Why Linux is Best for Most People
  • Debug, you say? Windows is way harder to keep running than Linux. At least an immutable distro like UBlue. You don’t need to debug anything. Just get it running, get some shit installed over the top, and it will auto update forever. I’ve got lots of relatives living comfortably that way for years now. If they were running Windows, it would be a support call every week and a fresh install every 2 years.

    Now, Mac I’ll grant you. A Mac will also just keep running forever. But you can run nearly every Windows game on Linux and almost none of them on Mac. And Mac requires special hardware.

  • The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January
  • If that thing can do 157 miles, I’ll eat my hat. It’s got a Leaf-sized battery in it, which was actually pretty efficient, yet struggled to hit 80 miles in good weather. Still glad to see it though.

  • 8 lanes in one direction

    This is in a city of 175,000 people. And in a “liberal”, West Coast, US city. You really can’t get away from this stuff in North America.

  • No, not at all. More like, if your car is broken you could also ride a bike, or walk, or take a bus or a cab or a train or an airplane. Sometimes it’s helpful to have solutions presented that you didn’t even think of. Like how you assumed that the only way to deal with a broken car is to fix it or buy a new one. That’s not true at all, and I’m here to help you explore all the ways to solve your problem, not just the ones at the top of your mind at the moment.

  • Wet bulb events. Not as sexy as they sound.
  • our bodies transfer heat from our body to water on the surface of our skin, water that then evaporates, resulting in heat loss from our body

    Not a great explanation. Sweat is obviously body temperature, so heat doesn’t move into it. Unless it turns into water vapor, which is a process that requires quite a lot of heat energy, cooling the remaining liquid or the surface.

  • Just rode and electric bus.

    I had no idea we even had these things. So quiet and smooth! You don’t realize how damn loud a normal bus is until you’re wooshed around on an electric one. TriMet doesn’t even say it’s electric anywhere. Just that it’s “zero emissions”.
