Solar panels combined with House batteries or Vehicle to grid is cheaper and more reliable than a backup generator, and in many cases, is even cheaper than using energy from the grid.
The majority of materials in each battery and solar panel can be recycled into new batteries and solar panels at end of life (often after 25+ years), so the raw resources are only needed once.
Most new batteries don’t use rare or controversial materials.
Assuming we never get more energy dense batteries, this would be one way to make air transport carbon neutral.
It’s far worse than batteries for cars, but batteries aren’t practical everywhere yet. Every bit helps.
“I need privacy not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.”
The problem is that I’m not capable of imagining the depravities that keep happening before I hear about them.
It’s always the ones you most expect.
Oil refining uses an insane amount of energy.
An electric car could travel 60km (or more) on the electricity used to refine enough fuel to drive 100km.
UpScrolled looks like a promising alternative.
“When did Rage Against the Machine become political?”
They tried to claim Renee Good was the aggressor and the ICE agent who murdered her was the victim.
They have no problem stating the opposite of eyewitness accounts, physical evidence, and video evidence.
I’ll have to give that a try. I’ve been doing a lot of markdown work recently, so it already looks intuitive.
If you want something that looks amazing but takes a little extra effort to learn, LaTeX is great.
If you want intuitive, LibreOffice should do everything you need.
Most migraine medications were made for something else (e.g. blood pressure), and were discovered to help with migraine symptoms in some people.
One of the best file sharing programs. I have it on all of my devices.
I see now why people keep saying “both sides”.
Maybe they wouldn’t have started this if elected, but I’d they’re happy to continue it, I don’t want to see them elected ever again.
Just a regular heat pump, but bending metals instead of compressing gasses. Same principle though.
I recently used AI to make a plugin using a programming language I’ve never used before.
When working on similar projects in the past, I get to the end with a new understanding of the language and its capabilities.
This time, I think it took about 10% longer, was no easier overall (although each step seemed easier to start), and I feel like I still have basically no understanding of the language or its features.
If I were to start over, I’d still have to start learning from the beginning. AI has saved me no time at all, and the plugin still has plenty of subtle bugs I need to remove by hand.
It seems to be correct more often than other AIs.
EGPWS - stops airliners accidentally flying into mountains.
Home Assistant - full control over your smart devices, internet optional.
Sierra Leone hospital - their first hospital that has a neonatal unit, already drastically reducing the maternal mortality rate.
PMSM - electric motor that can exceed 95% efficiency.
Proton - allows almost any game to run on Linux.
3D printing - much cheaper rapid prototyping and custom parts. Even used on the ISS.
