In Scotland they do.

C++ may not get obsessed with profiles, but the committee is.

I thought we were avoiding annotations?

And these are annotations that may be unchecked and incorrect?

[[indeterminate]] for non-static data members. Seems like a no-brainer. Can that be retroactively applied to C++26?

rsjaffe

I think it does. I'm in the process of setting it up. I'll know in a couple of weeks.

If you have a Tesla Powerwall, you can use a Tesla Wallconnector and set it to only charge when the house battery is full.

rsjaffe

It does.

Actually, it's an EVSE: electric vehicle supply equipment. It's just a fancy power outlet that safely provides electricity to the car. The car has a charger that converts that AC electricity to DC for the batteries. That's how level 2 charging works.

https://inverrestaurant.co.uk/ . Very special restaurant by a castle ruin on Loch Fyne. Unfortunately, it's out of the way if you're going from Campbeltown to Oban.

Tarbert's a pretty town to have a meal in, and it's definitely right on the route between the two towns.

For outdoor power equipment you’d need M18, so if you’re trying to get only one battery type, I’d go for M18 tools. Of course, some things are only M12, so if you need those, you’d just have to accept that you’re going to have two battery types, in which case the M12 surge and drill would be fine. M12 only: installation driver, pruner.

If I were not considering outdoor power equipment (e.g., blower, mower, edger) and you're not considering construction projects (I don't know what you mean by "home improvement"--is it putting in a new light fixture or removing a wall?), I'd get 12 volt products as they're generally lighter to hold and you probably would find a version of anything you'd need in 12V.

Surge driver, drill are the two must haves. After that, I'd buy as needed: installation driver is great for more delicate work but does cost a decent amount. Multitool is great for working around tile, grout, cutting holes in drywall, all sorts of small cutting activities. Hackzall is great for cutting stuff (and a great help in the garden--cutting roots interfering with digging a hole for a new plant, pruning medium sized branches.

For non-battery tools there's no reason to stick with a particular manufacturer. Just get the best you want of each. I like Wiha multiblade screwdrivers (model 77791 is what I use), for instance.

Yeah. I was worried about rolling shutter with precapture, but this is pretty darn good. Waiting for my RIV to arrive with anticipation.

It’s hard to spay or neuter a hookworm. You need tiny tools and steady hands. Too expensive.

I live in California’s almond country. Driving on a road past those hives you soon learn to distinguish the wet thwack of a bee hitting the windshield from the usual insect victim.

This. You’ll have more versatility by getting a camera that’s significantly different from your current one.

Agree. I think the https://electronics.sony.com/imaging/lenses/full-frame-e-mount/p/sel24105g-2 24-105 F4 Sony lens is the best for travel. Brings in much more range, and with the high pixel count camera, allows you to have a lot of reach (can crop in to something even farther away).

2825 is ok for light-duty homeowner type stuff, so if that's your thing and you see a great deal for it, go ahead with it.

If you do a lot every day, the 18V Surge, as the 18V line has batteries with larger total Watt-hour capacity, so you'll have fewer battery swaps and it'll be easier to stay supplied with charged batteries. Otherwise, either 12 or 18V Surge.

The installation driver is fine if you have easy-to-drive screws, but not if you're needing some oomph.

Reminds me of the WKRP episode with the turkey drop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkeys_Away

Yeah. The M18 has a slowish chain speed but an unusual chain, with one cutter per link, so it cuts faster than you might expect for that speed.
