You never go below 1 in efficiency. Worst case the water is heated directly with electricity.

You shouldn’t but you could.

In theory peltier elements are more efficient heaters than resistive heating but if the temp delta are big enough, you lose more heat through conduction than you pump in.

A poorly optimized fireplace may vacuum more warm air out than it radiates in.

Don’t they have daily de-railings? I remember some YouTube video talking about derailings with hazardous materials.

I don't know. We're talking about 10,000 trains operating over 150,000 miles of track. A few de-railings per day in train yards is probably within an acceptable error rate. But, I don't know.

Most of those are minor incidents in rail-yards, the equivalent of bumping someone's car in the parking lot.

From what I know the equivalent stat for the EU is one per two days, so better but still in the same ballpark.

That’s the key right? It’s world as content. Nothing means anything anymore as long as it gets spread on media platforms. The easiest way for the US to get out this downward spiral is to just ignore the medias coverage of ”politics”. But that’s not gonna happen is it? Gotta se what happens next!

Yeah I concur.

As an early adopter I first got forced off my grandfather plan to the regular one(at least I got a T-shirt). Now I have a limited number of searches that I have to keep track of and this has made me only use Kagi if necessary. This has dropped my number of searches significantly but at the end of the year I’m still being charged for renewing my plan even though I haven’t used a quarter of my allotted searches.

I don’t care about LLMs so this brings nothing of value to me. Give me an email account or some backup storage and open source office suite and I would be willing to pay and pay more.

I’m seriously considering not re-newing my subscription for the first time in ages.

The $10 plan has unlimited searches again.

And this isn't anything that has changed recently. It's been unlimited since 2023.

Then don't renew. Nobody is forcing you to pay for the service, and from what you wrote, it sounds like the service is not what you need/want (anymore).

How do you use kagi and not know the basic plan has unlimited searches and has had it for ages?

It doesn’t, I use the starter plan, that’s the lowest paid tie.

The basic plan has 300 searches.

Is there something similar in French? Preferably from French/English to simplified French?

But English is simplified French ;)

With apologies to Dumas ("L’anglais n’est que du français mal prononcé" - "English is little more than badly pronounced French" - spoken by D'Artagnan in Twenty Years After)

The "quick and dirty" solution would be to cut and paste into Claude or ChatGPT, probably in sections to prevent it from going too far off piste/forget what it's meant to be doing, with a suitable prompt.

n’est que du -> is only

"little more" can, and often is, be used as a synonym of "only". In this case, take it up with the translators of Dumas' works - it's a common choice for the translation.

This looks so cool, I am thinking of building something like this for French.

I am currently planning to take my B1 and it has been super hard.

So you’ve discarded a lot of modern , post modern and contemporary thinkers without offering some alternative or do you mean that there isn’t much to philosophy in general? I’m curious because I have also come to a similar conclusion but I have to admit that I have not read everyone that you’ve mentioned but I have read summaries and analysis.

But let’s not ignore the average down time of 35-40 days per year for refueling nuclear PP.

What am I missing? 36 down days a year is 90% duty, same as parent post

Is that something that needs to be considered separately, since the operation factor is given in % of hours per year?

Which is why most installations have more than one reactor on site.

So he rode really fast, reckless and sleep deprived to his brother who’d been injured in a horse riding accident?

haha hadn't thought about that, although the Roman Roads could be considered to be a safe highways as opposed to the dangerous paths in Germania.

If one of the main characters in The Fast and the Furious gets hurt in a street race, would not his teammates race to him as fast as they could?

It does seem a bit ironic (is that the right word?), but it's not like there were many other options for travel at that time.

People never change.

Yeah the problem is that academia has the same issue with garbage papers. As long as information has some ad value, be it commercial or political it will fill all spaces with garbage to make a buck.

”it's forbidden to attempt these ultra races in that way, the competitors aren't even allowed to help each other during a loop.”

What? No that’s not right, of course they stick together or else no rookie would ever finish a loop.
