Not tiny, but I have a corner desk, and I mounted big long 16 port power strips under each “wing”: Tripp Lite 16 Outlet Bench &... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000051174
Roll of very sticky Velcro tape To mount things under desk.
A “toaster” style sata adapter: I treat it like a tape drive, clunk in a “tape” (sata or spinning disk) to back up to.
British TV is doing _great_ in the streaming era: black mirror, adolescence, peaky blinders, the crown, call the midwife, derry girls, downtown abbey; and so many great police procedurals: line of duty, endeavour, the bay, Sherlock, grace; even those Harlan coben miniserieses - the ones with at least one absurd plot twist per episode - are great fun!
While I’ll be among the first to moan that we’ll never see another red dwarf, python, tinker tailor/smiley’s people, yes minister, father ted [0] .. British tv is still producing great stuff.
It’s the “bureaucrats” in the bbc who are under threat from streaming. I’m not losing sleep!
[0] made in Britain; simply could not have been made in Ireland as was.
I have a slightly crazy theory that neurodivergent folk have historically been less inclined to “stay put”, and more likely to migrate, and the US - built out of immigrants - has selected for neurodivergence. (This assumes that neurodivergence is somewhat heritable.)
Listened to this yesterday. Super enjoyable. Made the point that electricity in the future will be consumed much closer geographically to where it is generated than today - and so we probably don’t need huge interconnects - but much less close in time (because batteries).
This has considerable geopolitical implications. Fossil fuels are very mobile, so one can be flexible in siting energy-intensive industries.
But in a solar world, heavy industry will be at those places with the best solar resource. If you live in a renewable energy armpit, like say the eastern parts of Europe, your heavy industry is out of luck.
armpit? What is that supposed to mean exactly? (I consider myself a near native English speaker...)
A bad place to be in I suppose, but never heard this phasing.
That's right. It's one of the worst areas in the world for renewable energy. The solar resource is relatively bad, and away from coasts wind isn't great either.
I absolutely agree with this sentiment, directionally, but the “new car premium” in the US is really quite small - it takes way more than two years for cars to half in price, more like five years, and sixty thousand miles.
For example, a brand new Toyota sienna XLE is a little over fifty grand. Carvana have several 21-22 siennas XLE, 40-60k miles, most over forty grand. I do not understand this.
