Windows ME wasn't a memory hog, its big problem was destroying backwards compatibility and making changes for no reason. Windows 8 is Windows ME redux, though.

TFS states that one of the outputs will be the "same material as seashells" - which as a geologist, I interpret as calcium carbonate (two minerals, multiple microstructures), calcium phosphate (several minerals, but much less common, because phosphate is frequently a limiting nutrient), or ... well that's about it, unless you're an insect and make a shell out of chitin.

So, where, in "sunlight, electricity and seawater are you going to find the calcium ions?

Obviously, they're relying on calcium already dissolved in their seawater.

Which is already maintained at quite low levels because there are petatonnes of coral reefs, seashells and the like already taking Ca++ ions out of seawater. They already have problems with falling seawater pH (so, increasing seawater acidity) making it harder for them to maintain their shells, leading to thinned shells, reduced growth rates, and decreasing mechanical strength of individual shells, and coral banks in aggregate. So I suspect that the ultimate utility of this approach is going to be very limited.

And now that the linked articles have opened in another tab ... the unquoted bits of the headline read : Some scientists are raising red flags. Yep. They're trying to perform some sleight of hand about separating the acidic and alkaline fluids produced (so, they're doing electrolysis. Meh. But where they get their calcium ions from in one side, and what rock they crush on the other hand ... I bet they're going to put limestone in on one side, double-count it, and use it to provide calcium ions on the other side. Which will lead, molecule for molecule, to one molecule of CO2 going in, and one molecule coming out. BFD.

Does the other link say anything? Nope, it's just hydrogen boilerplate.

This process will do precisely zero for net CO2 emissions, and at best will move some emissions from exhaust pipes to distant power plants.

Don't they teach chemistry at school these days?

BMW make them. The i3 has an ICE that can charge the battery, and let you limp home. It's not really worth it though, just get a bigger battery. There are plenty of chargers, and if you run out you call the breakdown service and they come out with a mobile rapid charger.

Hey, I didn't mean to upset you.

We have an in going genocide that is the first to be live streamed and documented on social media in real time. It's hard not to feel outraged at what is happening, and frankly it's hard to see how the state of Israel can come back from this without some huge changes. The Zionists have over played their hand, but it goes deeper than that. There are huge social problems in Israel, maybe worse than SA was.

I'm not trying to tell you how you should live your life, but we have to be able to criticise Israel and Zionists. It's a matter of life and death. It's really unfortunate, but believe me when I say I understand from personal experience. I'm not the one you should be angry at.

I'm sure there has been an increase in abuse, both of Jews and of Muslims, and Arabs. But that's the issue. Zionists really want to conflate the ethnicity with the religion with their genocide. They even put the Star of David on the Israeli flag. It's deliberate, to endanger you, because it furthers their aims.

I'm not against them removing the apps, I'm against the headline trying to make me feel a certain way. Present the facts, I'll decide how I feel about them.

When you put a bunch of cylinders in a box you by definition have wasted space.

When you put boxes in a box you can have no wasted space.

How does using cylindrical cells improve density?

Using cylindrical cells also means having to have more parallelism to achieve a specific capacity, which means more connections, which means less reliability. This is a big part of the reason why post-collision Tesla model S batteries are unsafe for RV power storage. You can't reasonably detect bonding faults.

More to the point, it's unsustainable to just let anyone do anything just because they want to. There's a broad range of behaviors which fall into that non-category, and some of them are fine because they're not hurting anyone and some of them aren't because they are. Right to swing fist, end of my nose, etc etc.

I enjoy vroom vroom noises myself but I also appreciate that there are more important issues at hand than my own selfish gratification.

You literally cannot prevent that in an app which can make consensual nude images. Therefore the word nonconsensual is being used in order to trigger people into having a specific opinion. A better description is "an app which can be used to create fake nude images" since it can't literally show you what someone would look like unclothed.

The interesting thing about that statement is that it's the fascists that have brought us to this point where we have all these highly polluting coal plants.

They are if the end user can charge at home and aren't if they can't.
The intelligent thing to do would have been to mandate charger installation on new construction or any significant remodel or electrical system upgrade, years ago. But we can't agree to do things intelligently because we have to fight with each other over whether corporations have a right to make a profit. (They don't have one written into the law, but they seem to have a de facto one in that they can buy protectionist laws.)

Yes, that's my point. That limitation is crippling, and there was no good reason for the law to restrict their authority to navigable waterways, only a bad and corporatism-serving reason.

Cryptocurrency miners can buy land in a catbox state and put in a solar array. It's going to be cheaper than coal. Then they can mine while the sun shines. This isn't a move to stop cryptocurrency. This is a move to force coal plant operators to do what they claimed they were doing all along. We can find coal plants emitting more than they are legally allowed as fast as we can pay people to sample their emissions.

I disagree with you because I've learned to follow the money.

The phrase was coined in the 1976 film "All the President's Men", which by the way is pretty great if you're into things like that. You do have to have an attention span longer than the time between a SOCK and a POW in a Marvel movie, though.

You are welcome to catch up to the wisdom of over four decades ago.

Twitter only needed to show a profit for one year, and they only showed a profit for one year. What a remarkable coincidence!
