Ignition had different boost sounds for each car.

Forsaken was pretty similar to Descent.

Access road.

I don't know an English term for it, but in Danish we call them pork chip properties because of the shape. It happens when someone splits their property to make a second house in the previous backyard.

I don't think it's required to be a professor to tell this. It's pretty obvious that a 2 ton car is worse for the climate than a 15 kg bicycle. They also do completely different things though.

The article seems to bash on electric cars for no particular reason.

You know what would be even more environmentally friendly than even bicyling to work? Staying at home. Working from home could save a lot more and doesn't require infrastructural investments.

Anyway, the percentages mentioned are still quite low. It would make a larger difference to focus on other kinds of transport than personal vehicles.

There are larger fish to catch. One of them is the ships. A lot of them transport fuel. Changing personal transport to electric cars, regardless of how efficient they are or not, will also have the effect of lowering the amount of fuel to be shipped around. The environmental impact of distributing fuels is larger than the impact of personal vehicles, so by all means, we should change as many industries and transport forms to electricity instead of fuel, including personal vehicles.

This will be he same as when he had to call the Mexican president to beg him to say that they'd pay for the wall.

Give your nickel to Wikipedia.

Tl;dr: 6000 BCE in ancient Iraq. It predates money, so they'd pay in whatever they used the land for.

It's perfectly good for things where you don't need an accurate answer, but just can't be bothered to do yourself. A good question would be like "I'm going on a weekend trip to Paris with my wife. Give me two choices with differently priced options for schedules Friday to Monday with the main attractions.. both options should be less than €500"

It'd take about a weekend to do that research manually with any search engine. AI can deliver it within minutes. So, forget about having it do fool proof explicit programming, in which it would fail. It's force is in doing cumbersome mondane stuff fast.

I think the AI hype will die when it gets enshittified enough.

At first they'll start injecting sponsored results, then it's going to be pay up or watch 3 adds before access, while still showing the product-placed content regardless.

Companies will be offered a "professional subscription" just to use it without the first two ads.

Right now, it's free, because they want people to get addicted to he ease of answers that was previously supplied by search engines.

At no point will they ever generate the content that people are searching for. Googles main mission is to obstruct people from getting that.

Best case, wiith enough competition, AI is just going to be another layer to see through, because previous versions of the internet has been made unusable by advertising.

Hope they are ready.

They young or the fascists? Because the fascists don't look to be in much shape for a proper beating.

blur - wembley (self.music)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by bstix to c/music@beehaw.org
 

Now, I've been to many concerts and even several blur concerts, but this one felt .. special. Even better than the Hyde park concerts 10+ years ago. Anyone else there?

To me it was like watching their proudest achievement and also delivering on it. Maybe I'm just in awe of the brimfull Wembley stadium shouting along on Park Life, but it definitely felt like this was the final grand stadium concert. I've seen Aerosmith, Green Day, Guns'n'Roses and other larger bands on a full arenas before, but those didn't even come close to this. Despite everything being extremely professionally and on time, they managed to break the wall between the stage and the 90000 in audience.

I'm not even a blur fan as such, but I do acknowledge that their contribution to music is way way underappreciated, or maybe it actually isn't?

The warm-ups sucked, but I think those were a local thing, but the main band really came across brilliantly. I dunno..this was beyond just great, and I have no hopes of ever seeing anything this grand again.

et lille tip til hækklipning (self.selvgjortvelgjort)
submitted 2 years ago by bstix to c/selvgjortvelgjort
 

Jeg vil gerne dele et tip, fordi jeg kan se at mange her i nabolaget åbenbart ikke kender det.

De fleste gør sådan: Hækken klippes, affaldet rives sammen, bunkerne læsses på trillebør og trillebøren tømmes på traileren, og til sidst skal traileren tømmes med rive, kost og skovl på genbrugspladsen.

Nej nej nej, prøv lige at høre her:

Det vigtigste redskab til hækklipning er ... 2 stk. presseninger. De billige fra Harald Nyborg kan fint bruges.

Den ene pressening lægges i traileren. Den skal bare ligge der.

Den anden lægges under hækken der hvor du klipper. På den måde falder affaldet direkte ned på presseningen. Når den er godt fuld, så løfter man lige alle hjørner og slæber den over på traileren. Hvis der meget så kan man lige vende den og fortsætte med næste del af hækken. Alternativt kan man købe flere presseninger og bare smide dem alle på traileren.

Ellers, når traileren er fuld, så køres der til genbrugspladsen hvor hele læsset kan trækkes ud med trailer-presseningen og vendes over på pladsen.

På den måde slipper man for at have fat i det flere gange for at læsse det på, det er utroligt nemt at få læsset af igen, og traileren er stadigvæk pæn og ren bagefter. Det sparer mig for ca. en times arbejde.

God fornøjelse med hækklipningen.

 

My neighbours won't appreciate it.

 
 

Full recap of the four day skateboarding event CPH Open 2023 by Flatspot Magazine.

 

My Formula 4s got flat spots, sounding like a moped when I ride the bowl. I'm looking for larger sizes from 56mm upwards. I need mostly for very smooth surfaces and high speed, but sometimes also rougher concrete. I don't have a need for ultra soft wheels.
