My dog associates food time with my meals. Food time is food time for both of us, and not based on what a clock says. So i can sleep in on the weekend. Works out since i generally only eat twice a day anyways. But she gets a treat if i have a third meal.

She used to free feed and maintained a healthy weight. Not anymore 🙃. Having meal times at all has been an adjustment, but she learned over a few days.

New trolley problem dropped

There’s also the west coast. The damming of the Columbia, while a natural disaster, made the region viable for manufacture and ship building. In some ways it lead to the possibility for the tech industry as well for better or worse.

Yeah that’s fair. But the works and practice in mobilizing the workforce in the new deal played a big part in the US having industrial capability prior to WWII. Not mentioning other logistics, the power grid improvement alone may have made the difference in the war effort even being possible for the US. After the war private industry continued to benefit from cheap energy coming from those same projects. Hell if there’s a miuntain range in your state you’re almost certainly getting some of your power from a hydro plant made in the 30’s.

And nothing to do with those pesky socialist reforms of the new deal. No this social reforms ruined everything! Must kill for equity!

Statement unclear whether increased conservatism is the natural result of property/capital or if property/capital are merely requisite.

You’re right. Maybe we shouldn’t have a state people suffer and die under.

They stopped caring about money in legislation when they realized they don’t need to hide their grifts anymore. As long as they keep believing the library is for WASPs we’ll be fine.

That’s weird. I read comments in political posts because the straining from the rage really seems to help when i don’t have an urge at all.

I ain’t zooming in for obv Rick Asstley.

Per the kW vs kWh, see top level reply.

Yeah a metric would be nice but it would need a standard test. That’s why idle time and video playback time makes a good amount of sense. But it’s not entirely clear how that would translate into usage for example in back country (where cell network drains power harder) or travel. So it’s not perfect. But it is probably the best measure guven hardware and usage vatiation. In any case it’s subject to marketing dudging the numbers in various ways.

Yes power is a rate. As you said energy is the time integral of power. So it’s meaningless to state an “energy draw” without a duration implied or explicit. E.g. what does drawing 2kWh at idle even mean?

I agree about end user sentiment. I was trying to suggest as well. The only way to know which battery/phone is going to have a better battery life is to identify reviews with similar usage to your own or cross-compare metrics across devices you’re familiar with. In general, phone A with a 4000mAh battery won’t necessarily outlast phone B with a 4500mAh batt.

They would also have to give current draw which isn’t really possible since each end user has different apps and behavior. So you more often get standby time or video playback time which are based on an “ideal” (probably non-bloated) clean OS. That’s more useful to an end user but also subject to marketing fudging the figures.

You can often look up the battery chemistry or use an app to access sensors btw.

At the end of the day battery capacity is only one factor of many in battery/charge life and is generally just marketing in the context of phones.

A 4Ah battery at 5V would be a 20Wh battery, drop the kilo. Electronics draw power at idle, not energy. 2kWh is meaningless without an idle duration. What are you saying?

Wh may be better for determining total energy storage across differing cell chemistry. mAh is standard for electronics and makes more sense at the design level as the battery voltage is chemistry dependent and known to the designer.

They do this with all their sites ime.

You can get it at WinCo if you’re in the west.

Have you ever smelled some foam and had that give you a headache? Do you know that chemically smell?

If so, it tastes whole mouth like that but very concentrated.

There are also chunks but at the same time there is not discernable difference in texture or consistency. Just vague border regions that register montarily as the broad side of your tongue cuts through them like a razor.

Avoid at all costs. Bought one can for the novelty of feeling the same way. It is so much worse than you’re imagining.

I’ve never noticed any delay after first discovery. But i only use 3 devices so 🤷

Employer provided healthcare only covers about %54 of Americans. So in general it’s not a safe assumption.
