It's not really the wattage that's an issue.
If it ran at 600 volts, it would only be 1 amp.

But at 12v, it's 50 amps of current.
Which is a lot.
And it's not massively peaky/bursty, so it needs to withstand that constantly.
Pretty sure something like 10-15mm² cross section of copper is needed for that, which is a thick cable.

But, this is also a problem that has been solved elsewhere. For whatever reason, manufacturers have settled in a terrible solution.

Both can be true. Both should be true

I don't think people care about it, but it seems to trigger some subconscious "I'm too close" and they drop back a bit.

I guess if someone is actually being an asshole aggressive tailgater then they won't care

The best method is to spray your windshield.
Some of it gets swept with the wind into their windshield, and they have to wipe/clean theirs.

I don't think that's ever failed to get someone to back off.

I was surprised to read that, because I'm sure we eradicated salmonella in eggs decades ago.

But it's being traced to imported eggs.

Or someone in the party mentioned it to a server when they went to the bathroom as a surprise "can you do a special dessert for the person in the wheelchair, it's their birthday".
So the server just added it to the order without knowing where the person was actually seated at the table.

"before handing it to the customer"

It's the worker doing this

Fully automated the install

It is. It's called Compulsory Licensing.

There is also an FDA Shortage list (most countries have a similar list).
A drug on that list gives the government additional powers to allow companies to work around the parents.

I think this is why there has been so many "off-brand" weight loss drugs recently. Novo Nordisk had supply chain issues with semaglutide, triggering governments to allow other manufacturers

 

(not sure where to post this...)

I had an idea there might be a TUI lib for typescript. A duckduckgo search came up with an article that described exactly what I wanted!
So of course I immediately searched for this fabled tui lib. A quick search didn't reveal anything, and npm can't seem to find it either! https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=Tui
Navigating directly to the npm package page reveals a 10 year old got repo with no actual code... (https://github.com/basarat/tui)

What the scuff is this world coming to?!
This seems to absolutely align with my experience of using LLMs

(Also accepting suggestions for typescript TUI libs that actually exist!)

 

I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?
