Will have to relocate their headquarters again.....

Wasn't there some statistic that there are more empty houses than homeless people in the US?

But what if you were given a small incentive to make a choice?

1: charge now at maximum speed for 0.30ct/kWh
2: guarantied full in 12h for 0.20ct/kWh

And you know you aren't going anywhere soon. Just sit on the couch with a beer movie and wife and off to bed afterwards??

Came tot the thread hoping to find just this answer,

was not disappointed,
thanx

i see what you did there.
very funny.

Being part of a study imposes a risk, often minute, but still.
For this clear conventions exist regarding their protection and rights.
Simply put, thou shalt not impose a risk on a subject for a study in vein. It should be studied adequately, a study must have a relevant possible outcome and thou shalt publish the results. EVEN IF NO RELEVANT OUTCOME IS FOUND.

Now thousands of subject risked something, for nothing.

So the regeneration cycle is atrocious, but still better than loosing the energy all together.
Can anyone think of alternative good use for this compressed / liquefied air, other than direct conversion back to electricity?

For instance. It's very easy and cheap to power a simple car with compressed air. So imagine having the city's buses driving on the excess energy. The heat required to expand can be used to provide airconditioning in the interior of the bus. No toxic fumes in your inner city has a large health "gain" / value.

Or, to maintain a liquid state, a small continuous leak is needed. The waist air is still very cold, and could be used to keep a large frozen warehouse cold.

anyone other creative alternative uses?

What's this cap thing I keep reading about. As a European I have trouble translating it. Some form of extra service?

Dying on the OR table is extremely rare.
Anesthesia complications or surgery disasters leading to a direct fatality are 1:100.000 or less.

Those who succumb on a table usually entered the OR in a dismal condition, actively bleeding, whilst having a cardiac arrest etc etc.

Post-surgery, that's where the losses occur. Heart attacks, pneumonia, seizures, sepsis.
Not that all of them can be avoided and everybody's mindset is on minimizing them.

Your condition prior to surgery is the best predictor

It all becomes clear now.
And Douglas Adams was so close.
But it's not the mice controlling our lives, it's the microbes!!

Tilting outcomes in petridishes all over the world, steering our emotions and hunger.

We are being scrutinised i'm telling you, like someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Oh the irony!

Our gut has a mind immeasurably superior to ours and regard this earth with envious eyes and they slowly and surely are drawing their plans against us!

cue music......

Recent development has indicated a popular "harmless" sugar additive as a likely culprit of causing two explosions in the occurrence of two nasty infections. Clostridium being one of them.

  Start tackling that shit as prevention.

And yes, hand hygiene helps a lot, but is hard to do, as you would need to wash (with soap, not just alcohol) 100 times a day. That would cause a severe disturbance in the biotope on the nurses/doctors hands by itself!.

Of course, every nerd here knows what you mean with all those acronymns

RAM: Rapid alternating Movements
ROM: Range of Motion
IC: Intensive Care
STEM: S-T-segment elevated myocardial (infarction)

From a pure economical perspective, simply no.

specialized APU's or GPU rigs will always be magnitudes more efficient than some JS script running in a browser instance.

so you end up letting 10.000 people pay the same amount in electricity that 1 person could achieve with his specialized rig. The price of electricity and hardware is the limiting factor in coin generation.

So , is my rig chums along for a year and produces a whole dollar worth of coins, others will have spend 10.000 dollar on electricity, to produce that one dollar.

For now it seems like "free money" for the site operator, it is not his electricity bill, but others are, and will soon realize the idiocy in this scheme.

So, next to feeling the EM waves of my WiFi router i will soon also be able to hear them.

I wonder what "they" will tell me to do....
