It’s always been possible to cheat your way through school but as more and more people start cheating it just is going to further worsen the quality of college graduates

The goal is apathy. How can I put in the absolute minimum amount of effort to not get fired with the mindset that if I did get fired it wouldn’t be the end of the world. It generally comes from feeling like you aren’t appreciated or properly compensated from your job.
I think the guy from office space with the “work just hard enough to not get fired” sums it up perfectly
It’s not a new concept as office space made a joke about it in the 90s but it’s a current buzzword and becomes more applicable as the gap between C suites and average employees continues to grow
It’s doing the bare minimum, sometimes below the minimum so that they have to fire you. Like how you would act if your boss yelled at you for no reason and you no longer care about your job.
Would you prefer housing where they harvest enough data to subsidize the cost of it?
By uniting church and state they can claim that “beezlebubs intermediate School of the Damned” goes against the official religious doctrine so it is banned but “holy Christ of the saints of Peter school for conservative belief” is allowed and gets taxpayer dollars
There are some branches of government you can try and put that on, like soldiers who joined to “serve their country” and end up in a war in a country that they didn’t belong into, but ICE literally only does one thing like they have been worse lately but that’s because they can without consequences
Every safety system I can think of with nuclear power would work in low gravity environments as you don’t want to risk pieces of equipment getting stuck or going only 9.8 m/s so pressurized fluid, springs, and magnets are used. The concern I see is how you shed waste heat without an atmosphere
For low travel areas slower charging and batteries make a lot more sense as the investment in ultra fast charging is not viable and I don’t see that changing
I think regulatory inertia Is always going to be a problem but if we are regularly adding charging stations it will get faster as power companies have an incentive to build them and you get staff trained up on them
Gas stations can still have single point failures for example if their underground tank gets contaminated or damaged and they don’t have a back up and electric doesn’t need to have single point failures you can run them in parallel with breakers able to isolate portions of the system and have redundant transformers
EV works best if most people charge at home/work and people only charge in public if they don’t have the ability to do it at home or they are on a long drive. So you don’t need to meet the same cars per hour as gas stations.
I don’t see a world where fast charging is as cheap as slower charging just due to increased losses and more expensive equipment so I believe having 10 500kw chargers would be a better investment than 6 1MW chargers even though technically the MW chargers have a larger throughput they are more expensive to produce/run and have more issues if for example 8 people arrive at once
Electricity is not my forte so correct me if I’m wrong but if you had a long gap in cars using the charger a capacitor would quickly become saturated. Which means you would need more wattage going to the capacitor at all times. Whereas with a battery if you have a car on a 5 minute charger with 5 minutes in between you could pretty easily run 500kW constantly to the battery and then as the battery dropped in level you could slowly ramp up the power draw
It doesn’t need to be, high voltage transmission lines can run 1000s of MW then you can use a transformer to step the voltage to what you need and then use a rectifier bridge to convert to DC.
The problem I see is the effect of trying to turn on and off 1MW power from a grid could cause problems so the battery could work a bit as an expansion tank to smooth out grid power, so that you always charge it at 100KW and if you need to increase supply you can slowly increase your power draw without shocking the grid.
At the end of the day I personally think 1MW charging is overkill and a 10 minute charge time is a perfectly reasonable goal
To be fair this is the first thing he’s done that seems actually reasonable. The EU has banned a lot of the synthetic food dyes already and at the end of the day I can’t think of any situation where we actually need these food dyes. Like oh no my hot sauce won’t be as bright in color and might actually look like it’s made of peppers
It is hard to get a light EV when the batteries themselves are around 1/10 the energy density of gasoline and people want them to have a longer range than a gas car to make up for charging so you end up with a battery that’s 500-1000lbs. To put that into perspective a Miata weighs around 2000lbs
You don’t have to get up because another person gets on, for priority seats they are reserved for those with “special needs” I.e. the elderly or disabled. But it’s common courtesy everywhere to offer your seat to an older/disabled/pregnant passenger.
People should also absolutely be judged for disturbing the peace if you want to talk to your friend on the train you talk in a quiet respectful volume there is no need to talk loud enough everyone around you can hear it.
The Japanese just generally have a respect for rules and for not negatively affecting other people
If you block the radio waves then isn’t that accomplishing the same thing as overloading it with radio waves?
Which will raise weight, costs, and reduce functionality. It’s like a U lock for a bicycle it’s not impenetrable it just raises the bar
Wasn’t Benedict Arnold a straight up traitor? I feel like Neville chamberlain is more accurate as Biden just kept giving concessions and appeasements
