Simple as, just divide your mile into a grid of 25.298221281347034655991148355462 x 25.298221281347034655991148355462

At least here in America if these hugely important open source projects are in need of support we should have some grant money for them to keep these hugely economically important things moving, particularly if the foundation/engineers are based in the US as that makes it much easier but I would encourage other regions to do the same if they don't already. Some things are too important to leave to charity alone.
The cost of these things breaking can far outweigh what the cost to keep them maintained would. The total economic cost of just this particular incident? Millions? Hundreds of millions?
There is a really good case that public sector unions should not exist and I am generally a pro-union type of person but the dynamics of public vs private sector just don't make sense, the negative factors unions try to correct for are already baked into statutes. Police unions really bear a good portion of the negative opinions law enforcement has today.
I mean Republicans have always been MMT believers, debt don't matter. Remember boaters for Trump? Bring-On-Another-Trillion. I'll see myself out.
We need to get to the moon before the Democrats put it in school and then trans it! Also there are illegal immigrants on the moon that need to be deported, Joe Biden put them there himself!
Please one more time fall for the only two scaremongering issues we have left!
Is the argument here really "EV's don't work because I can;t currently take one to my cabin in the bush 400mi away?" Is it 2009 again all over?
1. The 2/sqkm areas of Canada can just use gas for awhile longer, we have so much work to do before we gotta get to them. Priorities and all, is this a real argument?
2. Getting chargers is actually easier because presumably they already have electricity!
Absolutely amazing, Republicans have ceded the concept of American hegemony and being a leader on the world stage to Democrats; along with Freedom of Speech, the NFL, affordable energy and even domestic beer.
Now we can't even get Republicans to fight Russians when they are acting like Red Dawn style cartoon villains. Like I don't think you're a Russian agent but yet Putin could come into your house and fuck your mother and you would just cry and say "no foreign wars"
Unironically agree completely, all those terms have been tortured to death.
Words losing and changing meanings though is actually a piece of what 1984 is about.
Also added to the camps lesson plan: what is socialism, 1A vs freedom of speech and what authoritarianism means.
Perchance what party and political figures do you support again so I can contextualize these claims against me character?
Camps now also include hyperbole as a lesson.
I had to give that guy the ol "Look, it's not your fault, I know you got a job to do. I don't envy you having to do this."
Seriously, between ATT, WoW, Frontier, CenturyLink my old neighborhood and my new one they really are finally pulling fiber everywhere it seems. Not good if you're the cable company. On top of that whenever anyone on Nextdoor complains about the cable co most people tell them to go to a fixed wireless plan if they don't game.
Really? Cell phone coverage today compared to 20, 10 years, Coverage ago is almost universal at this point.
Same with chargers and that's with half of America trying to stop their progress. Imagine once we really put some effort into it. An astounding number of DC fast chargers came online in 2025
Also we finally are starting to break that paradigm that EV chargers must emulate petrol stations. New homes pretty much all are getting the circuitry for an EV charger installed, more apartments are installing them, more shopping centers etc. It's just wires! It's all just wires!
Also never safe to assume "things will stay the way they are forever".
For my case though we have the past decade to prove a trend:
Batteries have gotten cheaper
Batteries have gotten denser
Battery lifetime has proven to be almost a non-issue
Batteries have gotten safer
Charge times have gotten faster
Ranges have increased
Prices have fallen
More chargers are installed
Why would we expect these advancements to suddenly stop? Particularly when there is profit motives driving them forward?
Also, you know, Ukraine is headed into winter. Life will not be pleasant.
Also they have said this every winter for the past what, 4 winters now? This time though, this will be the one. Also very funny to think they imagine winter stops at the border of the two nations.
Real computer scientists like having a computer on their desk, else how could they read their mail?
