A Rivian owner was in a fender bender. The repair bill was $42,000.
It sounds like a lot more than the fender got bent then, what a stupid title.

I don't really see the advantage over a fibre connection myself.

Pretty sure this is the same with most vehicles, there's one piece of metal that goes the length of the roof.
Honestly, this just sounds like people out of touch with how expensive the repair process is.

NZ's geothermal wells offer a cheap way of storing carbon permanently — equivalent to taking 600,000 cars off the road
I'd like to know more about the actual process behind capturing CO2 from combustion and sequestering it into water. It sounds like a fascinating process.

I got six days in before I ran out of power banks, I got some good videos out of those days though.
You can also go straight to my YouTube channel to see the rest of the series.

Oof, that's not a good look for us at all.

You then have a communication system that can be shut down by fog or heavy rain though.
It's slightly less stupid in interior applications, but data centre applications will almost always be better suited to wired.

It sounds like a technology that actually works, whether it's cost effective will remain to be seen. I certainly hope for the best.

towing a kayak full of camping gear.
Reply in thread
The tow was quite steady, I had a ten metre line between me and the towed kayak, which had a bit of stretch in it.
The line doesn't typically foul like that, it will typically go past the rudder on one side or the other. I can always flip the rudder up and back down again to get the line out of the way.
Overall, the tow went better than I expected, and we made reasonable speed across.

Rotorua lakes full to bursting
Reply in thread
Yup, the one that feeds into Tararua, lake Rotomahana, where the pink and white terraces are buried, doesn't have an outfall. I think an artifical tunnel may have been built, but it doesn't normally have one.

We had a few of the big Fullers catamarans go through while we were there, it was a busy place. The Dragon's cave, the cave next to this was also awesome.

Yes, we all had our own boats. I'm going sure if a commercial operator will take you over there, it's not an easy trip, and everything needs to be planned just right in regards to tides.

Next step of the single-use plastics ban: What you need to know

Not having a replacement option available there seems very foolish, paper bags are still a thing.

Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?
I haven't run Linux myself, but I know people who have.
The Linux experience, from the outside, seemed to consist of solving problems that wouldn't exist if you just used the OS your computer came with, and being so very proud of your geek prowess, without having the self awareness to realise you're the one who broke it in the first place.
The cure seems to be growing up, having adult responsibilities, and not having the time or inclination to spend an evening un-fucking your computer.
