nvm. One little pole did the trick

I can't blow up the servo, even though I've totally wrecked it.

One thing we're not short of here in Australia is space. And sunshine.

I'm not opposed to nuclear in the mix though. It's pretty incredible. And the South Koreans have done a pretty awesome job in the UAE with their reactors it sounds like.

If you're comparing nuclear reactors with solar panels though (which is tricky), depends which metric you go for. If total annual output? Then up it by almost an order of magnitude. 100km2+ would be needed to produce the same annual output as a 1GW at 90% nuclear station.

But we've a ton of land, so it makes a lot of sense.

The fact that there's an entire country mostly unaware of the utility and ubiquitousness of a simple electric kettle, blows my mind. But then again, I'm a product of the Empire (British) not a North-American.

But while the idea of using a stove top kettle (have done so in the past) is fine, the thought of using a microwave to heat up a cup of water for tea seems abhorent. (although it's really not)

I guess it came about because 110V not being as efficient? Or more American's are coffee drinkers?

And limited run it. So it there are XX orders already, then the youtube video is delisted, so only exists in paper form.

And worse (sometimes) consumed by email scanners. There's all sorts of hassles with them. Email deliverability often an issue too.

I learned I can't play Doom if I can't strafe. I'm a bot!

Not quite the same, but if you've a leaf blower, then making a hovercraft with a couple of pool noodles and a circular piece of plywood is pretty cool (and a lot of fun).

Hiroshi Sakurazaka wrote 'All you need is kill', which became Edge of Tomorrow film.

And, while not SciFi, I think Haruki Murakami's books are worth a read and might scratch and itch you didn't realise you had. Start with Norwegian Wood if you want a light intro, but then Windup Bird Chronicle next. Possibly 1Q84 after that?

Quick bug.

As an unauthed user, add a habit. Then log in. Habit has disappeared. (but can create habits, which then sync just fine to other devices)

I guess I was expecting my unauthed user habit to persist after logging in.

Now they just need to organise effectively.

But how do you organise a disparate group whose only common characteristic is that they don't believe in imaginary deities?

Had exactly the same thing in Australia when trying a 000 (Australia's emergency number) call with my Pixel 6 Pro after watching somebody run off the road and smash into a pole.

Fortunately I had the local police station number and was able to call that just fine, but not until a few failed attempts at the real emergency number.

That said, another good option is attempting to call 112. Which is an emergency number in many countries. (Works in the US too).

But yeah, it's not good.
