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.

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.

You don’t need to put it in the gear opposite to the direction it’ll roll. Generally you want to put it in the gear with the lowest ratio (which in my car I think is first), as that will require the most amount of force to turn the engine. But also some engines shouldn’t be rotated backwards because that might damage them. So that would mean put it in first facing downhill or reverse facing uphill.

Seems like it. SSTL (who made this satellite) do loads of earth observation stuff already so the MOD probably just bought time on those satellites like you said.

You can’t really grow the same crop in the same field season after season (without fertiliser), because they’ll sap the specific nutrients they need from the soil. If you do that over and over eventually the soil wont have any food for that crop. Growing something different each season that takes different nutrients from the soil lets it recover the other ones. I don’t know how it recovers on its own, circle of life stuff probably. Modern farming can cheat by artificially replenishing the nutrients with fertiliser.

I didn’t think the vogons were the ones with the answer to the ultimate question in H2G2

He was, and was part of the reason remain failed because they thought it would be an easy win

An LGBT?

I think the atmosphere can increase in volume when it gets warm because it’s not a proper closed system, so the pressure doesn’t go up in the same way.

I too watched veritasium today

They meant to say you interpreted the comment incorrectly, but that got autowronged to “commenting correctly”.

I saw Tesla the other day that someone had fitted a fake V8 exhaust speaker to, so don’t expect the obnoxiousness to go away.

They mean outrun in terms of acceleration/speed in a straight line, not outlast

Flight MH17

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.

Have you got the customisation service turned on in settings? I’ve never seen an ad in my notifications and until recently I was using a Samsung of similar age.

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.
