"Steam gauges" on car/plane instrument panels. Yeah, digital displays are cheaper to manufacture and less prone to failure, but they kinda suck the fun out of it.

I seem to remember some list of "enforceable conditions" set out by the government for this merger. So those were bullshit, I guess.

Another W for the telecom cartel.

I used what known as 2's compliment. Take the complement (flip all the bits - here that would give you 01110 which is 14) then add 1.

Did you only try F2? It's possible the graphical session is on tty2 - see if ctl+alt+F1/ 3 does anything

Not a myth. What's inside the fridge doesn't really matter when talking about efficiency. It pretty much only depends on the rate at which energy seeps into the fridge from outside. All else being equal, chest fridges allow significantly less heat transfer through an open door than regular fridges, and are therefore a more efficient design.

You're completely right about the second part, though. It's just not practical, and the fact you would have to keep the door open longer while you rummage around for stuff renders the point moot anyway.

safer for all parties

If you were a pedestrian who had to walk through one of those designs, I guarantee you would not feel very safe.

The problem with traffic engineering is that it's solely concerned with vehicle traffic. Making roads safer and easier to drive on for cars actively makes them worse for everyone outside a car.

You should look into kodi. It's a big screen oriented media player/organizer app.

This is why carbon pricing should be done upfront. Pretty hard to lie about the physical volume of fossil fuels getting delivered to your factory

Arrows are more descriptive. \vec is better.

What's with conservative premiers elbowing their way into municipal affairs recently? Weren't they the ones complaining about government overreach a while ago?

Anyway, I'm picturing Doug Ford busting into the provincial treasury in a car-brain fueled rage, and trying to explain that yes, he really needs $100 billion, no it's not for ~~drugs~~ cars this time, it's for economic growth

 

The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Leon Draisaitl to an eight-year contract extension starting in 2025-26 with an average annual value (AAV) of $14 million.

 

EDMONTON, AB – The Edmonton Oilers announced this morning they will not match contract offer sheets presented by the St. Louis Blues to forward Dylan Holloway and defenceman Philip Broberg.

As per NHL compensation guidelines, the Oilers will receive the Blues' second and third-round selections in the 2025 NHL Draft.

In a separate transaction with St. Louis, the Oilers have acquired the rights to defenceman Paul Fischer as well the Blues' third-round selection in the 2028 NHL Draft in exchange for future considerations.

Fischer is an unsigned selection from the 2023 NHL Draft (138th overall) entering his second season with Notre Dame (NCAA).

 

He stunned Markstrom with the intense, prolonged eye contact lmao
