Even with a check card it's easy. Had that happen 2 of the last 3 times I went to Jamaica. Hotel staff obviously tried to make a couple purchases that went back to England. Found out when I got home, had the money back in my account in a few days.

Good job man! Big changes coming up for you.

You can purchase positive home pregnancy test sticks online. Literally, women who are pregnant will pee on them and then sell them to you.

The next time you get invited to dinner at another couple's house, leave one lying at the top of the waste bin in the master bedroom.

I think we all "knew" this from common-sense, but now there's scientific data to back it up:

Bit clickbaity headline there.

"EVs will barely help cut CO2 emissions in the country over the coming years, as the introduction of electric vehicles does not necessarily lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions from road traffic given the current power generation mix. The researchers carried out their calculations based on a Mercedes-Benz C 220 d diesel and the new Tesla Model 3."

So sample size of 2 vehicles used for the comparison - study's goal was to criticize EU regulations on zero emissions EV, while "ignoring" alternatives like Natural Gas and Hydrogen.

Germany, today, already has one of the highest percentages of non-nuclear renewable energy than the vast majority of industrialized nations.

The point of the article isn't that things will never change. It's that, given present-day technology, buying and driving an EV today is demonstrably worse from an emissions standpoint than buying and driving an ICE car.

Which, of course, is something that conflicts with the "common knowledge" and rhetoric surrounding plug-ins.

This article compares two middle class cars based on official metrics, the Mercedes C 220 d and the new Tesla Model 3, in terms of their consumption of diesel or Electricity. This will be based on alternative marginal energy sources for electricity and the actual electricity mix of Germany from 2018. Furthermore, a Meta-study for the CO2 Emissions are taken into account during battery production. It shows, that the CO2 -Emission of the electric motor in the favorable case by about one-tenth and in unfavorable case by a good quarter over the output of the diesel engine. The cheapest is the methane-powered internal combustion engine, which, even if one takes into account the significant pre-chain pollution in methane, by almost a third the diesel engine is located. There are two advantages to using hydrogen-methane technology. For one thing, it is the only way to save the long term excessive current peaks of wind and solar power, which is required when the Market shares of this form of renewable electricity. On the other hand It offers the possibility of a considerable CO2 already from the stand out -Saving, even if this methane comes from fossil sources.

No.. the articles goal "hey lets make methane-hydrogen a priority". And it's bad science to make a blanket statement when your sample size comparison is *1* vehicle representing ICE.

IT seems to me I have seen other studies which yielded differing results depending on how long you considered the respective vehicles would be in use. On average, BEV's could only better ICE's after a number of years of operation.

Do they account for the ease of waste-scrubbing a single power plant CO2 production versus 10 million cheating VWs?

Obviously when faced with a difficult problem the best response is to just give up. That why Im building my coal powered car. My first choice was whale oil but its hard to find in this area.

Quick question. I need a 1995 or older chassis to do a road legal turbo or K-swap in NC.
What is a 1993 Miata with a blown motor worth? The rest of the car appears to be in good shape.
I was thinking $500. I got the guy to come down to $1200, but I feel like that's still too high.

Depends on condition. I could see a super nice roller being worth $1200. They aren't exactly falling out of trees anymore.

Unusual question for hardcore networking folks:

Let's say that I have two separate internet connections coming into a room. In that room, I have a machine which is critical to my operation. It's a standard Windows PC. I'd like to make it so that even if one connection goes down, I can still remotely access the machine via the other.

If I add a second NIC to the machine, and connect it to both networks, with all of the appropriate gateway / DNS / etc info, will the machine work normally?

What's causing me some difficulty in conceptualizing is trying to comprehend how, for any given outbound connection, the machine will figure out whether to use Network A or Network B.
