  • 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower

  • I'm guessing that would be if every muscle was being used for propulsion at any given time. You'd need to allow for heart and lungs, as well as face, neck, tail muscles that don't contribute to power output, plus legs don't provide continuous power as they need to make a return trip.

    If we really wanted to optimise a dog for power:weight there are quite a few systems we could do away with. But it would likely result in a less floofy doggo, so it's obviously not an option.

  • People who don't like math, why?

  • To add to this excellent answer, in my mind at least some of the confusion comes from trying to compare a number to a concept.

    Using the 0.999... example, that doesn't have a set numeric value as such. You cant use it in an algebraic formula to calculate a fixed result. Logically, it's a number just below 1.0, but mathematically, every time you try to make that distinction it effectively shifts the goal posts.

    It's like the old "count to infinity" bit, it's not impossible because it's a big number, it's impossible because it's not a number at all, it's a concept.

  • Looking to change to a Linux-based OS on a laptop, but I don't really understand coding so I haven't tried any of them. Is LinuxMint a good place to start?

  • This worked for me when I was first setting up Proxmox.

     
        
dd bs=1M conv=fdatasync if=./proxmox-ve_*.iso of=/dev/XYZ

  • Do you try to protect your onsite backup from fire?

    Jump

  • Yeah this is what I do. All the important or irreplaceable stuff easily fits on a USB HDD, and I leave one with a friend I visit regularly. I just run three drives total and no more than two of them are in the same place at the same time. Cheap, simple, and a good excuse to catch up.

  • Oops! All woke!

  • Always assumed it was a printer

  • Microsoft Copilot joins ChatGPT at the feet of the mighty Atari 2600 Video Chess

  • I bet Video Chess is pretty shit as an LLM too.

    Wish people would stop desperately looking for ways to write buzzword stories

  • How indeed

  • Maybe they organised a pizza lunch for the survivors

  • What's a really popular game franchise you just can't get into?

    Jump

  • Same actually, I got Witcher 3 as part of a console bundle and played it for a short period, not sure exactly how long but I got to the first of I'm sure many fights with a dragon. Found it really unintuitive, by the time I got frustrated enough to bother doing a web search I'd lost interest. Tried a couple of times after and just got the cbf's every time.

  • You're asked to vote for the food and drink that best fits the region you live in... What would you vote for?

  • Went to one the other day, no snags out the front. Devo

  • Toronto-area school bus driver seen in vehicle with ‘Lolita’s Line’ sign in window removed from route

    Jump

  • There are times when pushing societal boundaries is fine. Imho driving a school bus isn't one of them.

  • TIL there's a dollar store equivalent in the UK called "Poundland"

  • Just past Fingerville

    TIL the queen was once the weakest piece in chess until the 15th century, when her powers expanded during a time of rising female monarchs in Europe — changing the game’s pace forever.

  • They don't even mention Archon. Chess with health bars ftw

  • Speculators/inside traders betting on (more) favourable rule changes or a fat govt supply contract perhaps

  • What's the worst "corporate speak/buzzwords" that you absolutely hate?

    Jump

  • There are many but I find "let's double-click on that" particularly grating

  • Do words like 'conmunity', 'family', 'team', 'clan', 'society' 'country' etc still mean anything anymore, or are we devolving into individualistic people looking out for no 1?

  • commu>n<ity

  • What do people gain from cruelty?

    Jump

  • There's some distinction to be made too between cruelty, and just plain apathy, dissociation, or whatever (I'm tired and struggling to word today).

    When you mow down a heap of homes in Sim City you feel nothing because you're not linking your actions to a real impact on actual people. All you have in mind is that if you do it, you'll be able to use the space for something else that works better for you.

    To some people, that's how they view the world.
