  • Wow, the US education system must be improved.

    I pay my electric bill by the kWh too, and I don’t live in the US. When it comes to household and EV energy consumption, kWh is the unit of choice.

    1J is 3600Wh.

    No, if you’re going to lecture people on this, at least be right about facts. 1W is 1J/s. So multiply by an hour and you get 1Wh = 3600J

    That’s literraly the same thing,

    It’s not literally the same thing. The two units are linearly proportional to each other, but they’re not the same. If they were the same, then this discussion would be rather silly.

    but the name is less confusing because people tend to confuse W and Wh

    Finally, something I can agree with. But that’s only because physics is so undervalued in most educational systems.


  • Had a similar phone, my gameboy was a couple of gens older, and I never played pokemon… But I remember when my friends got their ps2s and I listened to both albums on my commute yesterday… Wtf happened? 2005 was yesterday!

    Where’s the mini-skirt made of snake skin? And who’s the other guy that’s singing in Van Halen? When did reality become TV? Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows (on the radio?)

    Really fucked up thing is, that song came out in 2004, and is about a woman remembering 1985, like we’re remembering 2005… It’s already been a year more for us than her.





  • Also he’s doing 270 going into a stretch limited to 120. IDK what German traffic laws are like, but the image I have of Germany is that you guys have even harsher punishments than us in Denmark. If you did 270 in a 120 in DK, you’d get a 2000€ fine (15000DKK), as well losing both your license and your car. You might even get jail time.

    What’s even worse is that as a foreigner (maybe not a Schengen citizen, but definitely Americans) we don’t trust you to pay the fine, so you’d be detained until you get the money. I’ve seen policeshows where foreigners are even driven to ATMs, and it seems a bit like extortion.







  • Same in DK, and my comment was meant to underline that. If you see a drone and no operator is around, then something is definitely wrong.

    I mean, years ago, I had a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ drift away, on account of my own inexperience and stupidity. This was right when it had just come out, and way before drone licenses and laws forbidding drone flights in populated areas. So no laws were broken; and it was done with no malicious intent… But these days?

    Not even the DK police, who have some very well-trained drone operators, can fly their drones out of sight.

    Seeing a drone with no operator once? Something might have gone wrong, let’s not judge too harshly, but seeing a drone with no operator regularly? On your property? If you have a hunting permit, a shotgun, and a clear shot, then it might be a good time to practice your anti air skills.
