Additionally gasoline degrades after some time and would be mostly useless after 4-5 years without substantial additives and work to bring it back into shape.

I believe kerosine can last up to 10yrs

It doesn’t make sense to make battle droids hyper intelligent. They are supposed to be mass produced, why would you make them expensive?

We see that they can make hyper intelligent droids, TCW has assassin droids and commander droids.

They are clearly more expensive, since some are uniquely adorned with decorations.

Astromechs would have to be on the more intelligent side, since they handle flying, mechanic work, navigation, etc.

The average B1 droids doesn’t need much more than chatgpt.

It’s because LLMs don’t work with letters. They work with tokens that are converted to vectors.

They literally don’t see the word “strawberry” in order to count the letters.

Splitting the letter probably separates them into individual tokens

Keep in mind each droid is not the same. This was eluded to in episode 1. The battle droids were cheap so they had a centralized controller.

TCW tv show first episode calls this out where the battle droids explicitly said “we are independent thinkers”

It’s written in nvidia instruction set PTX which is part of CUDA ecosystem.

Hardly going to affect nvidia

You can install draw.io

It’s knowledge isn’t updated.

It doesn’t know current events, so this isn’t a big gotcha moment

Twitter still has shares, they just aren’t publicly traded

Where are you shopping? Only having a 5lb bag of jasmine rice is weird.

Just use powdered instead of the fresh herbs. I would consider doubling up on most spices if you are using powdered.

Garlic and ginger both can be frozen. They also last a good while, so you can keep them in your fridge

You can always ask the butcher to get you a smaller piece of meat. You can also separate pieces of meat and freeze part.

If produce is by weight, you can break the package to be smaller. Even things like squash can be cut in half (ask the produce people, places like Aldis will not do this).

Buy canned and frozen veggies as much as possible, they last longer. They won’t be as tasty, but will reduce your food waste.

Cook larger portions and freeze the leftovers and eat them in a week or two.

As far as spices, dishes, etc. look at them as “investments” cause you won’t be using them all on one meal…

I turned up my center channel like 5db, (mostly) solved the issue for me

The cybertruck design is dangerous.

The sharp edges with raw steel can cut someone.

Someone did already get cut badly on their cybertruck

They roll the edges of steel for a reason, it makes it safer

That looks to be 2 years old. It’s probably much different than the current one

It was Van Halen

Becareful, because if you don’t clean the jugs, they will eventually not be safe to drink out of

There are. Especially for commercial vehicles:

No it doesn’t? The minimum spec says 64gb of storage, but windows itself takes 20-30gb.

Adequately is a difficult determination.

Is it adequate if there are state maintained dirt roads? In some states, the state or county chooses not to pave all of their roads.

Is it adequately funded if they have potholes? Due to weather conditions, some states are notorious for potholes.

Is it adequately funded if the road gets washed out or carried away by flooding? California gets mudslides that take out sections of roads, other states get sinkholes or hurricanes/tornados destroying their roads

How long can one of these issues plague a road before we consider them underfunded?

My opinion is that the US has too many roads. Most roads are maintained by county or municipalities, and are funded through infinite growth model.

When a developer creates a new subdivision, they pave the roads. Once done, they usually relinquish these roads to the county/city who are responsible for maintaining the roads.

Typically maintenance is low until they require replacing. The cities and counties don’t save money or plan well for replacing these roads and rely on new tax revenue to fund replacing them.

It builds a slowly ballooning road maintenance cost that someone will have to pay. I believe someone made a video about this very fact. I don’t have the link handy

Sales tax is either included already or not charged.

The posted price is the posted price, no additional taxes on top of it.

Although they add 99/100ths to the price, so $3.00/gal is really charged at $3.0099/gal.

Of course this gets rounded up 😒
