As you said, friction would introduce more wear and maintenance. This gentleman’s idea is to attach a windmill to drive the rotary induction wheel, which would essentially be “free” heat energy, and an interesting hobby contraption. Entertainment and a sense of accomplishment is probably his main goal.

Its not a brand new idea, just a different application of the principle. Induction generators already exist, and they can indeed be used with windmills, but to generate AC current versus heat energy.

More power to this fun and crazy inventor. Maybe he can find practical and reproducible use for this effect. If not, he’s gonna have the most unique water heater ever invented. With this he could make a fully mechanical hot water heater that burns no fuel and uses no electricity. He would just have to make a mechanism to disengage a clutch at the top temperature.

Washington isn’t a duty to retreat state, but duty to retreat laws often do cover accelerating a conflict with your weapon. Going open carry, as an opposing force and as a bright white little boy, to a riot started due to racial inequity could be considered accelerating a conflict. But those laws don’t apply here anyway.

But yeah, 20 minutes isn’t a far distance. And he did his best to retreat even after he put himself in that situation, and I don’t think there was any better decision to make besides just not being there. For him and the shit stains that attacked him.

You’re right, I don’t think he was guilty of murder, but that wasn’t the only focus of the trial was it? Seems like there should have been a better case brought against him, but there wasn’t a good legal precedent or framework to really categorize the level of responsibility he had for the situation. While it isn’t murder, it’s something.

I’ll be honest that I have only peripherally paid attention to the Rittenhouse trial, and maybe you can help me understand it a bit better.

Didn’t he travel a good distance to “defend” a business, one he had no right or reason to defend with a deadly weapon? Was it really just that Washington is a “stand your ground” and not a “duty to retreat” state that made him innocent on that?

If so, that’s definitely a good argument for a duty to retreat legal doctrine, because it’s one hell of a loophole to allow people to purposefully put themselves into a conflict, accelerate things with an open threat, and try to claim you did nothing wrong.

I want that guys life. He’s got the house, the boat, presumably the truck, and enough disposable income left to hire an excellent artist to paint a giant middle finger to his busybody local government and neighbors. Congrats to him.

Not quite as many as Madoff, but some notable folks and investors.

Those are fair points, but I can’t help but chuckle that they were brought to justice because they stole from millionaires and other billionaires to make their ill gotten gains. Probably woulda got away with it if they just stole from the poor and middle class.

You don’t get to make $100 billion dollars and feign ignorance about how you got it and the damage you caused to obtain it.

Don’t you? I can’t think of any instance of justice truly being served to billionaires, can you?

You’re right. One interesting option right now is the mustang Mach E, dealers are dropping prices and Ford is giving 0% for 72mo. I just bought a California route 1 for 46k at 0%, and I wasn’t planning on electrifying at current prices until that came up.

Thank you for the read. I figured this one was a thorny issue without even considering the locale/jurisdiction aspect.

From the looks of it, this is an issue that is likely to have to be fought in court to deliver some precedent or legislation will have to directly target this… And that’s just the American side.

I’m honestly glad these comedians and the Carlin family were able to come to a reasonable settlement, so that the Carlins themselves didn’t have to be part of this eventual circus. I feel like George himself would find this scenario pointless and loathsome, and I only wish I could hear the real him talk about it haha.

I have a few questions, and I am honestly asking from sheer lack of knowledge on how to even look this up.

From what I have read, you don’t exactly have copyright of your own likeness, but rather rights to how you can restrict its use for privacy/publicity/commercial reasons. But that applies to you alone. Does your next of kin inherit the rights from you automatically? Can you convey those rights after death? Do people actually do that?

I’m genuinely interested to know if this case was even possible. It’s definitely in poor taste, but despite that it is an interesting experiment and admittedly a good mimicry. Should we expect more like this, or less?

Already out my man, it’s called Palworld, and it’s great.

Hi, newbie question. What is this download/share format called, and how do I access it?

Edit: I love all of you.

Different hardware type. Gaming laptops have dedicated graphics cards which generate heat from an additional source, and they have to drive 1080p/1440p/4k content, whereas the steam deck is a 1280x800 screen, which is absolutely perfect for an AMD integrated GPU with reduced thermal management.

The steam deck is a single spec tightly tuned machine and software package not unlike a game console, whereas a gaming laptop is an all purpose machine with hardware all over the spectrum that you can buy what you want/need.

As in too high or too low? Maybe it might be that I’ve only had experience with a mobile 1060, 3060, and 3070 from Lenovo, but all of them seemed to have a target temp around 72-75, that or that was effectively where the fans could keep it at equilibrium when running furmark as a benchmark.

They’ve gotten a bit better within the Nvidia 1000-3000 series, but I can’t vouch for the 4000 series. Better thermal management techniques and lower target thresholds.

That being said, I’m sure there are manufacturers that buck the trend and set higher thermal targets for more performance. I’d say monitor your temps, and target for no higher than 75c if possible.

Oh he’ll settle with the bank that ends up buying his sub prime debt. If you owe the bank 13 thousand it’s your problem. If you owe the bank 13 billion, it’s their problem.

Does Keiyoushi seems like the best extension repo alternative right now? They of course have the pre purge extensions, and some updates, but their rules about not discussing alternatives to them seems anti-community.

Does anyone know more of the players in this power vacuum?
