What's the next COVID variant going to be? Pi, which will be 3.141 times more deadly.

I have just gotten a 4th COVID vax dose. Figured I might as well tweet what happens to me. Will I die? Will I become untouchable to Omicron? Will I become magnetic? Or will I only annoy the antivaxxers? Also, should I try and beat the guy who got 10 doses?

@notbrainrot3 @ManishPandeyLKW Petrol and diesel vehicles can definitely be tracked and controlled by the government. Lookup GM OnStar. Tracking and other functions since 1996 or so.

@Miguels_Game @solarpapst You can already buy that.

@AGripsholm34 @SawyerMerritt @Tesla Not surprised that Volkswagen is pretty much at the bottom of that list, along with the VW sub brands. @alex_avoigt have you seen this?

@shanendoah760 @Abn_Panzer She would have been getting bombarded by the signals from her own phone. As the phone would have been increasing its transmission power to try and compensate for the signal loss.

@worstall @g__j Crushed silicone/ glass is pretty much just sand. It could be safely dumped in cleanfill sites. Or used as backfill around underground cables etc.

Pretty much no point in turning it into more solar panels.

@JordanEVGuy Some older ICE cars actually use less fuel than new ICE. The real question is actually: How many people who drive 13 year old ICE cars would buy brand new ICE cars? Pretty much no one.

[The_Android @I_Le_Android]

@deejayakoni @JordanEVGuy There are already lots of 13 year old EVs on the roads, still working just fine. Although mostly Nissan Leafs and Model S Tesla's. 13 years of not buying fuel would also cover any major repair costs.

[The_Android @I_Le_Android]

@DoctorEmpyrean @AutoTrendzUg That depends on the car. Lots of cars have variable output compressors. And old cars, if you turn the fan speed on low, the compressor would switch on and off to stop the evaporator from filling up with ice.

@lauriewired @FelixCLC_ Also thermal expansion. Higher temp means higher expansion. More risk of failure from solder joints cracking. And electrolytic capacitors dont last as long at high temps. Even if the transistors are ok, other things might fail due to the heat.

[The_Android @I_Le_Android]

@lauriewired @FelixCLC_ Transistors have a negative temp coefficient, they conduct better at higher temp. But that can cause a small part of a transistor to get hotter, more power flows through that part, gets even hotter, then it fails from too much heat.

[The_Android @I_Le_Android]

@SustainableOz @ClaireCoutinho You don't even need that. As air to air heatpumps are more efficient than air to water. Alot of the extra power used during summer would be offset by less power used in winter.

[The_Android @I_Le_Android]

@gomiam @AndyOz002 @MetJam_ Humidity has a big effect on Aircon cooling load, due to latent heat of water vapor. Could be as simple as higher than normal humidity, Aircon systems work harder, more waste heat discharging. Higher outdoor temp.

[The_Android @I_Le_Android]

@gomiam @AndyOz002 @MetJam_ Waste heat from Aircon, gas hot water etc. Also cooling from the trees/ grass in the park. That spike might just be from a change in wind direction. Im not trying to deny global warming, only that particular weather station isn't a good example.

@JayBush37475884 @heywildrich They look like tow hooks / loops. That bolt to the chassis of a 1992 Toyota MR2.

[The_Android @I_Le_Android]

@RonTannert @EVCurveFuturist Perfectly fine. As EVs still have lower overall CO2 emissions, even when charged with coal power. And EVs also improve the economics of renewable generation. Via using late night or mid day power that can't be used for much else.

[The_Android @I_Le_Android]

@grant_farquhar This is equivalent to Telecom spending lots of money on those cute animal TV adds in the 90s. While charging crazy prices for toll calls.

[The_Android @I_Le_Android]

@InnKeeping_ @evclinic Yes

[The_Android @I_Le_Android]

@DrStefool @skdh Someone even managed to patent the wheel.

@CoolGuyCatDude @FormerlyFormer And some of those supposedly environmentally good refrigerants actually cause higher power use. Harming the environment due to higher CO2 emissions to generate the extra power required. R454b replacing R32 is a good example of that. And higher running costs.

@newagemaker1 @o_tonypaulsen31 @PCarterClimate Don't know about whole settlements. But in Auckland, the city council and govt have had to buy back and demolish quite a few houses due to flooding.
