Denver isn't great with public transport either. There's at least a minimal light rail system and buses go pretty much everywhere, so that's the good part, but the city is so sprawled out that unless your destination is a direct route you're looking at an hour or more to exclusively use public transport. And that's really the main city. Start getting out into the expanded metro area and there's not many choices except for a handful of spur rail or bus lines.

It's a lot more than many American cities, especially on paper, but in practice it's pretty rough to use as a primary transport.

I don't know if this explanation will help because words. Using the photo plane as reference:

Two tools, a flat head screw driver wider than the vertical gap where the hook is, and a needle nose pliers. The screwdriver is going to be used to try to rotate the hook to the bottom left to clear the horizontal metal band, while squeezing the two bars midway to help bring the hook tip past the horizontal bar

Those are rotating jet turbines. To my limited knowledge there's no way to just stop them. They wind down even if they had turned them off. The very first article I found searching his name showed him approach a jet that was slowly moving across the tarmac, which obviously means the turbines were turning and not going to just immediately lock up if turned off.

I don't even know that the pilots would've seen him from the footage I saw in the one article I looked at.

According to the article, this isn't even recapturing CO2. It's grabbing plant/decomposable waste before it rots, turning it into these dense bricks, and burying it under ground. Like, collecting corn husks from farmers. This feels stupid to me and like a big gimmick.

At the time of this comment, 3 down voters. Who are these people? Anti foie gras people to the point of it being even mentioned gets a down vote? Heavy drinkers that hate French food? Ducks or geese that have opposable thumbs?

No expert but do have an electronics degree and somee EE theory courses later in life. I don't think much would happen. Don't be a direct bridge across the terminals yourself and I don't think there will be much of an issue being in the same body of water as a battery with even close proximity.

But I could be very wrong.

Yep, using one to run clipper for my 3d printer with armbian as the OS. It's been rock solid for me. There obviously some adaptation and discovery when trying to use the io as it's similar-but-not the same as the raspberry pi io and manipulating it is not the same. But it works, it was available, it was competitively cheap, and it's been stable

Plus I get to say I'm running my 3d printer on a potato

Yeah, I was texted the other day to fill out a survey and didn't even reply with the "stop to opt out". Just, leave me alone. I'm not excited for Biden but I'm going to do what I need to do. That won't show in any polls.

Devs fault, missed the deliverables promised by mid level managers and/or product owners that were impossible to meet but needed to be released anyway

Not a bitter dev who's been there/done that or anything

Except the announcement doesn't say anything like what the op link is claiming?

A plane for ants?

I really hate it when questions are put this way. Forget about need. Needs are food, water, shelter, health, etc.

Why can't we just ask, "would anyone really benefit from 1khz gaming display?" Then we can discuss the merits of the subject and whether there's actually a reason to move to it or if it's just more marketing and dick waving points.

It feels like asking if anyone "needs" it is unnecessarily loaded with snark and judgment.
