They do. I have introduced Linux desktops as a choice for those that can live e.g. with the browser version of office and don’t need our ERP client.

Does that really make a difference on the bill, are the houses so badly insulated? I always thought that style of building with wooden walls and insulation foam should make heating extremely cheap.

Hm. My bathroom is always 23°C or warmer, no matter the weather. When is colder outside, my heat pump delivers more warm water to the heating circuits. Does heating in the US work differently?

Dry sand is important. Wet sand turns a metal fire into a metal fire fountain.

The linked video by Real Engineering does some back of the napkin math and yeah… the numbers are so off anything remotely feasible, it’s hilarious.

They came out on top of 2008/09 as well.

Oh they see it coming as well, but unlike us, they have the levers and means to come out on top of it.

The enemy is consistently portrayed as both subhuman and endowed with extraordinary powers. That framing justifies any use of force, since no ordinary means could defeat them. Stripping the victims of human worth absolves the attackers completely.

Road temperature is not air temperature, on a sunny day, go out, measure the road and compare it to the air above it.

Where are you pulling these numbers from? I’m relatively sure you’re just making some up by now until you hit one where any concept that has been explained to you will not work.

Contrarianism should not be entertained.

Are you just throwing dices for numbers now? Above your were talking about 40°C.

I’m not sure if you’re being deliberately misleading. I’ll just assume you’ve never owned a somewhat new-ish ev. None of those with active cooling use the outside air, almost as follow this kind of layout:

The circled part is the important one. Hell, even the first Gen ioniq which had an air cooled battery drew in chilled air from near the rear passenger ducts.

Unless you have a Nissan Leaf or an UpMiiGo your battery has some sort of active cooling.

Of course it isn’t. My eTron targets 45°C temperature in the pack while fast charging.
