Origin
early 17th century (as school slang, in the sense ‘Friday on which an examination is held’). The shopping sense dates from the 1960s and was originally used with reference to congestion created by shoppers; it was later explained as a day when retailers’ accounts went from being ‘in the red’ to ‘in the black’.
This is undesirable in the same way shipping water via trucks is a lot less efficient than using pipes.
For some use cases where electricity doesn't work, trucks with e.g. methane could work. For everything else it's just way to inefficient to convert, store, transport and then convert it again.
Same issue with hydrogen - from source to force applied in a car, it's 22% efficient, compared to 79% for an EV.
We are already working hard on this: .nl is the country with the lowest average CO2 emmissions per new car sold in the EU (and thus also nitrogen most likely). We're finally building decent amounts of wind turbines (still a shame that we dutch don't lead in this).
Should we condone IT people being laid off taking down websites, ddossing their ex-epmployers and random other loosely related sites/services just because they're pissed off?
(Well, can't close the info screen after opening it, only way I could get rid of it was reloading the page which resets progress. Other than that worked fine)
Gaming. Though that's usually not done at 100% brightness. IIRC my mbp with geforce 750 came with a 90W adapter, but that would also not be enough when running the 45W CPU and the 35-40W GPU at max with ram and screen power usage.
I'm not sure if I can make the 35B-A3B work with my 32GB machine
