what's up, railing my jet

Mean, they didn't electrify the children's train station

they should make factorio but more annoying (power lines have a max current carrying capacity and resistive losses, you can create transformer substations for long-distance 250kV power lines, motors create reactive power)

@ktemkin reminds me of people saying nixbsd was impossible then mentioning that it took us like 2 months to get it from "nix can't build on freebsd" to "we have basically nixos with a sandboxed nix daemon and a gui running on real hardware"

@whitequark I sent this as a postcard with the caption "KVV HATES this ONE TRICK to speed up your commute"

@Qyriad finally, nix for lesbians

@irenes I used the same glasses today that I did for the 2017 eclipse

@ariadne @lanodan If they have upstream uboot and SPI flash you can just UEFI with a device tree, but I still have boards without SPI flash so you have to put it on an SD card or something

i don't see what people are going on about, the königsberg kaliningrad bridge problem takes like 10 seconds

@endocrimes Oh, yeah, that's true, it's kind of awful

@thomasfuchs @malcircuit Where the hell do you propose we get all the lithium?

@thomasfuchs @malcircuit China opened its first high speed rail line in 2008 and currently has the world's largest network

@thomasfuchs Unfortunately greenhouse gasses aren't the only problem with cars, especially in cities. They produce huge amounts of noise pollution, infrastructure wear, PM2.5, take up lots of space, and are extremely unsafe to people around them. Electric cars will also require massive amounts of lithium and increase road wear issues.

Banning plastic straws doesn't really help anything, but banning cars in cities would make cities more pleasant even ignoring CO2.

@lanodan @Scarlet i don't think it generally makes sense to use american sign language in irc, especially since scarlet is in places that use dgs and bsl. they're completely different language families and not mutually intelligible. /s
