Right now, conditions are not right for liquid water to exist on the surface of Mars. Atmospheric pressure is too low, water goes from ice directly to vapour with no liquid phase in between. "Life as we know it" requires liquid water as a medium. Possibly at the bottom of the deepest valleys on Mars or deep (like km) underneath the surface we might still find remnants of life.

What we will most likely find on Mars with our rovers is a history of life once existing. Life, from a billion years ago when it was warmer and wetter and plate tectonics still worked and essential chemicals weren't locked up in rocks.

Let me know if I can explain it more clearly.

Multi-part MIME containing inline images is actually what you're looking for and it's fairly easy to implement.

Here's an example. They handwave over the html section that actually refers to the inline images that they embed, but that's the basic layout you need.

Australian here, in Finland. Holy shit it seems everyone smokes like chimneys here.

Never really thought about how much smoking has declined in Aus over the last 20-40 years, but yeah coming over here has been an eye opener.

As an Australian I find the name Freddy quite apt then.

There is an old saying in Aus that runs along the lines of, "even Blind Freddy could see that....", indicating that the solution is so obvious that even a blind person could see it.

Having your Freddy be Blind Freddy makes its useless answers completely expected. Maybe that was the devs internal name for it and it escaped to marketing haha.

But, critically, it's not a fucking CAPACITIVE BUTTON, and I've never accidentally hit it once.

Yeah. I use resume a fair bit because you can set it to the speed you want and if your cruising gets interrupted by a slow truck, or roadworks, or by passing through a town, you can just press it and the car will accelerate back up to the set speed. Not like a rocket, maybe a couple of km/hr per second.

But still, like you say, easily-triggered capacitive buttons for critical functions, holy shit that is a bad idea.

"Oh yeah, everyone else is fine, it's just Australia that became a weird apocalyptic hellscape"

That's just Tuesday in Australia, really.

I had a HQ panel van twenty-something years ago, and I miss it now. My parents had an XB GT when I was young which is the base vehicle for the V8 interceptor in the movie, they were iconic Australian muscle cars of the time.

You're right, I try to use {insert cryptocurrency that I'm heavily financially invested in} for my every day transactions as much as possible, you should too, and you can get amazing returns as well! It's win-win nobody loses ❤️

Maybe a large fries ,and we could all have one... or even two fries each!

that works how the article describes, where it will accelerate you to whatever the last cruise control speed was.

That's what the resume function does normally?

That is:

  • You switch on and activate cruise control
  • You've tripped it while active by pressing the brake

At this point cruise control is still "hot" and pressing resume will turn the cruise control back on, usually with a speed interlock so you can't activate it at a dead stop.

If the car has "one pedal driving" then inadvertent activation could be pretty surprising, and would require you to lift your foot off the accelerator and hit the brakes. Coupled with the rocket-ship acceleration of most EVs this could easily cause an accident I guess.

Webrings were themed though, so if your interest was cars, or cats, or ham radio, you could get on a webring for one of those topics and cycle through them.

And it wasn't all random, you could move left or right on the ring , or jump randomly. So a good webring manager could group sites together as you went around the ring as well.
