12 days agoI’m the same. I use Google maybe 1-2 times a year and only after exhausting my search terms in DDG, most of the time Google also can’t find what I’m looking for.

5·12 days agoCountries have different fiscal years! In New Zealand for example, the new fiscal year begins in April, and in Australia it begins in July.
It’s more likely than you think!
2·19 days agoI’ve got a similar mantra - “it’s not hard, I just have to do it”. And then when it’s done I follow up with a “see, not hard, just had to actually do it”
Oh it wasn’t a criticism, I just thought it was a funny image, someone holding a live mouse and being really serious about it.
When an ordinary person holds a mouse long enough, and takes it seriously enough?
I was expecting this sentence to be a “bird in the hand” type metaphor.

That’s to Ceres, Mars is only 9 months, so how do we get from 9 months to 23k hours?
Interesting read, this part caught my eye:
Launching a crewed spacecraft to Mars might require 2 to 4 megawatts of power, meaning multiple MPD thrusters operating for more than 23,000 hours. This presents a challenge as the hardware operates at high temperatures, and the team needs to prove that the thruster’s components can withstand the heat for multiple hours during upcoming tests.
Would the thrusters really run the full 23k hours? That’s just shy of 960 days, surely once you reach a certain speed you wouldn’t need to run them continuously at full power.
Wasn’t there the case of that “AI startup” that was literally just outsourcing to a call centre in India? Literally Actually Indians
The personnel growth plan foresees expanding from 185,420 active-duty soldiers today to 260,000 by the mid-2030s
Ah, so that’s where my tax euros are going.
A self driving vehicle that you own, sure, but the point of a taxi is that you aren’t supposed to drive. A passenger doesn’t need a drivers license to enter a taxi, doesn’t need to think about how much they’ve had to drink. Also im not from the US but do these things even have steering wheels and pedals? I tried searching and found some articles where Wayne unveiled cars without them, but couldn’t see if they’re now in use commonly.
