I'm 58 yrs old and have been hearing about the 100% provable scientific planetary meltdown OR the freezing nuclear winter for 50 years. It is the exact same argument today it was then and we're still here.
My first person observation of the "Argument" over the years is that it is a straw man...
Ive been getting phone spam since they all had wires and still get them 40 years later by the bushel. the govt got them labeled as likely spam WOOHOO. How much did that "Label" cost us in 40+ years.
To look for a solution you must first identify the problem. The Problem is 100% supply! In a...
Maybe they can program them to eat cancer and then die? But more likely it will just create a worse kind of cancer. Nature should not be trifled with as we have seen recently....
Maybe Chuck and Brandon can fix the Straw Bot Boogeyman like they fixed the rest of th deteriorating economy. When will some of you realize the govt inserting its ham fists into anything does nothing but create a larger problem.
I don't see a need to carry supercaps on vehicle. I'm thinking a supercapacitor "box" the size of a refrigerator in a persons garage able to store enough electrons to feed one or two vehicles completely off the grid if necessary. The charging of the supercap could be offset to off peak hours and...
The only way i see this EV stuff scaling up successfully is that each "Charging Station" has a giant supercapacitor inside that can dump into a car quickly then SLOWLY recharge in off peak hours. Your backyard solar panels and windmills could also be supplemental.
What irks me most in this...
Detroit ...is it an anomaly that places generationally trapped by a powerful political gang don't seem to be doing very well? My mother could not give her Detroit house away when she finally left. But lived in it for 30+ years for next to nothing so no real loss of value. In other localities not...
Complex "Money" arguments are being made that can obfuscate core fundamental truths. Understanding fundamentals helps with making financial decisions without need to understand larger picture.
National monetary systems are tools of control and under constant manipulation.
Crypto's are a...
^+1 ...if that is Zuck thinking himself cute stealth genius referring to MetaVerse product. The rest of the world transparently sees MetaData in big bold text on a glowing billboard. Him and his minions that brained up that name live in a V-bubble with Hal2000 spiking the digital punch bowl.
Put an electric on any track with equivalent chassis ICE it will lose unless you tweak the rules to adjust. The battery weight is the whole ballgame. Part of what drew me to love racing was the idea of a weak human being controlling a visceral beastly fire spitting monster and forcing it to...
Society should not need to be pushed coerced or lied to to make E vehicles happen. The reason we lost the horses for machines was they did do everything better faster and cheaper. Unfortunately the same is not true for this change trying to be forced upon US under a "No Time To Think" imminent...
Forget what you think you know for a second. An ICE vehicle pulls into a local station and refuels in minutes and that infrastructure already exists. Now picture the street you live on has all E-Vehicles. Each and every house will need their electric service doubled. Can you even comprehend how...
After they cancel the internal combustion engine and E-TCO goes thru the roof you will not own your own transportation unless you email ends with .gov. Youll go on your phone app, punch in the destination and moments later a state owned Johnny cab will show up. Before departure your social score...
I work literally less than a mile from the Waymo vehicle facility in AZ. I see the cars and also semi trucks doing loops all the time. IMO they found an abberation in the wild so theyre mapping around it and refining their algos.
A kid i went to school with his house had a power pole with large lines going down the block right outside his bedroom window. He got a rare form of cancer as a teenager and had his leg amputated above the knee. Years later a work buddys parent found their lakeside dream home and moved in. I saw...
In recent news the crabs in the English channel appear to be hypnotized by micro electric fields emanating from the windmills power transmission lines. It is causing them to just sit, not forage food or chase girl crabs and fear is it will damage the food chain there. ...Must be Crab equivalent...
...The physics of batteries and electric motors for the most part are locked inside known physical laws since they were discovered. They found a battery in the desert of ancient Iraq and you know it looked like a ceramic version of a modern D cell. Other than changing the chemistry of a batterry...
Demonstrably false? ...really please demonstrate we are waiting. How about refuting real points made? I say the economics of hauling around 10 times the weight of fuel in batteries has an actual cost to it. Instead the typical answer is to fall back to the "Settled Science" without even one word...
Ok so if googles says it is 10 to 1 that makes your 1 gallon gas tank car has 80 lbs of batteries. ...you want to make your Ecar go the same distance as a gas car with a 10 gallon tank ....VIOLA ...800 lbs of batteries! That is like driving the car around with 3 other goons in the passenger...
You dont know that you dont know. the energy in ~8 lb container of gasoline is equivelent to about 800lbs of batteries. The routinely ignored inconvenient truth of E is that the economic/tech stack ups are massive compared to chemical energy for given amount of work output. the physics of...
as long as it doesn't start preaching about vaccine or green energy being post-salvation for humanity it should be OK. The first captured the ether of the virtual world so this one needs to either explore that or introduce some new anomolous twist.
My severely dented wallet agrees... the HDR popping ...er exploding color is AWESOME! ....now how to shove the old 1080ti into my wallet?
The combo had OLOY 2x 8gb memory in it ...seems rated well online but i never heard of it before.
I used to wash a lot of filthy industrial analog pcb's in tap water with dish detergent and dry on hot sidewaly in the sun but VLSI electronics are a different animal. Wash a glass in water, If you see water spots after it dries then that is not good water to clean pcb's in. The white powdery...
When i used to fix amps and such I always populated my spare parts bins as i went along. Order parts as you need them and get extras once you see common part. The old NTE catalogs were good for finding common cross-reference parts.
A clever chap with a clever quip :) . ...but actually he is right. heat is generated when the light photons strike something that has mass and energy is released. A cubic foot of space may contain 1 hydrogen atom which may have measurable heat ...but empty space does not.
It is a slippery slope when we have any group questioning the value to the community of another group that legally purchased the electricity. Once that becomes OK the next domino is that there are air breathers that dont add any value to the community and their air should be stopped. Crypto...
Monetary system is only as good as the trust in it. Inferring that they'll know you're paying hookers with it so ppl may not buy into it. ...unless your daddys the Prez.
The Miners are not creating wealth, they're manufacturing the serialized crypto lock boxes that units of VALUE will be stored in. And they are getting paid going rate for that work like any other job.
"Money" is all bogus and only worth the TRUST people have in it as a store of value. Monetary notes issued by organized groups are subject to manipulation. Manipulation that inflates the money supply is same as stealing VALUE directly from your bank account. What crypto does is tie the units of...
Of course they don't like anything not under their complete control. It reeks with the stench of freedom that is perfume to everyone else. When Elon realized his Dog Coin had caught on of course he would dump the competition and drive value down. Maybe the genius whale planned that when he...
Ummmmm if you have a replicator.... and you can make anything... why cant you make Latinum? ...or more replicators? the need for money seems to be counter to obvious trek reality. In any case the Nvidia made CCPBorg implants will inhibit unapproved thoughts and behaviours.
Captain Obvious would like to thank the sponsors for this breakthrough tech.... Purdue U, Krylon, Rustoleum and Dutch boy. :) ...Oh and 3M, Dow Corning must be in there somewhere too.
Like all the short sighted solutions the professional idea people churn out ...the carbon footprint of...
