@mattblaze TBH, that is exactely the impression of the US the rest of the world has.

@silverwizard Side note:: this is definitely the type of code I would dare to run as root...

@hellomiakoda Does "wear" imply you're able to move around with the thing? Do I wear my car? My house? (In the latter case, last Wednesday I decided to wear a 100MW power station). Questions, questions...

@foone But that's called a "clit mouse", not a "nipple mouse"?

@foone I guess it was programmed by males, and we all know how hard it is for us to find the clit...

@grillchen @leyrer ha! die cloud-verbindung meines autos geht weiterhin!

@dalias @zakalwe Now you're nitpicking. My electric scooter is certainly speed-limited by the battery voltage, and as the (LiIon) voltage drops, so does top speed. Whether that matters in practice depends, but what remains is that existing solutions need to be adapted for NaIon to account for that extended voltage range, or unchanged solutions will only be able to use part of the capacity -- and I guess prices would have to be significantly lower than LFP to warrant that.

@dalias @zakalwe it matters, because with LFP, the min voltage is about 80% of the max, while with NaIon it is 38%; which means the current has to be 25% vs 166% higher for the same power at max vs min voltage. Certainly possible, but requires beefier electronics, or limiting the voltage range and thus the usable capacity.
For motors it matters because the voltage limits the speed. Might be sovable with a boost converter, which again is more electronics.

@zakalwe except they have a terrible voltage curve, 1.5-4V, which means you can't use the full capacity with current electronics and/or your need a lot more copper for the lower part of the voltage curve.

@leyrer Well, if you're among the lucky ones that did not sell Crowdstrike... Thoughts and prayers to the ones that did, tho.

@Das_blaue_Pony @GreenSkyOverMe Given that we keep hearing of attacks on same-sex couples for just walking in the street holding hands, this is either false, or homophobes have a very broad definition of "fucking".

@silverwizard yes, and most of the rest of Perl is pretty straightforward (regarding built-in function names, let's not get into the syntax)...

What I really hate about #perl is the Carp module, with "carp", "croak", "confess", "cluck" which make no sense as names, as opposed to "die" and "warn".

@silverwizard That's a shitty situation!

Maybe you can find some other BT dongle that has an external antenna?

@silverwizard No. You'd also probably need to disconnect the PCB antenna for it to work.

@silverwizard @Gammitin Here is what I could find at the moment; there was also a set of hand-labeled 4.0.1 3 1/2" disks, and since I have the 4.0 manual I think I also must have the original floppies, but where under all that dust? I also seem to remember that I had something in 5.25"...

@Gammitin Yes, and I still have the manual (and probably the floppies) around. The manual was very good and helped me build the basics of my Unix knowledge...

@gnutelephony @Gammitin I would guess NE2000 as that was the "standard" network card back then?

@tk @kaia @clerie hey, that's reserved for emacs!

@silverwizard (although getting the UUCP map software to run on any OS from this millennium might be a big task)
