  • Much easier/cheaper to maintain on farmland. Just stop growing stuff for biofuel. (Or grow crops underneath!

  • Why will a cop arrest you if your in a ridable mower going down the street drunk? How is that a DWI when while you may be drunk you will not hurt anyone?

  • A lawnmower literally has spinning blades on it! Don't operate while drunk!

  • Ale Elementals (Alementals)!

    There is a Drunken Master Monk so powerful that they are weakening the barriers between the material plain and an outer plain of booze.

    This manifests as inebriated Alementals appearing in brewery's and distillers and causing havoc before dispersing back to their home plane.

    ....

    Less sinister, but potentially hilarious. (Cause could be changed if you wanted something more sinister)

  • Energy efficiency of various transport modes

    Jump

  • Train stations require train lines between them, that's the crux of the issue.

    There is research into electric/hydrogen planes.

  • nice sign

  • It's rare to replace a car with a bike though. You replace journeys instead, so end up with a lot of the fixed(ish) costs anyway.

    Saves me loads on my commute though.

  • The creative software industry has declared war on Adobe

    Jump

  • True, but more competitors should mean the max price they can charge is lower. (Assuming no collusion/buyouts)

  • I just ran their docker compose and it worked out of the box

  • Remember BACKUPS!

  • Energy efficiency of various transport modes

    Jump

  • There is actually a rocket that does this (the Electron). Uses batteries to power the fuel pumps, drops them as it goes up.

  • Energy efficiency of various transport modes

    Jump

  • Weight. As you burn down fuel, the plane gets lighter, so requires less fuel/energy for the remaining distance.

    With a battery powered plane, the battery is just as heavy all the time. It also has less energy density. This means wayyy less range with current tech.

  • Blue Origin's New Glenn put a customer satellite in the wrong orbit during its third launch

    Jump

  • It's a numbers game on rocket reliability. You pay slightly more for your launch, but if it goes bang, you get a big cheque from the insurance.

    For the known launchers, their reliability is pretty known, and newer (or recently exploded) launchers often give cheap/free launches while they are effectively testing things - helps make up for the pricy insurance.

  • Travelodge gave stranger key to couple's room

    Jump

  • There was another story recently where someone got sexualy assaulted because they gave some random person their room key.

    Continuation from that I assume.

  • Give 'em the BEANS

    Jump

  • I have given up with beans, the deer always eat them ☹️

    Need to move somewhere where I can get a fence!

  • Space insurance exists.

  • Backblaze silently redefines 'unlimited' backups and users discover it's not backing up DB and OD — as firm leans heavier into AI storage services, changes could signal shift away from home backups

    Jump

  • Backblaze is way cheaper than most 'standard' cloud storage though?

  • What do you want out of a coding monospace font?

    Jump

  • When you said 'paid' I was thinking £5, not £50 (for the basic version!)

  • El Salvador publishes law allowing life sentences for minors as young as 12

  • The idea is that they can keep you for life if you are never safe to release.
