It said: I can't, but it would be lazy to say that is is not a possibility.

With some back and forth it created a 5 step plan to narrow down if our universe has all the right properties for this to be true.

We evaluated the first four stages to be true, and it wrote the solver to find out if the fifth test running the full model passes, but that will take thousands of hours of compute.

This is a classic logistical puzzle!

Unless you have a very unique way of carrying your vehicle, you should definitely drive.

If you walk there, you'll arrive at the car wash, but your car will still be dirty back at your house. You need to take the car with you to get it washed.

Would you like me to check the weather forecast for $mytown to see if it's a good day for a car wash?

They have a _huge_ testing lab with insane amounts of testing equipment. I never had any problems with their hardware at all. Networking was not that good years ago but is stellar now.

Now imagine that nuclear power production would be greatly increased. How many years of uranium supply would we have left?

The directive says that the motor (when preheated) may not exceed a temperature rise of 25°C over a certain period of time, nothing else. I sure don't understand why all people talk about 250W. Its a myth.

My pedelec (bosch perfomance line CX motor) definitely peaks at over 1kW of power (plus my power), so for example uphill I have a combined power output of around 1500 W.

I called the equivalent of 911 and briefly explained. The said: "wait, we pick you up", and in the same moment I hear sirens a few streets later heading in my direction. What followed was out of a movie. We raced with emergency lights to the current location, constantly updading other units on the current position. We must have missed the thief only by seconds and found construction containers where the signal was coming from. The police said they would call the construction companys 24h contact and open the containers with them, but I could go home for now.

One hour later the GPS tracker said the bike was moving again. I called again and the operator of emergency services said "didn't you call before?" and they picked me up again. When we arrived at the - now outdoor - location of the bike, there were 5 police cars and 15 police around it, but no thief, it was locked to a regular bike stand. They called in the equivalent of SWAT to open the lock and I got my bike back. They took fingerprints of the lock and luckily the thief stopped at an residential address for a minute or two, so we figured that might be the home address. Investigation is ongoing.

I could more or less prove that I was the owner by having the dealers invoice, serial number and pictures on my phone btw.
