Don’t multiple packets come in faster than the ping times?

Agreed. Though realistically we don’t even have the main tools yet. Mechanized CO2 removal is the only viable solution for any sort of meaningful mitigation.

We’re well beyond being able to be ‘comfy’ or even ‘moderately uncomfortable’ but there are orders of magnitude worse we can still mitigate if we try. Manchin has now made it significantly worse as well.

Ah ok, I thought you were saying it permanently lost the capacity.  resetting it once in a while with a 100% charge is more reasonable

but in general you never charge to 100% and after awhile your battery starts not recognizing that additional capacity

It’s not really a new concept.

The caveat with small savings over time is directly inverse of the complexity. Truck side skirts work well because they are just fixed in place and have no moving parts. Tails as well but do have some impact on loading/unloading

no, it’s either an outright dismissal or a mistrial, but only if discovered/proven.

I’m still amazed the whole ‘parallel construction’ thing just sorta got memoryholed.

Me: Die

As with sailboats, the wind only needs to be generally in their direction of travel. Sailboats can actually go faster than the wind speed when cutting across it.

SC has had the ever hilarious cardboard/sharpie “Tags Applied For” thing going on for decades.

No. We will however, rightly, blame the NRA and the gun nuts that *demand* that everyone have easy access to extra large clips for their AR-15 mega rocket launchers on their Abrams tank SUV.

Counterpoint:  A bird in the hand is worth a field goal and other badly mixed metaphors

As I said, it’s all intertwined.  You have mandatory minimums *because* of ridiculous under-sentencing.   The extremes drive the overreactions of law.

Counterpoint: white male judges letting white male prep-school convicted rapists off with probation

I, for one, welcome our new MEGApede overlords!

Sorta related, we should be dropping basalt dust across the land masses.

Had a short on lime meeting with my boss today

The dimensions are all wrong.
