Then you've read incorrectly. SpO2 under 90% is a sign of underlying health problems that can cause long term issue without any distress.

You're looking at this as an acute symptom of trauma to the body. It's the wrong way to go researching about this. Instead think of it more like obesity, it's a long term factor of health problems. Do those searches and you'll find SpO2 as an advanced indicator that is best measured not felt.

If you ever look into VPPs all those questions will be answered, and will be answered to your satisfaction as well. No they won't drain your battery by any more than the explicit amount you permit them to.

And that is a problem, not a benefit. There is far FAR more to running a grid than providing a large baseload. This isn't the 1890s anymore. In fact a large VPP would be a great thing to combine with a *small* nuclear plant.

What makes your electrons worth so much more than the market value?

Your bill is not made up by wholesale power costs, or even retail power costs. It's made up of a myriad of different line items, only one of them here is running in reverse. You don't pay consumers for the cost of maintaining infrastructure to their houses, even when they export power back to you.

False, the infrastructure was paid for the utilities. At best you can claim no new infrastructure was required as part of this as it used existing infrastructure.

In the UK you can get a tariff that pays the spot price for electricity when you export to the grid. I've looked at it, but overall it's actually slightly better to take the flat feed-in rate, at least from what I can tell from historic data.

People in the UK do this and it works out quite well for them. They get a cheap overnight rate that is a little under half the rate they get for feeding energy back into the grid during the day. Charge the battery at night, run the house from it during the day, and export 100% of the solar generation.

That seems fair. The rate is what commercial suppliers pay, or more. Pays off the battery in a year or two tops, and those things last at least a decade. The time-shifting really helps decarbonize and denuclearize the grid, lowering prices for everyone. It's actually one of the best investments you can make, the return outstrips even the best funds quite easily.

This isn't even 1984. This is orders of magnitude worse, not from the surveillance point but from the response and complete lack of critical thinking. Strip searching a 13 year old girl and keeping her from communicating with her parents, WTF.

Of course it is, most of the population in the world doesn't live in Canada and most Canadians do not travel long distances. When something is done by less than 5% of the population the use case is niche. 5% is the generally accepted definition of mainstream.

By the way I went camping to a sandy island only accessible by SUV a couple of times a year. I've never owned an SUV yet I still went anyway. How does your brain resolve this apparent dilemma? I also don't have a toe hitch on my current car which didn't at all stop me from towing a trailer full of building materials from a hardware store. I'm currently not even in the same country as my car yet I drove a car yesterday. It's mind-blowing isn't it.

It's unfortunate that your stupid opinion where you dictate your purchasing decision based on something you do rarely isn't niche. You're not the only person who thinks you need a to buy something that is capable of everything while being best at nothing.

Not just jokes, but all kinds of behaviour. Most people screw up to some degree as children, and it's often just accepted as part of growing up. If going by the letter of the law, it might be a criminal matter, it might warrant severe punishment. That leeway gives children the chance to make mistakes without it ruining their lives. It's even baked into some legal codes, with childhood convictions being forgotten when they reach adulthood.

Things get bad when people start trying to enforce the rules too strictly against children. It's often cited as one of the ways that non-white kids are disadvantaged, facing severe consequences where a white kid might have just been given some harsh words and grounded.

Surveillance and AI are just more tools for the overzealous to ruin lives with. It's one reason why some countries have a very strong expectation of privacy.

They used a production care for this. You can go buy this one right now.

My favourite was when a 15 minute delay on a 5 hour trip was going to cause them to miss their flight.

The reality is that battery tech is already good enough for most people and many commercial uses. Europe has EV trucks (as in big goods vehicles carrying 40 tonnes, not an F-150 wankpanzer) doing thousands of kilometres to make deliveries (which charging stops, obviously). Batteries continue to improve and get cheaper, charging continues to get faster.

Given the number of hunters who are also MAGA, given the number of idiots you see on Youtube and ticktock injuring themselves while hunting, given the number of idiots who don't know basic hunting safety, given how we live in a world where a not insignificant portion of people decided to try to use a horse-dewormer bought in doses for actual horses to treat COVID-19, the answer is STUPID. FUCKING STUPID. So many stupid people exists and precisely no profession is free of stupidity. I know a stupid hunter. I also know a stupid doctor, a stupid IT person. There's stupid people everywhere.

Dare I say your post thinking that some profession is free of stupidity is in itself incredibly stupid.

Licenses and tests do nothing to prevent stupidity. It just shows that under exam conditions you may briefly get something correct.

I don't think Anthropic pirated that content, but if they did they should face a fine. $150k x 7 million would be ridiculous though. This is a nuisance lawsuit IMHO.

While there are some physical responses to stress, for clinical purposes best practice is to simply ask the patient regularly how they are feeling, and to keep a log of stressful events in their life.

One thing I found helpful is an app called Migraine Log. I don't have migraines, I just use it to track how I'm generally feeling. I set up a reminder on my phone, every day at 9 PM. The app is great, it lets you rate each day on a simple scale of green, amber, or red, and optionally add a note. All data stored locally, open source, no internet permission at all.

Smart watches, bands, and rings are quite good at some stuff. The high end ones have pretty accurate heart rate sensors, on a par with medical devices like chest straps, and the very best like the Google Watch can take that data and use it to do a decent analysis of your sleep cycles. The cheaper ones are mostly just okay, giving a decent indication of heart rate and overall activity levels, but things like sleep tracking are little more than random number generators.
