- Comment on Switzerland Unveils World’s First Operational Solar Railway Project 19 hours ago:
Space is at a premium in many parts of Switzerland and a lot of the available land is privately owned. This MIGHT be the easiest way to deploy solar in the specific rail sections being considered and may only generate a small portion of the needed electricity.
So it might be the simplest effective idea for the region.
- Comment on In the not too distant past this was a thing 1 week ago:
There was one case in the last 3 years that I thought about getting one. I started running and hated having to need my phone on me and needed a watch either way.
Then I went to dinner and saw how a friend was continuously and unconsciously flicking their eyes down at their smartwatch every few minute if they weren’t talking and decided against it. I’m getting old…
- Comment on UK bans EU cheese and meat imports to prevent foot and mouth disease spreading - BBC News 1 week ago:
Can foot and mouth pass through the meat and cheese? I thought food products remained safe during F&M outbreaks…
- Comment on Help me choose hardware for my first custom setup 5 weeks ago:
I’m specifically looking into this at the moment as I have been gifted a pi 5.
Most websites say avoid trying to host jellyfin on a pi 5 (codec and hardware issues are frequently noted). Do you have experience that shows these are non-issues?
- Comment on Can I just use my thumb? 5 weeks ago:
Not sure if /s, but this could be from a time before phones were widely available and getting a doctor meant leaving the victim for a substantial amount of time.
- Comment on Extreme online violence may be linked to rise of ‘0 to 100’ killers, experts say 1 month ago:
Obvs there is a darkwebmindvirus from 4chan and we need to give governments open access to all our data, otherwise another ceo might receive a rude text message.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 1 month ago:
I understand the sentiment you are going for, but I think it is a little cheap regarding the opinion of 300 million+ people.
In my horribly narrow opinion, the American freedom is simply the freedom to choose. Nothing more, nothing less. The freedom to own a tiger, buy a tank or be “Florida man” for a day.
It is not “free” from manipulation and sometimes it really feels like a 5 year old choosing to do the opposite of the right thing just “because”.
Sidenote: I ABSOLUTELY do not think it is the best way to build a nurturing society, but I get why it has such a passionate supporter base.
- Comment on China: 'Ineffective' generic drugs fuel rare public anger as country's procurement system is accused of costs being cut at the expense of people's safety 2 months ago:
As far as I understand, the CCP has a central procurement system where it purchases a significant portion of the expected need for a drug in bulk each year. This “forces” the drug companies to offer a much lower price (or lose the sale to a competitor), allowing the medication to be provided cheaper to the people. Similar models exist in most countries with a form of centralised health care. In China however, there have been reports of close to break-even or loss prices for the manufacturers, leading to potential cutting of corners by the manufacturers.
Wouldn’t capatilistic be allowing the companies to sell their drugs for a higher price to end users directly?

- Comment on How did I miss this important Australian historical event? 3 months ago:
Is that your take from a 2 second discussion with a police offer? Or are you referring to something else?
I don’t think I’ve heard very many (or any) people speak openly about supporting the colonization of Palestine and the genocide of the Arab Palestinians.

Ew. Get your 6G macrowave transmitter needle away from me you pervert.
- Comment on It took 68 years for the world to reach 1 terawatt of solar PV capacity. It took just two years to double it | RenewEconomy 5 months ago:
Global energy demand is not expected to fall, especially as more people gain access through economic development of traditionally poorer nations.
That is why increasing renewable generation capacity is so important now.

- Comment on Sodium-ion battery startup scores large automotive supply contract for a 10 GWh production line 5 months ago:
Ah wow, I had current lfp at around 220-250 but that looks like it’s on the R&D lines and not in series production yet
I guess with the sheer amount of research being lumped into Lithium batteries at the moment, I would be surprised if it is overtaken by anything short term at least in the auto space. Let’s see…
- Comment on Sodium-ion battery startup scores large automotive supply contract for a 10 GWh production line 5 months ago:
Just to clarify, the article states these are for low voltage systems inside cars, and not powering cars themselves.
Which makes more sense as the density of Na-ion is ~30% less that Li-ion.
- Comment on Singapore Approves 2,600-Mile Undersea Cable to Import Solar Energy from Australia 5 months ago:
Do the economics of nuclear make sense though? A quick search showed around $5k/kW capacity. That’s $5 billion per GW. Then there’s permit and build times on top of that.
Surely renewables + distributed storage is going to become key?
- Comment on Singapore Approves 2,600-Mile Undersea Cable to Import Solar Energy from Australia 5 months ago:
Is there already extensive precedence of undersea, long distance power distribution? I could imagine the losses would be outrageous at that distance.
