If you don’t mind paying to use a search engine, Kagi is actually pretty good. Not as good as Google was 20 years ago, but significantly better than any other search engine I can find today.

If you are worried, a qualified medical practitioner is always more reliable than a web forum.

Insufficient or poor quality sleep can cause problems with attention and memory, and can exacerbate existing conditions.

Poor sleep could be caused by a medical condition (sleep apnoea), or psychological (stress). Often stress can be hard to identify, particularly if it’s long term stress.

Again, this might not be your problem, and finding the right doctor who actually listens to you is important. Don’t be afraid to try more than 1 doctor if the first makes you uncomfortable.

It hasn’t happened to me, but passengers have been severely injured before.

An example of a minor incident.

Listen to the safety briefing. They wouldn’t bother telling you if it wasn’t important.

Keep your seatbelt on for the entire flight. The pilots can’t always predict turbulence, and hitting the ceiling hurts.

That would be a great idea, and could even help combat climate change.

A better comment would be delay in seconds as that is the one thing not obvious from glancing at the code.

I’m honestly surprised it’s set to fall. I thought we were still increasing fossil fuel use.

I think your previous comic link is linking to an older comic than desired.

Thanks for making these, it’s been really making my day for quite a while now.

Faced a loose Pitbull when walking the streets on my own. It wasn’t until then that I realised a dog is completely capable of killing me and there would be nothing I could do to stop it.

Fortunately, it turned out to be quite friendly, and the owners came looking for it a few minutes later.

I’m Australia people with a disability card are permitted to park like this if all of the disability parks are full. The card is displayed in the front window, so it wouldn’t be visible from this angle.

It’s about time.

The forum post you were referring to.

I think that was when he walked in.

Interesting. From Nissan:
“The recommended service interval of the factory-fill coolant is 200 000km (125 000 miles) or 15 years, whichever comes first. Subsequent replacement … should occur every 80 000km (48 000 miles) or 4 years, whichever comes first.”

I guess I’ll put that on my calendar.

It’s a Nissan Leaf, generally known for it’s battery overheating issues.

I also have the refreshed model of the Leaf. It has a higher density battery pack with more tightly spaced cells and still no battery cooling. It will overheat if driven more than 600km (400mi) in one day. When hot, the rapid charging speed drops to about 20kW.

Interesting. I guess my 2011 Nissan Leaf would be an outlier then. It’s lost some range, but I think it will keep working for me for at least another 10 years.

What’s your definition of consumable?

I would have thoughy that recycling almost 100% of a battery into new batteries would be considered renewable.

I’m fairly certain my car doesn’t have a coolant system, but thanks for the reminder. I often forget these sorts of things.

I have not heard of any manufacturer recomending a battery replacement. If you can find any sources I would love to read them.

Historically, electric cars have caught fire much less often than petrol cars (even accounting for the lower number of EV’s on the road). Most of these have been from a single battery manufacturing line and caused by a single misaligned robot that placed the battery terminals too close together. These batteries have all been recalled under warranty.

There are battery types that are better for grid storage than hydrogen. One of the main drawbacks of hydrogen storage is its low round trip efficiency of around 30%.

Redox flow batteries are easily scalable, liquid metal batteries have very low maintenance costs and long lifespans, and sodium ion batteries are much cheaper than lithium ion batteries. It will be interesting to see if any of these options make mass market.
