not been upheld in practice.

@msiguc @RepLuna It always makes sense to support democracy, human rights, and international law in the face of russia's daily brutal violations. Peace, accountability, and justice are more than welcome. Crimea has been under russian occupation since 2014.

Today, for the first time in close to a 1/4 century, 5 members of Congress (bipartisan) met with 5 members of the Russian Duma to discuss peace and bilateral relations. As representatives of the world’s two greatest nuclear super powers, we owe our citizens open dialogue, ideas, and open lines of communication. We will continue to foster this dialogue and push for peace in support of this admins push for peace, as well as economic opportunity. 🕊️

@msiguc @chinafutureclub Im talking servicing not just replacing air filters Einstein. No ice car is making it through servicing without further work ie brakes etc.

@Mercfan3Mercfan @chinafutureclub Replacing air filter is easier and cleaner than changing oil. If you want to do it at a shop, it's under $50, incl parts. And no, of course replacing air filter doesn't void warranty in the US, assuming you don't do anything real stupid.

@msiguc @chinafutureclub We’re doing our own oil changes now? The vast majority don’t, and your warranty will be void.

@RealRGTV @chinafutureclub I agree. I’m not sure how it works in a “real city”, eg in Europe, as opposed to US suburbia. Its hard to find *an* overnight street parking spot there, let alone any kind of an overnight charging point. I don’t think your average guy in eg Milano owns a charger in a garage.

@brainbootcamp @chinafutureclub That makes total sense, if you commute around only and especially so if you can install solar at home. But even a 2hr away ski trip requires a charging stop for a Tesla.

@msiguc @chinafutureclub Do you not have a spare plug at home in your garage? Why do you bother with the "find a gas station” hustle, when you can fill up at home overnight for much less?

@Mercfan3Mercfan @chinafutureclub Not sure about other countries. Besides oil changes, first 60K km require just an engine filter replacement (a 15 min easy and clean DIY), that’s it. The rest (tire rotation, etc) are the same for gas and ev cars.

@msiguc @chinafutureclub The cost of the oil is greater than that in many countries. Servicing schedule is not just an oil change buddy.

@FUZxxl @ChesshirCasey @maxliani I think the reason for making [] behavior non-checking is that C++ attempts to be as efficient as C under default use. In other words, standard library would like to claim “you cannot implement this functionality on this hardware more efficiently”.

Actually, no. You can totally dereference a std::vector out of bound, write outside of the memory boundary, corrupt memory. You can remove from a container in a way that corrupts iterators. You can easily enter a bad state from exceptions. No, the std library doesn’t give safety
Dave W Plummer@davepl1968

If you use the STL, you can write safe code in C++ Everything is object, allocator, and algorithm-based, and that's it. You NEVER call malloc or free or use strxxx() functions. You never see, access, or operate on memory directly. It's different than regular C++, but less different than Rust.

@ajjaksbkzks @joni_askola I don't think they were stupid back then, I think that was the right decision on their part. An important aspect is that Ukraine was supposed to stay permanently neutral, as stated in its Declaration of State Sovereignty, its founding document.

Americans, Brits, and Russians need to remember the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine voluntarily surrendered the third-largest nuclear arsenal in the world. In exchange, Washington, London, and Moscow pledged to respect Ukraine’s borders

@Mercfan3Mercfan @chinafutureclub Yes, oil changes in even a 6-cyl car are <$100. First 60K km don't require maintenance beyond oil changes in a descent car. The attached coupon is for an oil change at a NYSE-traded station; synthetics are about 1.5-2x more expensive, still under $100.

At this rate, it’s not even about being a Democrat or Republican anymore. It’s literally the American people versus a uniparty establishment that is corrupt to the core. It’s time for voters to wake up when they go to vote on Election Day. Stop sending the same garbage to the Senate.

@hispanicnomad Weird conclusion. Why does a waiter working in a private restaurant “support” a public school teacher? Both add value to the society and I’d argue the teacher likely adds more value.

@DavidLyddon @kiraincongress Didn’t happen in Georgia, after Putin won the war of 2008 there. Since then Georgia lives in peace, first time for so long and counting, after the collapse of the USSR, growing steadily its economy with RU being its #2 trade partner. Be a good neighbor of RU and you’re fine.

The problem with “giving up” territory is the assumption that occupation brings peace. It doesn’t.

@BilselY @pickover Cool, but I think x can be found easier. The distances from the right side of the rectangle to the points where the horizontal sides of the rectangle hit the circle are as follows: upper: 5-x, lower: 3+x. These two are the same, i.e. x=1.

Kallas wants freedom, democracy, free markets and rule of law. Medvedev wants dictatorship, domination, religious persecution, gulags and opponents thrown out of high rise windows.
Dmitry Medvedev@MedvedevRussiaE

The lab rat Kallas, her face unmarked by intellect, put her foot in it again, saying Russia is “demanding something that’s never been theirs.” Donbass! Which was Russia’s and no one else’s. It's a pity to be so dumb at 50. In fact, Estonia (the horror!) was also part of Russia😂
