Abnormally large hat size means I know I look ridiculous.

I love tectonic, use it to build my resume via GitHub actions, it just works.

Relative to the surrounding area, and possibly a lot of the Midwest, yes. I lived near there for a little bit, fun town.

Have a 2011 Lexus ES350 (gas, V6), and a 2013 Nissan Leaf (EV, ~60 miles of range). Both my wife and I prefer driving the Leaf around town because it’s just plain fun. We keep the Lexus for long trips, but could honestly get by with a rental if we ever needed to.

My first thought was how ears and noses look red when sunlight shines through them. If blood was blue, wouldn’t they be blue or purple?

That’s wild to me cos like… We didn’t need internet to tell us this was incorrect.

As funny as this is, it’s also a very common logo, being a varient of the Penrose Triangle. Honestly more shocked they didn’t spring for some better graphics…

Thanks for the correction! I got way ahead of myself.

When wind speed doubles, the energy it carries increases eightfold,

Edit: I’m wrong, see edit below!

Huh? Kinetic energy increase is square, not cubic.

KE=1/2 m v^2

So every doubling of speed should increase the available kinetic energy by 4 times, not 8. 3 times the speed is 9 times the energy. Granted there are probably some efficiency gains in excess of this at the low end, but as a rule that’s just wrong.

Edit: Cool, I learned something new! I neglected to consider it in terms of power, just thought about kinetic energy.

So something like: KE = 1/2 m v^2

= 1/2 ( rho V) v^2

= 1/2 ( rho A d) (d/t)^2

= 1/2 rho A d^3 1/t^2

Where P = KE/t

Thus:

P = 1/2 rho A (d/t)^3

= 1/2 rho A v^3

Lots of other aspects I’m sure I have wrong, but I see how the cubic came to be.

Is that the breast you can do?

These specifically

I can let light into a room but maintain complete privacy (especially on the upper level you just see the sky)

Oof you’re right, thanks!

Yup, it can theoretically do any position where this is true: Top Limit > Top of Blinds > Bottom of Blinds > Bottom Limit

Controls can seem a little funky at first, but not bad. Once you have a preset you like it’s just one button.

Also work in software, and still tweaking the smart home setup to be as intervention free as possible. The upside of the blinds is that I can leave the house and they automatically close to keep cool. When my morning alarm goes off it opens the top half to let in natural light - I’m a heavy sleeper so this is well worth it for me personally. Still haven’t set up smart switches, but it’s next on the list. Ideally a guest could stay and never even know it’s “smart”.

This is shown down, it drops entirely from the top though. So when raised you have the sill. Could technically set a bottom position hovering above the sill if you didn’t mind a gap
