Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schultmeister and Jason

DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame.

Welcome to Grumpy old geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Jason,

I've been trying to get used to Celsius because that's what the rest of the world uses. That

isn't the United States and we use it here as well. We got a deep freeze warning here in Toronto.

It is minus 20 degrees Celsius currently. The North Pole today is minus 15 degrees Celsius. It

is colder than the North Pole here right now. That's what you can't. From moving to Canada.

Yeah, well, you know, it's free healthcare freeze. I don't know. You need it for your toes to

get reattached after all the frostbite. I just saw Instagram the other day of a comedian. He's like,

you know, Celsius is great for water. But if you want air, do Fahrenheit because it makes more sense.

We haven't gotten as cold as it's going to get today. I just popped this over to Fahrenheit. It

will get to minus 11 degrees Fahrenheit today. Oh, that's not bad. That's cold. That's cold. But,

I mean, geez, I mean, I was in Chicago. It was negative 70 with the windshield downtown.

That's not including windshield there. And I'm we're right on the lake too. So there is wind

chill involved here, which is making it considerably colder. Okay. Okay. Here's the deal. Stay inside.

Well, yes. Yes. I will. We got a bit of follow up Peter wrote in said there's a good precedent

for gravity power. In fact, the world's first EV, which sort of runs at 100% efficiency if you

factor out the tons of rocks. It carries downhill is powered by gravity. And you sent a link to

the world's first electric dump truck stores as much energy as eight Tesla model S cars.

Because the vehicles that go as electric, there's no need to heat up the brakes when descending.

This is because the enormous electric engine acts as a generator and recharges the battery pack.

That same energy is then used to help the vehicle travel back up the hill.
