So your argument is basically “lots of people discriminate, so that means that the discrimination is correct”? Because we can find about a million examples from history to learn why that is not a sound argument.

And also a struggling economy.

Societally normalized biphobia?

I’d say one downside with those buildings is that sound travels really easily between neighboring apartments and they often tend to get quite cold in the winter, although I’m not sure how other buildings from the same time period compare.

Definitely beats being homeless though.

In theory, as long as there is nothing ferromagnetic inside what you put into the center of the coil, there shouldn’t be anything happening at all, harmful or otherwise.

That being said, please don’t stick bodyparts inside workshop tools.

So, A0 has an area of 1 m² and it’s halved for each next one in the series, giving A85 a surface area of 1/(2⁸⁵) m² = 2.585×10^-26 m² = 0.02585 pm².

The smallest atom is the hydrogen atom with a Van der Waals radius of 120 pm which gives it a surface area of 4×π×120² pm² = 180956 pm² or just over 7 million times larger than the A85.

While everyone else seems to be slugging H20 from 40-ounce Stanley tumblers, I have never understood the appeal of drinking plain, tasteless water all day.

The question feels more pressing than ever given rising temperatures, heat waves

The combination of these two takes has to be among the dumbest things I’ve ever read, what do they think those other drinks are made of? I’m entirely certain that the process of making another drink uses up more water than just drinking that volume of water in the first place.

This seems to imply that you just replace all fossil fuel energy sources with batteries which does not even make sense. Once the batteries have been discharged, how would you recharge them?

What should actually be done is scale up renewable power generation and then you’d use the batteries to balance out the difference between production and consumption, which takes a lot less batteries than trying to replace energy generation with energy storage (which, again, would not even work).

Pumped hydro isn’t feasible everywhere, nor is geothermal

That’s the whole point of diversifying, use the sources that are available in the places where they are available.

Biofuel burning emits greenhouse gases

The point is that the greenhouse gases that they emit have already been captured from the atmosphere, which makes them carbon neutral.

Sodium ion batteries are a new technology and we don’t know how well it scales

It uses a lot of the same type of production as lithium ion, it is already being produced by some of the largest battery manufacturers on the planet, and being sold on the market, and we have years of research to give us a good idea of how it will evolve.

And the others aren’t proven technologies, so they may not be around for decades

Neither will fission plants. Even if we decided to start building out today, there are years before we actually see construction start, not to mention commissioning and eventually power production. We’re probably talking about the 2040s at that point.

No, the point is that the anti-nuclear crowd is trying to make it seem like there is no role for nuclear energy in the future alongside renewable energy

Some people, sure. But the person above wasn’t talking about completely removing all fission, just that we should have started building nuclear plants twenty years ago because it’s slow and comes with a massive up-front cost, and at this point we have other alternatives that are cheaper and faster to install. Nuclear fission plants are also a very centralized source of energy, so if there are issues in the future as a result of climate change (similar to what they’ve been experiencing in France) then you lose a lot of grid capacity all at once while trying to resolve it.

I think nuclear is a reliable source of power, I’ve been an advocate for it, but I don’t believe it’s the right solution at this point in time.

There’s pumped hydro, geothermal energy, and biofuel, in the future we’ll likely see some wave power as well. The point isn’t to have one technology for the entire grid but to have a diverse and distributed energy system.

For storage there are also many more options than just lithium ion batteries. We have sodium ion if you just want to swap battery for battery, but then there are also for example iron-air batteries that are projected to be dirt cheap, redox flow batteries, pressurized air, cryogenic energy, sand batteries for storing heat, hydrogen electrolysis, etc.

Not only will this make this a power grid that is less dependent on supply chains that are impacted by geopolitical conflicts, but it will also make it more resilient as the weather continues becoming more extreme.

Don’t forget that he has a back problem from which he is suffering chronic pain, for which I assume that jail is not providing adequate adjustments. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is living with a lot of physical agony.

NMC cells typically operate around 1-2C and LFP cells 1-3C. If you want to achieve 10C then you’re probably gonna have to look at LTO cells. All of these are lithium-ion chemistries but they each have different characteristics.

Is your reasoning really “I’m not interested in understanding how it works, I’m just interested in being told I’m right”?

There are tons of videos explaining how quantum computing can breach traditional encryption, and there are a bunch of videos explaining how to make encryption that can’t easily be breached by quantum computing.

The voting machines could also be rigged without anyone knowing since the agency responsible for election integrity has no people in it.

I’m not in the list either, this is bullshit.

The party is using this money to push their reach hard. It’s hard to use social media in Sweden without coming across clips of Markus Allard doing an “epic takedown” of another local politician or ranting with righteous fury against some waste of taxpayer money and the message is resonating with a lot of voters, for a lot of them the Örebro Party just seems like the “common sense” choice. There is a strong possibility that they will make it into parliament at this fall’s election and they would not have been able to have this reach without this funding.

Rogue One was leaps and bounds above the sequel trilogy but I would still say it’s not a great movie. Once it gets up to speed and the whole cast has been properly introduced, it’s fantastic, but it takes so much of the movie until it gets to that point. Even as a fan, the first half of the movie is a slog where the main character has very little agency or drive, and they’re basically just being brought along instead of driving the plot. It’s a movie that, in my opinion, starts poorly and ends amazingly.

They’re from somewhere around the year 41900

But cycle life is a central parameter for the cost of a battery, the longer it lasts the more rarely you have to replace it. In the longer term, a battery that lasts twice as long can be practically half as expensive.

There is also a Swedish stereotype that Finnish people always have knives and that they take them out when they’re drunk.
