I took a trip from Germany to Italy over the alps with my EV with only 60 kWh of Battery. In reality the largest amount of delay I got due to other uncontrollable factors like a massive 2 hours traffic jam. in contrast to that I had like 1 20 minutes charging break and one 5 minutes to buy my esim that i forgot for switzerland. The 20 minute break i was gonna take anyways to take a piss and eat some food.

because they have to due to EU Laws every business operating in the EU has to allow this.

what improvements? The algorithm that radicalises people and keeps them seperated in bubbles? The Mass Data Harvesting?

There is a reason that I am considering switching to IOS because google keeps pulling this shit. Atleast with Apple I know what I get.

Which is not the most flexible system, with apple only implementing the mandatory minimum of interoptability and features required by EU rules. But other than that delivering a rather solid product with excellent vertical integration. And at least i know that unlike Google their main business is not in advertising. (but in pricing their incremental upgrades ridiculously)

I enjoy JetBrains IDEs alot. Altough I mainly use Dataspell and Datagrip and not Intellij but they make my life easier. Specifically when connecting to new DBs

Interesting didnt know. Expected but not great. Though depending on the application workable I would say.

I have never reached that level of Mathematic fluency very honestly. I came by with my very mediocre level of Math, and I still somehow managed to pass General Relativity.

I still couldn't Mathematically proof anything if a gun were held against my head. I however do apreciate the precise language of math, which I greatly enjoy for describing problems and solutions with incredible precision and little room for interpretation.

much less dopamine, video games are realy good at stimulating that. Studying physics not so much.

Don't get me wrong Physics can be satisfying in its own ways but the amount of dopamine rushes you get from cracking a hard problem are few and far between. Often enough you just get frustrated and once you find the solution you think to yourself oh is that easy how didn't i get that before and feel absolutely stupid.

I personally recomend Halliday as an everything important in Undergrad thats not Theoretical Physics book. Use that in conjunction with your favorite Flavor of Math for Scientists and Engineers book. And you get a pretty wide understanding of Physics.

Yeah i belong to them i have an ancient account that was connected to a shitty mail hoster that deleted mail accounts after not use and i paid back then with a paysafe card. So i had no way to rpove ownership and got shafted. Abit of my fault I guess but i was like 14 when I bought it.

An idea that sprang to mind and please point me out at which points its unrealistic and why because I am talking completely out of my ass here. If we want to reduce mono culture but we still need to somehow figure out how to provide humanity. Could large scale vertical farms, in Green Houses reduce the footprint of monocultures? By being more productive year round? Or is that just technolgist delusions of mine?
