Cops will leave their engines running because they may have to go into service at a moment notice. Not sure if I entirely agree the half second to fire up is going to slow their response considerably, but I’d error on the side of an exception for emergency equipment.

Yeah I’m not thinking so much stopping at lights and in traffic for this application, but something like if the parking brake is engaged and 15-30 seconds pass, then engine turns off. As the trucker in this thread noted, sometimes they’ll hop out expecting a quick stop and it balloons into 15 minutes of idle waiting on other people. Then there’s the drivers who will let the truck idle while getting loaded/unloaded just for climate controls… And thinking at scale saving even just a gallon, multiplied across a whole fleet, could be a big impact.

Of course there’s more thought to put in for secondary systems, but just strikes me as something that should be considered.

That’s not an idling engine if it’s actively working to keep product cool.

I’ve often wondered why trucks can’t have a stop+start system integrated like many cars have these days. Wouldn’t need to be a conscious action to kill the engine, just something that happens automatically when they park up.

Is it too distasteful to make this into a meme? I can’t take this seriously at all.

I wonder how it feels when VTEC kicks in on a literal rocket

Trump team is already walking it back after they started taking preorders and a journalist found the model. They’re now claiming they meant to say it could eventually be made in America. It’s a $170 Chinese phone they’re marking up to $500

I believe the Made in USA Labeling Act passed 2021 would prevent following the Moto X approach of just final assembly, but I suppose it’s up to trump’s FTC to make the final call regardless, easy enough for them to issue an exception.

Specifically:

it is an unfair or deceptive act or practice within the meaning to label any product as Made in the United States unless the final assembly or processing of the product occurs in the United States, all significant processing that goes into the product occurs in the United States, and all or virtually all ingredients or components of the product are made and sourced in the United States.

“a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States.”

Alright, so clearly this is a bald-face lie? How the hell can they claim this? What kind of made in america SOC are they using?

npm is having issues as well with publish and installs. Fun fun day.

Honestly I’ll disable linting across entire files during these kinds of refactors because it’s annoying having build output littered with unused imports and format warnings while I’m still working on a solution. Requires some extra diligence to re-enable and clean up before pushing though.

The first steps to Real Steel, I’m in

I can understand the medical advances this opens, but I hope there can be non implant options for more “casual” options. I’ve found Gabe’s brain interface research fascinating for years- and it feels so sci-fi we’re talking about real applications now.

Kbin/mbin already surfaces votes, third party apps can easily show them as well. This is an intrinsic behavior of activitypub and people should know how easy it is to expose that data.

This is damn excellent, nice job! If you haven’t, please consider reaching out to the notesnook devs with this, feels like something that could be added to their docs.

My house rules don’t have an explicit rule - go ahead and pick Oddjob - but know we will loudly judge you and team up to ensure that mistake doesn’t happen again.

Returning and finding everything done is equally suspicious. That’s when you have to take a closer look and discover what spaghetti made it through peer review.
