“Fast charging” has 4 conductors.

You say that, but you pay a premium for these things to be generally less efficient. Why waste?

We have a fee-free bank-to-bank transfer system that is based on pre-digital technology that takes 2-3 business days. We often call it “direct deposit” or automated clearing house (ACH). It’s often used for payroll and paying bills.

Now, we could probably make this payment system instantaneous relatively effortlessly (and thus useful for regular in-store purchases), but the banks lobby against this so they can continue to charge us fees and interest to over-use credit cards. (Interestingly enough, credit and debit cards all use direct deposit on the backend to actual transfer funds between parties).

This is all fine and dandy for most people because they simply can’t imagine doing things a more consumer-friendly way.

40 days backpacking 800 Miles on the Arizona Trail.

Walking from Utah to Mexico, in November with gradually decreasing daylight. Lots of night hiking.

True story, rabbits are prey animals, so it takes work to build confidence in them as pets.

But the thumbnail is peak Youtube. Just needs the bunny to grin like Mr Beast.

I have a headlamp that’s basically just a metal case wrapped around an 18650 cell and it is quite insane.

It’s not a “right now” problem for anyone with a lifetime of savings to insulate them.

U cute

Sounds like 18 beautiful years of aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh together.

Anon needs to try doing 100 pushups, 100 situps and running a 5k everyday.

Guy was quick thinking.

The bombs falling on their heads didn’t help.

Amerikabomber never came to be.

Allies won because the entire US industrial capacity was an ocean away from the front.

1. The growth of online advertising revenue slowed in 2022 for the first time since 2009.It still grew, just slower.

2. Interest rates went up.

3. With the collapse of crypto and Silicon Valley Bank (which was overleveraged in crypto), VC money isn’t as free flowing. There really wasn’t that much institutional money in crypto, but it’s still a destablizing force and has had a ripple effect.

4. AI is making more people aware of bots. This is related to point #1. A huge, unknown percentage of of FAANG revenue is selling online ads to bots instead of real eyeballs and once the word gets out, ad revenue will slow even more for any service depending on online ads (eg reddit).
