I'm not sure if it had any lasting effects. Maybe a burning hatred of Grammarly ads.

Boom. That was exactly my issue.

I would have sunk hours into this - thanks Ned O'Leary - you made my day!

I used to live in Edinburgh and the roads were like an uneven tar patchwork.

"There is also a caveat to China's rapid build-out of renewable capacity because at the same time it is still adding substantial coal-fired generation."

"China already accounts for 53% of the world's 2,095 GW of operating coal-fired generating capacity, a share likely to increase in coming years as more coal plants are retired in the developed world."

Gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you've never taken LSD or shrooms... personally, taking them every day sounds nightmarishly exhausing (can't speak to MDMA).

In my experience, these drugs don't mask your problems, they surface/amplify them.

Giving credit where it is due, I do agree that the Tesla cruise control is great. I was driving it in Germany and Austria and it maintaining correct speed going down mountains and hills was just chefs-kiss perfect.

But - I think it is not correct to say that you don't need a speed limiter because of TACC or that it can replace a speed limiter. And I believe I got into a good rhythm with the Tesla (with TACC on, hold stick down when approaching a speed change sign, release when I pass it, no beeps of disable/re-enable- although this still causes overspeed alert even if car is slowing to match new speed).

I had the overspeed alert set very strict - which is why it was beeping at me - but without a speed limiter this is the only way to force myself to not go overspeed everytime I accelerate while looking at traffic rather than the speedometer.

Driving in 20kmh areas, TACC didn't switch on for me, and I hated having to re-engage TACC every time I slowed to enter a roundabout. I literally just want to concentrate on driving in these complex suburban situations, but I don't want to have my photo taken by radar, I just want the car to limit my speed, or have the speed available if I really need it suddenly (at the extreme end of the throttle range)

Have you used speed limiters in other vehicles? I know I have driven a Peugeot 2008 which could read speed signs then you could double press a button to set your limiter to that speed.

I want that, but without needing to press a button. I actually want to remap throttle response over the range of the throttle, and have a particular range of the throttle which is "sticky" at the speed limit... like a "gravity well" of throttle range that will maintain the speed limit. Does that make sense?

I was thinking about building myself a system of QR labelled ziplock bags (inc. antistatic ones) and QR labelled containers.

The main concept of my particular system would be to have a camera covering my workspace, and a camera covering a storage area for containers.

The system would automatically track which QR labelled bags are in which QR labelled container, and also keep a 'last seen' graph of bags that are near other bags, and containers near other containers, so that you don't have to spend too much effort maintaining the system, and when you want a list of things to work with, the system could help you perform a 'computer enhanced rummage' by using your smartphone and have it highlight containers that you want, and ziplocks that contain the things on your list.

Take all those ziplocks out, lay them on your workspace, boom, they are all checked out of the containers by the overhead camera.

Place the containers back on your shelves, boom, the shelve cameras know the positions of the boxes.

When you are done with the items, place a box on your workspace (recognised by camera) and put the packets back in the one box (those packets then checked in to that box).

I don't have a nice workspace to build the system yet, but when I settle into a place I am going to spend more time thinking about it.

It uses SSH as the method of opening the remote tunnel to the public server.
