In other words, they want the government to spend a few hundred mill on rolling stock, and still more on other subsidies, on a service that would take nearly twice as long to go between Auckland and Wellington as a bus.
Driving time WLG <=> AKL is about 7.5 hours. Assuming a 15 minute break every 2 hours, that's about 8.5 hours. It's 650km, so that's about 76km/hour on average. I'm sure a train can go as fast / faster than that; definitely not <40km/hour like you suggest.
Yes, indeed, diesel trains emit lower emissions when more than 1/3 full. See also #10 here
And, diesel is not the final solution, but it's a first step. If the protesters would ask for 100% electrified rail it would be shut down as well by opponents that it's too hard. So I think it's a very good option to switch to diesel rail for now.
Sorry, yes as dashboard :)
Thanks for the tip. Got a tablet running HA and thus plugged in 24/7. Just ordered a smart plug to schedule the charging.
DMC5. Bought it last week. Not my favourite game but will finish it before Starfield!
Yeah got a Redmi Note 10 Pro. Brave and Chrome are fine indeed.
It looks like a bug in Firefox, happens on many highend devices as well. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1807364
See this bug that's been open for very long. At the bottom someone has a solution that may work. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1807364
Yes yes I have exactly the same problem. Super annoying!
Interesting. I've got a Redmi Note 10 pro with 6Gb and zero issues with other apps. Also disabled Miui battery saver. Stock ROM, miui.
Got 6GB and never have issues with other apps. Brave and Chrome are fine.
Yep as right now it's a scenic route, so no focus on speed. I agree, right now it's not a very good alternative to driving. That's the point, that should be improved; it should be faster than driving.
