Ideally, most EV charging would happen in off-hours, when you don’t need the AC at full blast. Some utilities even offer flexible pricing to make nighttime charging cheaper.

Another factor is false positives. Radar may be more likely to pick up curbside trash or potholes that pose no real danger. As far as the radar is concerned, it’s just an object quickly approaching. It may not have enough focus or resolution to know it’s not an obstacle. For instance:

If you are driving that fast under those conditions, then don’t complain when the automatic brake system doesn’t see the same thing you can’t see with your own eyes. Slow down for conditions.

I love visiting Catalina whenever I can. Two Harbors has almost an off-grid feel, (though they do have WiFi at the dock, and a small general store.) you can hike just a bit and not see a soul. Might see a bison or deer, though. But just 26 miles from Los Angeles.

If a tugboat is a tow truck, then the semi-submersible ship is a flatbed tow.

I think most of the diesel subs are attack subs, not missile subs. So just conventional warheads on the torpedos, no nukes.

It certainly could not be a standard centrifugal pump, but there are pumps that would work in that environment. They definitely should have had a pump to deal with emergencies when it was operational.

Then get one that has only a pedometer. The sensor for that is small and cheap, it has no impact on the overall price, and it’s most likely dual-purposed. (Same sensor your phone uses to know which way is up.) The heartrate and other sensors are relatively new, there are many older models that don’t have them.

As an aside, seawalls aren’t going to save Miami, the bedrock is too permeable. But the point still stands. Windmills and solar farms need EA’s too.

The risk is it will mutate beyond Delta, enough to bypass the vaccine, putting us all at risk again. The longer it can spread among the unvaxed, the more chances it has to mutate into something new.

I may have been wrong:

You can try:

They usually have optics to change the focus distance to around 10 feet. It’s actually more of a problem for near-sighted people like me. I had to get prescription lenses for my VR headset.

This looks to be much lighter than a phone.

I could be wrong, but I don’t recall ANY exoplanet detection by radio waves, yet. The sun puts out a much stronger signal, and it would need a huge baseline to separate the signal of a planet. Maybe the EHT could do it when they finish looking at black holes, but I’m not sure it can be used on such a weak signal.

I think we would be VERY interested in any planet showing any more than trace O2. Water, CO2, and even CH4 are everywhere, but O2, by itself and in quantity? That’s something special.

Though this article was specifically about transit detection, which can work at a greater distance.

Also, Mars and Venus both have very high CO2, much higher than Earth.

Jupiter doesn’t transit the sun as often, so its size does not guarantee it would be detected first. For the planets we detect, it usually requires 3 orbital periods to properly confirm the sighting, so that would require between 24 and 36 years of continuous observation. Meanwhile they are likely to see Earth…

I’m pretty sure that unimpressed boy is the brother of the birthday girl, and therefore is not having fun at an all-girls party.
