They also had sunk all their savings into that rebuild. How do you think about trying a third time when you have nothing to even work with?

He was claiming he had a helicopter that couldn't land due to FAA rules or some stupid crap. Whatever happened to that? The tweet reminded me of a troll in a forum who everyone is ignoring and he keeps shouting he's being shadow banned because he's right.

I'm not watching the races anymore. I was into it 90s-2000s, but then it started to become less of the old type racing. The superspeedways had a reputation then for being set positions if nothing happened, simply because you can't stay topped out when you break draft to try and pass. Maybe some of that has changed with the new racing format that separates it into several miniraces.

Not talking shit, just years of experience watching the races back then. The NASCAR rules may have changed, but the physics of high speed aerodynamics haven't.

A stalled hurricane doesn't have to be large. Fran is an example back in history, and Harvey in more recent. But stalled storms also has its origin from climate change, because the weather steering systems are broken and cause/allow it.

There were warnings for Georgia and the southern Appalachia, but the storm moved so much faster at the end and carried so much water inland. The ability to hold more water in the atmosphere has been an ongoing concern from climate scientists, and this is a clear example of how it can lead to disaster.

He talked about using nukes before he got elected, people still voted for him. A trump voter isn't going to be swayed by logic or facts or ethics.

That just brought back a memory of some comedy film where a character is confronted by a vampire and whips out his necklace, the vampire cringes in fear but then sees it's a Star of David. I want to say a Mel Brooks movie.

at a consistent 180-200mph

Nah, that was a boring race. We're all here for the wrecks and spinouts that allow some positioning changes.

So a lot like getting a D&D group together. Oh no...

There's emissions for any activity, but the nuclear fuel cycle seems pretty spread out to suggest it's anything comparable to what the fossil fuel chain of fueling is like.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
