>We think 9am-6pm will bring a great cadence to work

Any reason why you think this given that studies show knowledge workers can't be productive over that long a period?

About half of that will go to electricity here in the UK (23.72p per kWh). After costs that's roughly $145 a month profit. Might be more worth it if you have rooftop solar and have free electricity during the day.

>Cirencester instead

Hey. Some of us chose Chippenham instead.

I honestly don't really understand what the fuss is with it, just keep looking right and drive forward when you're free to. It makes so much more sense than multiple stop signs where each side takes it in turn.

> Lately I've been experimenting the usage of LLMs for the explainability of SQL stored procedures with exceptionally good results

Heavily agree here. LLMs have significantly shortened the time it takes me to write complex queries.

From memory at the time there was corrosion on the fixings and it would've been exceedingly expensive to repair/replace.

>...only a handful of cases in which ships equipped with Phalanx have been the subject of missile fire, and none that have actually seen the system tested.

Worth noting that this line is now out of date. Allegedly they've been tested in Yemen recently [1].

From China to the EU it adds roughly 1/3rd to the time, which is a decent proxy for cost. There are savings in not having to pay Suez fees but these don't seem to make a huge affect to shipping costs.

It's probably worth adding that going round the cape doesn't add just more cost to fuel and time, insurance for cargo down there isn't cheap either as the weather is very changeable.

>I don’t think that EV implies software overkill. I hope that some brands will carve out a niche for simple EVs with real buttons and low “smartness”.

Look to the TV sector, you can't buy a non 'smart' TV any more. I highly doubt it will be profitable for a non 'smart' electric car.

I guess the closest we have right now is the Citroen Ami?

>Everything the mainstream media says is a lie.

You've lost credibility completely with this sentence. While I'd agree that many news outlets have their biases, some hugely so, saying everything they say is a lie is just categorically wrong.

Many news outlets like Reuters and the PA have business models based around factual reporting for others.

That's not correct. Siemens energy turbines list the start up time as 10 minutes [1]. Pumped storage takes in the realm of 20 seconds [2].
