I have a 1 element induction cooktop with a 2000 W rating, so roughly 2 kWh at max setting, but I think it is really fast as it doesn't waste energy heating the air around it. Breakfast would take 10min to set up on propane, but now if I doze off, I might burn my food

edit: If you want, you could also build your own solar stove if it makes sense in your region

A1 model has multiple reports, I'm not sure about others yet

You might have had only bad coffee tbh. I'd at least give it a try with different stuff if you are ever inclined to try it again

How do you go about watering it down? Just pour room temp water into the brew?

Thank you very much Bournemouth. Glad it wasn't 115 FC again

I think there is a small mistake in your numbers, please correct me if I misunderstood: 5km trip is £0.375, roundtrip £0.75, which totals £3.75/week

edit: The numbers will jump up quickly when you start comparing the numbers when those maintenance windows start to hit for the car vs bike

Damn, that first zombie map on Old World was tough on hard. I almost gave up. Great game

I think he probably means those Aedes mosquitos that can carry Dengue and Malaria

China Green Tech Firms Target New Consumers Hit by Iran War Energy Shock Lili Pike

China’s clean technology titans, hungry for export markets to boost flagging profits, aren’t letting a crisis go to waste. Manufacturers of electric vehicles, batteries, and solar panels have been wooing nations looking to wean themselves off costly fuel imports since the Iran war triggered a global energy shock.

One of the country’s largest solar manufacturers Jinko Solar Co. inked two deals at the end of April with partners in Nigeria — in a region where diesel prices have soared 40% since the start of the crisis — while auto manufacturers are hunting avenues to extend sales into locations including Europe, and energy storage firms are lifting overseas shipments.

“Chinese manufacturers are catching an export tailwind from this worldwide rush, which is helping to support their prices in overseas markets,” said Chia Chen, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence.

Exports of lithium-ion batteries jumped in March from the previous year while shipments of solar panels doubled on the previous month to reach a record, according to calculations by UK-based think tank Ember. Along with rising fuel prices, overseas shipments were propelled by the looming expiration of an export tax rebate for solar at the start of April, and a reduction for batteries.

A total of 50 countries had record solar imports from China in March, with Nigeria recording a 519% surge from February and notable spikes in Malaysia, Ethiopia, and Kenya.

“Nigerian end users can now reduce their reliance on diesel generators and access reliable, clean, and affordable self-generated power,” Jinko said in a statement, after striking a deal with Fouani Nigeria to supply 500 megawatts of equipment for use across shopping malls, factories, and homes.

Canada, among global markets hit by higher fuel prices, is ripe for new EV sales, according to Chery Automobile Co., one of China’s largest automakers. The company flew nearly two dozen Canadian car dealers to the Beijing auto show which concluded earlier this month.

“Since the crisis, oil prices have risen in many places, some are experiencing supply shortages. So everyone’s perception of electrified vehicles is changing,” Chery’s chairman Yin Tongyue said in an interview. “There’s been a rise in orders and also some Western manufacturers are urgently looking for ways to partner with Chinese EV makers.”

A sales manager for another Chinese EV producer, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said the company is scouting for partners in southern and eastern Europe where customers are sensitive to gasoline price hikes.

Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co. is also sizing up new opportunities in Vietnam, where the government has responded to the Iran war by pushing for an expansion of EV charging infrastructure. “Now our customers have started talking to us about whether they can import our new energy vehicle products,” said Zhang Enming, a general manager in the company’s Southeast Asia region, in an interview.

China Passenger Car Association data for April showed exports of EVs soared 112% from the previous year. Official customs data for April has not yet been released, but in March EV exports grew 53% from the year before. Sizable EV markets that saw Chinese imports rise in March include Australia — up 67% from February, Belgium — up 63%, and Germany at 34%. Early indicators from April follow that trend. China’s top EV exporter BYD saw overseas sales jump more than 71% from the previous year.

Chinese battery exports rose just over a third in March from the previous year, and shipments from major supplier Sungrow Power Supply Co. are likely to exceed forecasts as the war stokes demand, according to BI’s Chen. Gotion High-Tech Co. Ltd. is aiming to double overseas shipments this year, the company said last month.

Even wind turbine producers, whose projects can take years to come to fruition, are using the energy crisis to drum up new opportunities.

In Europe, there is an “urgent need” for renewable energy sources and offshore wind power, Zhang Chuanwei, chairman of manufacturer Ming Yang Smart Energy Group said in an interview following a visit to the region. The equipment supplier is aiming to set up production in Europe after the United Kingdom rejected a plan to locate a plant in Scotland.

However, disruption to markets in the Middle East is seen weighing on some exports, even if the broader trend is positive.

“I think overall the overseas sales will increase but in some regions we need to make practical plans to accommodate the changes,” Victor Yang, senior vice president of Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd., told reporters at the Beijing auto show last month. The Iran conflict is “a challenge for everybody,” he said.

For the curious:

Every human is a little bit sad all the time because they know they will die, but that knowledge is what gives life meaning

Smaller chainsaws can be more dangerous than bigger ones, watch out for kickbacks and learn how to use a chainsaw properly so you don't mangle yourself up. Do not get fooled by the lack of noise from an electric chainsaw, they can still fuck you up

Having said that, yes, you'll be able to handle them more easily. I don't know enough about that brand to comment on it, but as you said, you already have a bunch of batteries available for it. Watch your footing and have an understanding of possible tension and compression forces on those limbs

But do you really need it? Are debris a common occurrence on your hike? I won't deny chainsaws can be useful to have around, but you mentioned it would only be used on the trail and you already have a sawsaw

Btw, which blade are you using on your sawsaw? You might want to get a pruning blade if you are using a standard carpentry blade, as they can be way faster too

Did she also forage some sticks for c/stickenthusiasts? !stick@sh.itjust.works

I only see them scattered everywhere. It might be a niche that still needs to be fulfilled

I know a bunch related to architecture or then and now for specific cities, but I have never seen one focused only on the transition you mentioned

I'm quite curious to know if there is any out there

Oh yeah, the puzzle, I wonder what they looked like and their solutions. I couldn't get past the first one lol

Closest to zero doesn't belong to me to be honest :)

I don't remember the exact numbers, but mine was something around 0:00:8# while comradepupivy was around 0:00:3#

Otherwise, great game. Can't wait for season 4

The article actually gives 3 options:

The only ways to make the deletion stick are to disable Chrome's AI features through chrome://flags or enterprise policy tooling that home users do not generally have, or to uninstall Chrome entirely

It can probably be reverted at their whim at any time
You probably don't have access to it
It is the most realistic option, just use another non chromium browser

I don't know where those numbers came from, tbh. A year ago they had some CNC wood kits that cost € 170

No longer available 😭

I think catbox.moe/ is a more permanent solution these days
