I’m in the PNW and pay about US$0.17/kWh at home, but for the data center rates, they charge based on peak usage because that’s how they size cooling and generator backups. Guaranteed redundant power and networking is just a lot more expensive than residential power.

I’ve been measuring my server rack’s power usage, and it usually sits at around 500W with a 1U + 2U server (and GPU). My plan for the 1U has been to colocate it, but it’s an extra $25/month for each 100W increment, so I’ve been trying things like lowering the CPU power limit to save some money. Apparently turning my 200W EPYC CPU down to 150W barely makes a difference in my workloads, but that 50W is enough to save me quite a bit.

Probably closer to 800W based on OP’s usage.

They’re probably fine for lug bolts at least, the studs are big enough an extra 10-20 ft-lbs would still be in a safe range. If they haven’t broken a stud in 25 years, it’s probably never going to happen.

In some applications it’s required, but not usually with lug nuts. The main one I can think of is Honda crankshaft bolts say to put oil on the washer and bolthead surface before torquing, and the torque spec is adjusted accordingly (still 181 ft-lbs tho!).

The most I ever do for lug nuts is just wire brush off any rust so the surface is clean, and re-torque after about 100 miles (I check them occasionally after spirited driving too, since hot brakes and things cause thermal expansion that can loosen things up on newly installed wheels). I don’t drive somewhere with salt, otherwise I’d maybe try using anti-seize like I saw someone else mention.

I can’t think of a single reason a humanoid robot would need to move that fast that isn’t war related… Literally any other application, like warehouse robots sorting oddly shaped items, would just be cheaper to use wheels and just keep the arms for dexterity

How is this the first time I’ve heard of a feature like this… It’s really cool. This basically seems like technology from VR research determining what makes people motion sick and how to work around it. It makes perfect sense it could apply to other screens as well.

Edit: I wish there was more info on it… the implementation seems like it’s proprietary and I can’t find any research papers about it. MuteMotion also seems to be a name used by some sign language translation software.

Backblaze is definitely losing money on you every year, so good luck finding an alternative. I pay $100+/month just in power and network costs to have my own hardware colocated in a real data center, and that’s saving me money compared to renting 200TB anywhere else.

Well, the Wikipedia article listing oil spill sizes is in Tonnes, so it sure is useful knowing how many barrels /s

They aren’t going to scrub the open source history… You can always just use the last version of whatever before the age check is added, but also there’s plenty of people who are just going to release versions without the age checks… There’s already https://agelesslinux.org/

That sounds about right to me. Some places will sell 93 AKI/100 RON in the US, but it’s not as common, and the only cars that actually require it are probably modified turbocharged cars. Most US commuter cars run perfectly fine on 87 AKI and it’s significantly cheaper. I live in Washington so for some reason they sell 92 AKI gasoline, which is an oddball number I don’t see anywhere else.

Yeah, I had to go check… There’s activity on the repo as far back as 2016. I was pretty sure people have already ported the entire thing into a Kerbal Space Program mod too so you can reenact the Apollo 11 mission with the real flight computer.

You’re probably thinking of 95 RON gasoline, but US pumps advertise gasoline in AKI. 95 RON is equivalent to 91 AKI, which is what they’re selling as “Supreme” in the OP photo.

FreeFillableForms works regardless of your income or if you have other unconventional things to claim. It’s just a bit more manual than some of the other apps, but does support e-File. I find the instructions are pretty easy to follow though, especially if you can reference your previous year’s return.

I think it depends on where they’re turned off. In Signal itself you can change it to remove the message text from the notification, or a few other variations.
If you just have notifications off on your phone in general, the notification is still being generated by the app and could potentially be stored somewhere on a server before being filtered out by your phone.

Damn… we all should have known elon can’t spell.

The main thing is there’s no big engine in the front, so your entire hood can now be a crumple zone, and it’s easier to design to be safe in impacts. The center of gravity is also much lower so there’s a lower chance of a rollover.

On the other hand… Tesla’s have a habit of locking their occupants inside when the car is on fire because SOMEONE decided mechanical latches were too expensive.

And as others have mentioned… the added weight also makes it less safe for everyone else outside the car.

I think a lot of it is humans are used to maps formed by tectonic plates shifting, glaciers forming and melting, storms and other weather, etc… When it’s just an RNG heightmap it’s missing all those familiar features like rivers, mountains, and dry lakebeds

It is I, Arthur, King of the Britons!

Actually looking more at this image it looks like these are a little closer to a motorcycle side-car design. It’s basically the same concept though, but it could have a different local name in the Philippines.
