I was wrong, it’s about 300-500w. I own a Tesla (yes, I know) and it goes down around 8-10% a day if it’s on “sentry mode” and not plugged in. That’s not typically an issue as there’s rarely a reason to have it in sentry mode long term somewhere that it doesn’t have power, usually just a few hours at most if we’re out, so it’ll lose 1-3%.

I’d say it’s pretty reasonable. Six to seven cameras, the cellular modem, and the computer system running for processing the video for motion and tamper detection, alerting the owner, and being on standby for remote commands.
- Comment on Win win 6 days ago:
Not even close to enough. Teslas turn all of that off at 20%. Running enough of the system to capture and process video takes about 500-1000w, so around 1% battery every hour or two.

CrossCode was SO good! It’s a great game and I’m always thrilled when I find others that played it.
Did you know its studio, Radical Fish, has another game coming?

It’s a problem for men with penises that are long when flaccid. Their penises can touch the inside of the bowl when they’re seated unless they support it. It’s gross.

I never tell people I have a PhD. It’s rude, plus I don’t have one.

This has been my issue. I’ll order something from a seller and it shows up two days later, delivered by Amazon.

Detergent sheets rock! I’ve been traveling and need hypoallergenic detergent. I’ve carried 24 loads worth with practically no added weight to my suitcase and it won’t leak everywhere if it gets hit.

- Comment on How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach? 2 weeks ago:
I learned Cuban Spanish. Upon going to Spain, I was told I spoke with the English vocabulary and accent equivalent to a southern yokel from the 1970s.

Electric bikes are super efficient, I’m a big fan.
While the petrol and electric vehicles are surprisingly efficient moving a given unit of weight, that also includes their own weight, making their overall energy use…not great.
- Comment on Murica 4 weeks ago:
Yes and no. They take less energy to move a given unit of weight around, but they’re massively heavy so they expend tons of energy moving themselves the entire time.
- Comment on Murica 4 weeks ago:
I’m back with better data. I’m assuming the travel path is perfectly flat because I don’t feel like modeling elevation changes. I’m being energy efficient (read: lazy).
For cycling, I’m using the global average human weight of 62 kg, assuming the cycle is 8 kg, and the pace is 10 kph, which is pretty relaxed.
For walking, I’m using the 62 kg person walking at 4 kph.
For driving with petrol, we’ll use the same spherical 62 kg human and a 2024 Toyota Prius with a fuel efficiency of 4.8 L/100 km and a mass of 1570 kg. One liter of petrol is approximately 8174 kcal. Double the energy expenditure for an estimate for your typical SUV.
For electric, I chose a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N with an energy efficiency of 21.2 kWh/100km and a mass of 2235 kg. One kilowatt-hour is approximately 860 kcal.
Walking: 0.74 kcal•km^-1^•kg^-1^
Cycling: 0.34 kcal•km^-1^•kg^-1^
Driving(p): 0.24 kcal•km^-1^•kg^-1^
Driving(e): 0.08 kcal•km^-1^•kg^-1^ - Comment on Murica 4 weeks ago:
It still doesn’t give us kcal•km^-1^•kg^-1^, which is what I was looking for. We could do some math to get us some loose estimates, though. I’ll do exactly that and report back shortly.
- Comment on Murica 4 weeks ago:
Humans are actually unusually energy efficient for mammals when walking and even more so when cycling. Here’s a little info graphic showing a breakdown.
One thing to keep in mind if you have a dog is they’re less energy efficient than humans. While dogs can run faster, a reasonably fit human can easily out distance an equally fit dog when walking or distance running.

Jamie Dimon is a moronic, completely useless excuse for a human. Maybe he works seven days a week because his overwhelming incompetence means it takes him that long to complete what a competent individual would do in one or two days?

Probably a radiolarian skeleton. Check out pictures of the cornutella genus. The morphology and relative size to the tardigrades match up.

All commercial AIs are filled with censorship. What’s interesting about it is learning what different societies think is worth censoring and how they censor it.
