Another use for an inexpensive long lasting battery is to store energy from solar panels for dark periods. In this application storage density isn't the primary concern.

You could end up with a contempt of court charge or a default decision if you don't check it regularly.

If you ever been to a sporting event they check you pretty thoroughly for bottles so they can gouge you at concessions.

At the end of the article they mention that the radiation level of the lake is 3x background radiation.. which in the grand scheme of things isn't that much.

I've never heard of Dystopium before and there is a lake full of it?

I would like to know where that statistic comes from- is that just for the cost of labor? How do the costs compare when you must build a facility? Then there are disposal costs and taxes.....

Maybe they were just smart and saw the writing on the wall for coin operated games.

The only way to hit 160mph at Pike's Peak is vertically.

That could be a cool app- something where you could take a picture of the UPC label and it would scan a list of stores for price and availability. I would be surprised if it doesn't already exist.

You can envision something with an umbrella or sail like structure with carbon fiber supports. Perhaps the panels would be actually manufactured in zero-g and take advantage of novel properties of crystal growth in this environment.
The point is the actual structures would not resemble anything we have on earth.

The analysis seems to miss an important point about the difference of space- zero gravity. I am in the southwest and there are several solar installations in our area and the panels are mounted on some pretty elaborate framework. I wouldn't be surprised if the support structures rival the cost of the actual panels.

In space you could use extremely thin panels with little or no support.

DMSO is one of the most effective solvents known and makes the solution pass readily into the eyeball.

Good code is boring and bland, lacking excitement and surprises.... and mostly goes unnoticed.

Parents and society have invested the most resources in a young adult.

With master builders involved I think it is likely that Lego provided the legos for the project at no cost.
