As the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals when it was checked by a violent gust of wind that swept up the streets, Stark checked his Thieves Guild tag (for it is in Ankh-Morkpork that our story lies) and glanced along the street where a magically illuminated sign flickered futilely against the darkness, causing him to comment to his companion, "You know, Dormy, I think this is going to be our night!"
Er veldig glad for å se Start tilbake på toppnivå, og ser selvfŸlgelig åpningskampen mot KFUM.
Samtidig slår det meg at dette virker som en helt annen sport enn det jeg så fra Aspmyra på onsdag…

„Krone“ kennt Details - Dreifache Mutter tot: Heftiger Streit am Vorabend #News #Nachrichten
I hadn't noticed that the announcement of the new UK computer crimes division, the Online Crime Centre, has a quote from NCA's James Babbage.
I'm glad the Babbages are taking some responsibility for what they have wrought.

Really glad the US just decommissioned the four mine sweepers we’d had covering the Strait of Hormuz, and glad we live in such a peaceful world that we no longer need them there as they had been for the last 35 years. Phew.

the engineering article about the motors is super in depth, some of it way over my head, but they also compare the development of EV cars to planes and I get this... at least now... because it didn't occur to me:
Regeneration is great for cars!
Regeneration is a BIG NO for airplanes! Because if you glide and the propeller to regenerate power, you fall out of the sky. 😬 😂
so ya, none of that!
"Critically, one area the company worked hard on reducing was regeneration. At no point during flight, as well as descent, can the plane simply carry on under its own momentum while air drives the propellers to generate current. That would create a large amount of drag, and the plane would start to fall rapidly.
“Maybe a glider or UAV could do that, but not a passenger aircraft,” Armesmith says. “There are rules against it in aerospace, so we have to actively stop regeneration from being possible, it’s a fault we have to arrest,” Armesmith says.
“So, if we’ve either lost power or had to turn the motor off for any reason, the propeller needs to be able to windmill freely. We can’t have any electromagnetic resistance to the propeller free-turning owing to regeneration back into the DC bus.”
ya... glide good! fall bad! lol
I am very glad these very smart people are making it happen and a local company is right in there!!

I’m so glad that the United States Navy and the IRGC are playing chicken in the Strait of Hormuz and not trying to sort things out like a bunch of sugared up 5 year olds. /s
