Been there done that too when I was a toolmaker. Old buildings with no air flow, (except in the winter on sub-zero F days). But hey, sometimes on the really bad days we would get an extra 5 minutes at break. And maybe on very rare occasions, a Popsicle.

Good times…

Personally, outside of some niche applications, I don’t think fuel cells are going to replace EVs. The losses in efficiency are just to great in the conversion from water to hydrogen/oxygen gasses to electricity - unless someone figures out how to harness the energy released in a hydrogen bomb. But I wouldn’t hold my breath for that. I do think that Tesla isn’t as long for this world as Musk would have hoped for though. I personally hope he ends up broke and mocked as soon as possible. The world will be just a tiny bit better place IMO.

But you will burn the hydrogen to release the energy in some form. That would seem to indicate some form of combustion would it not?

An interesting article about the Muskmelon, Tesla, and fuel cells. []https://energynews.biz/will-tesla-release-hydrogen-car/ (take the article with a spoonful of salt I think) It’s perhaps another attempt at a pump and dump stock fraud as he does need money for twitter. But, I’ve seen a couple of these blurbs lately and I can’t find where they originate from.

Even the ketamine wonder wants to sound like he thinks Tesla is going to abandon pure EVs and build and sell something with a hydrogen fuel cell evidently. If so,and you can’t rule out it out completely yet, the ICE engine might not be done yet - just swapping a fuel source.

And they can make you pee blood too on a good day…( Don’t ask)

Yep. A traditional forum ages and grows old. And as they get older and older, it becomes harder to draw new members because of the clique of the core membership. I’ve seen a few traditional forums die that death over the years.

And some forums, and I belong to several, the members are literally dying from old age. We are all mostly old and retired. And we lose members every year due to death. Several times a year there is an obituary post for some long time member.

Only if you want enterprise solutions. RedHat does the same. So does Suse. A business should pay for enterprise level supports and solutions don’t you think?

It’s also called ‘the old free stuff’. If free matters that much, you could run Slack or better yet LFS.

All of them.

Extended compliance support. Enterprise level needs require a lot of paperwork just to make sure you are in legal compliance with all rules and regulations. The paperwork alone can be a very heavy costly burden on the IT department.

Any distro wanting to be serious in the enterprise space needs to offer support for that. And businesses will pay for it because it’s cheaper than having a large staff only dedicated to it. It’s part of how Ubuntu can offer you the free stuff and remain a top used distro for the masses. RedHat does the same. RedHat just rebrands the free stuff as Fedora. At least Ubuntu doesn’t hide behind a different brand name when offering sercives they charge for.

From my look at it, Ubuntu is making it clear that they guarantee support for 10 years, rather than just the standard 4 of LTS releases. And they are also guaranteeing compliance for enterprise uses, saving the paperwork load and time. This could make Ubuntu Pro attractive for enterprises and the IT department. Everyone wants to limit the paperwork checks. Us plebes, can make do with the free standard 4 years of LTS support if that’s what you want.

I’m quite sure that any distro that offers enterprise solutions is doing similar things just for the money. RedHat does it for sure. But us plebes don’t ever see it because we use Fedora instead.

If Fedora plays nice this time around, I’m seriously considering Kinninte and Atomic Budgie for 41. (But Fedora always ends badly for me)

Oh god, me too. It’s a Pavlovian response!

Yeah, I’m using Fedora KDE and Budgie on a laptop and mini-desktop. There were a boatload of updates over the weekend. I understand the safety of doing a reboot to be up to date, but it does give me flashbacks to Wondows.

But, you can use sudo dnf upgrade and only need to reboot when you want to. Updating through Discover tends to make you reboot a lot.

And that’s why those aren’t available in the US.

Oh boy! I want to see you get on a highway with that and then drive it 50 miles in traffic at highway speed.

This is the fight that matters.

Remember - Every judge nominated by a president has to be approved by the Senate. Again, it’s Congress that holds the final say in things domestic. They can block anyone they disapprove of.

My took me about 4 hours to install. But I needed to run an outlet with a ground fault outlet for mine. But the water tap is dead easy.

You can get ones that auto magically lift the lid with motion sensor. Add in a heated seat and by the time you get your panties down it’s nice and cozy.
