Could it be that it’s using less power as it charges? ie automatically shuts off power hungry features while charging?

Good data is so hard to get.

What I’d actually care about is how many minutes of usage does 30 minutes of charging get me in both standard and ekeing out as much life as I can mode.

This is the level of critical thinking that conservative pundits are exercising.

The idea behind tariffs is to increase the prices of imports so that domestic production can compete. Higher prices are definitely the point, but the idea is that at least with domestic production the price increases get circulated back into the domestic economy as jobs/wages. But, if the domestic economy can increase production without increasing wage expenditure then the money from the higher prices just goes to the shareholders.

If it’s something for which there is no domestic production, it’s just a tax, and it should become a question of what does money from the tariffs get used for… probably taxcuts for the rich.

I agree that the problem is not with him being on the ballot, the problem is that it seems an enormous portion of the population of the USA are willing to vote for him.

Remember the Alarmo

Seems pretty sexist to even ask.

When was the last time trump shot a gun?

I look at your diagram and see:

ϴ= L/(L+R)

And

2π-ϴ = L/R

I solved those (using substitution, then the quadratic formula) and got

L= π-1 ± √(1+π²) ~= 5.44 or -1.16

Whether or not a negative length is meaningful in this context is an exercise left to the reader

Giving (for L=5.44):

ϴ~= 0.845 ~~48.4° 

I’m surprised that it solved to a single number, maybe I made a mistake.

Ha! my buddy asked me how my patent was coming along last night. Cringe.

Ah yes, the best military is the one full of “alphas”, where nobody let’s anyone else tell them what to do.

I live in Canada, and I have neighbours HERE that watch CNN.

The mayor is wearing a hardhat and loafers. Clearly needs training on appropriate ppe.

Yeah that sounds like what was explained to me

I needed to upgrade my modem because the isp capped the speed of docsis 3.0 modems to like 75Mbps. I remember being quite upset because I was previously getting 125Mbps service on the same modem. I seem to recall there was a quasi legit technical reason for it though.

Not who you’re responding to but I must vehemently disagree. In English, which doesn’t have a centralized governing body, the correct way of pronouncing/spelling something depends on your intention and expected audience. If your intended audience is English speakers then the correct spelling is probably octopi or octopuses, whichever you believe will cause the least confusion/distraction (surely it varies regionally).

However, usually my intention is to portray my unfathomably superior knowledge and intellect, so the correct spelling/pronunciation in this case is: octopodes (which I think he had listed but ironically got ‘corrected’ to ‘octopuses’).

It’s not, but it seems Argentina doesn’t think people should be allowed to own their phones.

I agree that that’s probably what it’s trying to say, but I don’t think it actually says that.

I don’t think that there’s a higher concentration of morons in academia than in larger society. However, their professional experience is pretty different from the so called ‘real world’ so they definitely can have some unfathomable blind spots.

Meta has accused the company of operating as a surveillance-for-hire outfit.

What?

I don’t read much (/any) academic writing, but does it really misuse words the way the link portrays?

Eg

• academic writing isn’t prose, like that’s almost the definition of prose.
• intra-specialized doesn’t mean anything (the intra prefix didn’t work on adjectives)
• “obfuscating … accessibility” means making it difficult to see that it is accessible, where the author probably actually wants to say “reducing the ability of outsiders to access the meaning”

I get that it is satire, but imo it would be better satire if he put in the work to actually make it mean something. Unless the point is that academic writers misuse thesauruses this badly.

I think that reporting on assassination attempts of the US president is probably suppressed.
