It’s on the Tibetan side of Everest, and it reads like it’s on China National Highway 318 (G318 on Google maps), which is actually really not very close to Everest but I guess it’s the nearest main route on the northern side. Totally misleading headline. The average elevation of the Tibetan plateau is 4500m so the actual headline is “china builds an EV charging station on a main road in Tibet”. The base camps that most international travellers use are on the Nepalese side.
He was, and was part of the reason remain failed because they thought it would be an easy win
Interesting, fair enough, that makes sense. So your receiver was getting a 5.1 signal, but it really did just ignore half the channels when you set it to output 2.1.
That’s not the problem I think most people here are complaining about though, which is sound mixing / dynamic range / editing making speech too quiet, rather than having the wrong settings.
I don’t think missing channels get muted, they just get shared into what’s available. A 5.1 soundtrack played on a 2.1 system is going to share Centre between L and R, and put SL onto L and SR onto R. I have an old surround sound system that can’t decode the new codecs that Disney plus etc use, but the Chromecast knows this so just sends it out a 2 channel boring signal. Dialogue is fine because it just goes to the two speakers equally, rather than be cut out. If your system is set up to output to 5.1 speakers but you just haven’t plugged in the centre speaker, then that’s a different thing and you would miss stuff, same as if you didn’t plug in the front left speaker.
I too watched veritasium today
They meant to say you interpreted the comment incorrectly, but that got autowronged to “commenting correctly”.

They mean outrun in terms of acceleration/speed in a straight line, not outlast
Why are they so far away? There is logic to what you’re saying, according to this website Americans drive on average twice as far as Italians/Germans etc. so if you scale by that America is still slightly higher but not as bad.
You’re right, but I think the idea of Farage being in charge of pushing through any sorts of ideas (even if it’s reforms that are good) is making people uncomfortable, which is what could be read from your first comment.
I think people don’t like your suggestion/implication of Farage being the one pushing through reforms more than liking Tories.
That is well cool
The radioactive source isn’t used for power in smoke detectors, it’s used to detect smoke. What small scale devices use radioactivity actually for power?
They’ll test it on the ground and flying slowly first before going fast to make sure it’s safe enough.
Some phones can already do that, like wireless powershare (Samsung)
Not in elementary school
It’s just a bad headline, I think it’s on highway G318 in Tibet, so you might be able to see Everest from there but you’re probably not starting a hike from the charging station.
