You probably can’t easily at the front lines. But you probably could past a threshold?

That is what’s happening.

SpaceX knows which satellites were sold to the Ukrainian government though and could apply additional filtering. That’s the easiest first step.

To prevent Ukrainian dishes from falling into Russian hands you’d also need some sort of rolling authentication code so the dish becomes inoperable after a period of time.

Simply being in Russian territory doesn’t guarantee a Russian is using it as it could be Ukrainian special forces deep in enemy territory.

I feel like I’ve just been given an invaluable tip that I may have never ever received had I not taken part in this conversation about socks.

I’ll remember this should I ever go to NYC

What’s this thing called summer socks? I wear the same wool socks all year and it’s great! It’s either wool socks or sockless sandels.

I only wear wool socks and work from home. I can easily go 4-5 days if I’ve only gone outside to get groceries or whatnot.

If I’m going out to socialize though and it’s been more than 2 days I’ll get a fresh pair.

Wool socks? Camping on a beach i would have just washed them in the water at least once and gone sockless while they dried.

Boca Chica isn’t going to be the main launch center in the future due to things like the wildlife preserve around it. They’re going to be restricted at some point. It’s a R&D center.

They could also build the solar/wind elsewhere to offset anything, or maybe they could even invest in a SMR. They’ll have the cash once those start coming online.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re investing money to optimize the process as well, just like we see new advances in desalination continually making it more efficient. (Edit: e.g https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.35848/1347-4065/ace831)

Also even in Texas, it isn’t going to be coal forever, more and more renewable sources are being added to the grid every year. I’m not trying to say this will be an immediate thing.

They’ll probably build a solar farm.

But don’t get me started on how there no such thing as carbon neutral because it took carbon to build the solar panels, or wind mills, and the person operating the facility had to eat vegetables which required someone to ship them, which required a EV which required power that came from solar but those solar panels which were made from panels produced via solar panels required someone else to clean them which produced co2 making their meals too!

Emissions are going to go down when starship is made as well.

Starship uses a methane + oxygen fuel which burns cleaner, and can be produced with just water and CO2 making it carbon neutral.

I don’t think every flight will be neutral immediately, or what % will be consistently once its scaled up, but it’ll be better.

But 1 carbon neutral flight sending up hundreds of satellites will bring it down quickly. They could even save the carbon neutral flights for themselves for PR purposes.

I’m only part way through season 2, but it seemed like the show was getting into its groove better. Was really enjoyable even if not amazing.

The CCS system for the US was finalized well after Tesla had a lot of cars on the road, and is pretty inferior to Tesla’s NACS and CCS2. It’s not a direct comparison to what happened in the EU.

Maybe they were worried about forcing an inferior standard too soon, and wanted to see how the market would play out?

Do you want to be in a lawsuit over standards with, at the time your only 100% EV car manufacturer, and only manufacturer that even thinks its possible to do 100% EVs, over an inferior standard that early on?

The GOP talks nonstop about not doing stuff like that, and the DEMs would be fighting against the only auto manufacturer company fighting climate change and pushing things forward.

The longer the other OEMs dragged their feet, and the more cars Tesla pumped out using NACS probably made the fight harder and harder to have.

Maybe if they did though, they could have pushed Telsa to open theirs much sooner as well though?

It looks like it’s happening on its own now as everyone now moves to NACS but ya, it would have been nicer sooner.

Edit: maybe even just talking about forcing a standard could have convinced Tesla to do this sooner as well?

Ya, the locking mechanisms would be a big part of it.

I’ve had people unplug my car to charge theirs when I use an adapter out in the world. It’s impacted my trips before :(

The adapter can’t be stolen as that’s locked to the car, but in this case you wouldn’t be able to unplug the car now as the adapter is locked to the charging cable when in use.

Headline is a bit sensational, but having a single charger that can charge any EV at home without an adapter is really helpful and could convince tesla and non tesla owners, as well as businesses that provide charging for customers to consider it over other options.

Edit: I often see a mix of Tesla and JS1772 chargers at l2 spots, now they could all be just this.

I still charge my car off 120v as it’s all we need, but our land lord was considering getting a wall charger at one point. Even though I drive a Tesla, they were still thinking of installing a non Tesla one so it would work for any other EV we purchased, or new tenants in the future. This is a welcome change.

These LFP batteries just keep getting better and better and I love it. Give it more time and they’ll even get the wh/kg up and these will replace all but the longest range or weight sensitive applications.

The main battle against the robots at earth, but one of the other ones as well was really good.

The earth one was exceptionally long for a space cgi battle.

Whatever you think of the show, it gave us one of, if not the most, epic CGI space battle. It was so damn long and intricate.

Well the good thing is they were able to reproduce it themselves so they won’t drive themselves fully crazy trying to narrow that down, assuming not a scam.

I wonder how much you could automate that all to remove as much human factor as possible and be down to exact times if needed.

I actually had a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe he wouldn’t behave like this and he wouldn’t fuck with the people he didn’t like by abusing twitter once he owned it, but that hope was dashed pretty quickly.
