The nighttime sky is not the same. You see different constellations in summer than you do in winter.
The stars appear above the horizon about 4 minutes later each day. There are stars at your particular latitude that are always visible (they never set), and they appear to rotate around the celestial pole. If you took note of their positions carefully at a particular time of night, you would see that they end up being 180 degrees opposite where they were 6 months previous.
If you're talking about the pattern of stars shifting against the more distant background of stars (star parallax), when the earth is at opposite sides of the sun, this is measurable by observatories for stars within a hundred light years or so but the angular change quickly becomes very small and the universe is very big.
Approximately 34 megajoules per litre for petrol/gasoline.
50 litres filling up in 4 minutes = 1.25 litres/second pumping rate. lol don't do calculations before coffee, let's just say you've got a hi-flow pump doing 1l/sec.
You won't get far with that kind of thing in Australia. We have no land borders with other countries so the "natural" blending of currencies with nearby countries at border cities doesn't happen. Nobody has a good idea of what a euro or US dollar looks like, and you'll likely just get told to go get it exchanged for AUD.
You still get all the same free stuff.They're charging for some new additional features.
This is standard enshittification.
Introduce a new premium tier, with "cool shit", whatever that might be. Free tier still allows you to do all the stuff you did before.
Wait a period of time, about 6 to 12 months usually, to get the users used to the fact that the free tier is still the same as usual. Tinker with the premium tier a little to make it sound like awesome shit is happening there and everyone should get on it.
Degrade the free tier, usually by adding "sponsored content" i.e. ads, or dropping features so that genuinely useful stuff only becomes available in premium tier. Pitch this as "maintaining quality for our increasing user base" or some bullshit.
Ratchet up pricing for the premium tier, reduce/enshittify features in the free tier.
Repeat from step 3 until your userbase migrates to the Next Hot Thing and your product sinks into irrelevancy.
It's to limit the risk of mechanical damage. As an auto electrician, no way would I accept runs of unprotected battery cables (that is, only with their PVC insulation) in a fixed install. Too much shit can go wrong over the 10 year lifespan of these setups.
On a big battery system you need 150+ amps of fault current before the DC breakers even think about tripping. At 48 volts that's burn-your-garage-down territory if you get a nail or a shovel edge or a rat nibble across your cables that "only" pulls a hundred amps.
It's not a sign of AI, but when every second post manages to slip the "not x, not y, just z" phrase into their wording, you get pretty over it, pretty quickly.
Ditto for posts that worm in the phrase "just physics". No, it's not "just physics". Physics is complicated, and I wish AI slop would stop handwaving away a decent explanation with that phrase.
I grew up in a mining town where there were just 5 or 6 different core designs for three and four bedroom houses, and a street was made up of those designs with minor variations like rotating it 90 degrees on the lot or mirroring the design.
If you weren't looking for it, that lack of variety was completely unnoticeable as you drove down the street.
Yes, the problem with all new material is it is not offensive enough. You got it.
No, the problem is that they - as in , three camera sitcoms - are not willing to explore boundaries. Good comedy explores boundaries and that space where the brain goes "oh no they did not just say that" is often where the best stuff is.
IF they manage to pull it off correctly. If they don't, all the actors get booed and their show gets cancelled, so of course they're going to go for bland over edgy.
Try Mint Mate, the desktop environment is lighter than Cinnamon. When I was running systems from that era, Mate was much speedier than KDE / Gnome 3.
After that it's just looking at what's running after boot up and deciding whether you need it or not. As long as it's not hogging precious RAM/CPU don't worry about disabling it.
