Wait, don't Bluetooth devices randomize their macs like wifi to hide their identities from unpaired devices?

That doesn't sound right. 124ml of olive oil will probably do funny things to your shit and make you feel weird, but I very much doubt it'll kill you unless you inject it straight into your aorta.

It's a list of words for each letter in the English alphabet so they they can be spelled unambiguously over the radio.

What's the LD50 of high quality olive oil?

That's not what the article is saying though. The article is talking about angular resolution. Hubble could focus on the surface of the moon all it wants, it still won't have the angular resolution to resolve things as small as a human at that distance. Its lenses are far too small to distinguish things smaller than about 100 meters when looking at the moon IIRC..

They found a very interesting way of selling their hybrid cars as full on EVs where I live. Their e-power stuff are small ICEs working as generators for electric motors that then drive the wheels. Apparently the fact that the wheels get all their power from an electric motor makes it definitely not a hybrid no sir, despite the fact the cars have tiny ass batteries and the single source of power for the whole system is the ICE. Also they somehow have worse fuel efficiency than many contemporary ICEs that cost quite a bit less. I don't understand Nissan.

The vehicles also make vibrator companies?

What is "best experience" though? It's such a subjective thing. For you it might be pushing a lever back and forth. For every one person like you, I bet there are hundreds who'd rather leave that menial task to the car. Manual transmission can quickly stop being "fun and engaging" and become a chore, especially if you drive through traffic regularly.

I, or rather my left leg, personally do not consider manual transmission as a good experience at all. I also think paying much less for fuel is also a very good experience for my wallet. Though of course I don't drive a Lamborghini or even a nice M4, so there's that.

Plenty of brands stopped offering manual variants of plenty of models. IIRC BMW practically begged people to stop asking for manual variants, saying it just does not make any sense to mess with the supply chain and the production line and the car itself just to put an objectively inferior transmission inside it.

Phones routinely look for specific SSIDs by their names. Imagine you're strolling through a mall while your appearance changes every 2 seconds, but you keep yelling out the names of 5 other peoole. People will not know who you are really, but they will be able to follow you around because they will know that it's you who yells those 5 names no matter what you look like.
