Actually, I've seen it stated that the only good way to extinguish a lithium battery fire is water.... lots and lots of water to a) remove the heat, and b) flood out the air feeding the fire.

Any decent EV has strong thermal management of the battery pack, plus a dedicated Battery Management System, which manages temperature, charge rate, and the overall levels of charge/discharge allowed...

Actually, many EVs still have a drivetrain comprising a single speed gearbox, differential and half shafts, so likely also some universal joints in there too.
The advantage of motors on the wheels...

Well, in the USA where much of their electricity is from coal or oil it would be expected that prices will have to trend upwards.
However, in the case of the link re ptrol companies, you need to...

If you're ok with a no frills setup, then North Shore Motels and Holiday Park wiil have options... a bunkroom being the lowest tier (no toilet or TV or cooking within the room), but they have lots of...

I've been with Domains4Less, and I've had the same experience where a screw-up at the accounts dept leads to a week of the site being down, and being locked out of emails.
The techs would...

Yeah, printer ink works differently than combining coloured lights, where mixing red, green and blue give you white light (additive mixing). Ink and paint work on subtractive mixing, where red ink...

My anxiety issues gave me the shakes. I was given a very, very short course of Clonazepam, which was wonderful stuff. It seems it has potential for abuse (recreational), as it was like having a...

If that trip to the workshop involved walking over any lawn, then you need to scour that ground ASAP, coz mowers are excellent at finding lost specs... finding and destroying that is.

On top of...

Even the simpler Google Maps can handle coordinates, and you don't need the degrees symbol, it seems to figure it out if you just put a space between the degrees, minutes and seconds. Just type it...

A haka at rugby will be a yawn when viewed from the spectator area. The TV will give you far better coverage.
Agree that Rotorua would likely be your best option, and best yet if done indoors, on a...

Agreed. I'd rather let others be the guinnea pigs before subjecting myself to it. This is however tempered by the fact that I can now largely self isolate fairly well.
If I was still working (which...

Allegedly there's a green light for medical use regardless of which way the referendum goes. It's just got some inertia as the docs need to get upskilled and an attitude shift with respect to...

Control Panel > Device Manager > Hardware - Any sign of a network adapter in the list? Any icons with an X or a ! over the icon to indicate troubles? (my experience ends at Win 7, so this might not...

You can use that outlet to connect it to a Wifi transmitter / extender, but if you're wondering whether a cable out of the modem will act like a transmission aerial, then no, it won't, as the signal...

It is a bit of a mixed bag, whichever way the vote goes.
I'm erring on the side of decriminalising it. Making it illegal certainly hasn't achieved anything in preventing it's widespread use.
Rules...

If you have a PVR to record your digital TV... take a look at the back for analogue connectors. It'll do a more reliable, trouble free capture, editting and conversion of VHS to digital than any PC...

Got data / internet enabled on that phone?

Dugi! An intelligent take on lighting!
I share your frustration re light fittings. There are so many designs that only serve to cut out the light that you are paying to pump into the room.

My former workplace had toilet facilities meant to service a whole bunch of businesses. The drain on the floor must have been a wet type, and connected to the sewer pipes, because in the summer...

I never touch Outlook, but maybe you could try the old, traditional shortcut keys that most apps use... Alt F O (Alt, File, Open) and see if any dialog pops up.

Another thought... may drag and...

Yeah, I'm bloody livid about these selfish idiots. NZ as a whole sacrificed billions to get rid of the virus, and millions more disappear weekly in order to keep us safe from all these arrivals....

Yeah, the latest Firefox is pretty good at blocking many ads and trackers. Malwarebytes has additional ad/tracker blocking which covers the rest quite nicely.

Yeah, heat, or a fan, or a bad capacitor.
When a fan goes noisy it also slows down due to going out of balance. Often just gently touching the centre of the spinning fan will temporarily correct the...

I had a drive permanently write protect itself as a result of detecting a fault. In theory, it's to save the users precious data. In reality it just made the stick utterly useless. I tried the...
