Are you not allowed to leave your seat at the office? Are you going to get written up for walking outside the office for some fresh air? Or going to another area/building to chat with people who you don't directly work with? Did you know some employers actually support you taking some time for your own physical and mental health on the clock? If you can do those things in the office, you can most certainly do them at home, if I'm going for a walk the doggo is coming with me.

Speaking of facepalms.... The vaccine is intended to eliminate the high experienced by the drug, not its painkilling properties.

You only need it if you have an opioid addiction.

"Never spend your own money spend somebody else's." Dear lord man... are you just now discovering capitalism? I operate a delivery truck; guess who pays for my truck, fuel, maintenance, accountant, insurance, branding, marketing, etc etc etc... MY CUSTOMERS DO! Money doesn't come out of thin air, what a concept eh? And show me one government agency that operates with even a fraction of the efficiency that SpaceX does, you can't.

If anything, having limitless power would probably cause MORE consumption which is the main driver of our pollution problems. If you think fusion power is a "necessity" then it's clear you don't know much about fusion. Fusion has never achieved net positive electrical generation, plants would be insanely expensive (ITER - $22 billion), fusion is a pipe dream for this generation, even for those born yesterday.

The vast majority of people don't give a shit about self-sufficiency, nor do the care to spend tens of thousands at a bare minimum on a system they are expected to upkeep, that's if they can even afford to do so. Power grids in most locations are cheap, reliable, and require no extra work or thought from property owners, people will choose that option without a second thought. Maybe if you live in a place with extreme weather and frequent outages that also happens to get a ton of clear skies, but that's a small percentage of the country.

Pro tip: If you are going to critique someones numbers, you have to first comprehend what is being said.

Only one way to find out... I started the "fad" a couple weeks ago, restricting my eating time to 8 hours a day and 16 hours of fasting with some 24+ hours fasts thrown in here and there. I'm less concerted about weight loss and more focused on cholesterol and an A1C that puts my blood glucose levels on the edge of pre-diabetic. I'm decently fit and athletic, healthy diet, middle of the "healthy weight" for my height and sex. I plan to fast this way every day for 3 months, though still keeping my typical diet, and get some bloodwork done to see if my numbers improve at all. It does seem effective for weight loss even though that's not my focus. It's a much easier plan to follow than calorie restriction, I just eat when I'm hungry during my 8 hour window... but I'm not as hungry after the first few days of the fasting which is causing me to run a slight calorie deficit. Interested to see if this has any positive or negative effect on my insulin resistance and cholesterol levels, I've had bloodwork done regularly for the past 8 years so I have a pretty good baseline.

Private prisons hold a pretty small percentage of prisoners, I think its peak was around 8% and it has been dropping since then.

No, they don't have the same batteries. The software limits charging voltage to dramatically extend the life of the battery. Only charging an 18650 cell to 70% of it's capacity can quadruple the life of the cell.

Nope? I've used thousands of 18650 cells (the same used in Teslas) for applications like ebikes and portable power systems, not knowing how to get the most out of your batteries is expensive ignorance. Anyone who works with these cells knows that keeping them within the middle of the voltage band and not charging them fully can quadruple (or more) the life of the cells.

Cows kill 22 people a year, they must be dangerous too right? I've built several battery packs using old laptop cells, so long as you monitor them (which literally everyone who uses these does) you will not have a problem. I've done destructive testing using all the tests you list, the result has always been less than spectacular. I expected hammering a screwdriver through a cell would give me a show, but they do little more than a little hiss and get warm to the touch. RC lithium pouches can be very explosive, modern 18650's from name brand laptops... not so much. Plus many of us take precautions like individually fusing each cell in addition to monitoring parallel strings of cells, worst that will happen is a cell will burn through a fuse. No offense, but you have no idea what you are talking about.

Tons of uses. I built a battery pack for my ebike with some old laptop cells. 50+ mile range at tops out at 34mph, makes a great commuter, been putting on 300 miles every month and the cells have stayed in perfect balance.

What about the cost of energy storage? Producing it is not enough if you can't use it at-will.
