I think you’re reading into it a little too hard. I don’t suspect an optional mode based on what’s written there. Those power specs come from the USB Power Delivery 2.0/3.x standards. There’s 9 Volt USB PD that can supply 27 Watts at the 3 Amp ceiling, and the next step up is 15 Volt USB PD that can supply 45 Watts at 3 Amps. Since a 45 Watt charger is the one that’s recommended, I don’t expect heat issues there.

Been there, done that, never attempted CRT repair after that.

Cool story bro. As far as I’m aware, presidential executive orders don’t carry any weight outside of the federal executive branch. Unless those state laws are superseded by federal laws passed by the legislative branch, that executive order is worth less than the paper it was printed on.

Sure, it’s a first amendment violation on the part of the US government, but even if ICEBlock wins the case, it would then be Apple’s choice whether or not to reinstate the app. With the Trump administration’s hostile position on it known already, what incentive would Apple have to distribute it?

Welcome to Costco, I love you!

It was my understanding that a shilling was 1/100 of a pound sterling.

OP didn’t show work, and I don’t know how they arrived at the numbers they did.

If we handle inflation before exchange:

15 shillings is £0.15.

£0.15 in 1843 is £16.64 today.

£16.64 is $22.22

$22.22/week is $1155.44/year.

If we handle exchange before inflation:

15 shillings was $0.72 in 1843

$0.72 in 1843 is $31.52 today

$31.52/week is $1639.04/year

Pumpkin spice says hello

As of March this year, Zelensky had thanked the US at least 94 times, or once every week-and-a-half.

Hydroelectric, solar, wind, tidal, ICE generator…

Surely not nuclear, coal, or natural gas power pants with steam generation cycles.

Sure pricing hasn’t been announced, but people can start speculating about the BOM.

No, they have a plan to automate the destruction of the environment after our demise.

I’m perfectly fine identifying cars that have proper names, but the mid-luxury brands (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, etc.) eschew names for alphanumeric gibberish. I can’t be arsed to remember all their numbering schemes. And Teslas largely look the same to me unless they look distinctly like a dumpster. I can’t tell an S from a 3, or a Y from an X.

My boss has a plastic one in his office and I was actually surprised how light it was. A quick search says metal ones can weigh 50 pounds though.

Fair

I tried to sanity-test the math here running the same calculations on a 700 kg horse, of which around 50% mass is muscle.

700 kg x 50% = 350 kg

Low:

350 kg x 100 W/kg = 35,000 W

35,000 W / 746 ≈ 47 hp

High:

350 kg x 200 W/kg = 70,000 W

70,000 W / 746 ≈ 94 hp

Despite what the term “horsepower” would seem to suggest, a horse can actually output more than one horsepower. Estimates put peak output of a horse around 12-15 hp. By those numbers, even the low end estimate above is around 3-4x too high. We’re gonna need more dogs.

Yes, it’s called a hysterectomy. Around 600,000 people get them per year in the US, so very common.
