  Seriously, I saw some of besoz finances (which is a tiny sliver of the big pie) and he got a loan at 0.1% for $2m. Imagine that, and then he doesn’t even have to repay the loan. It’s just as long as he’d pay interest he’s A okay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar LCOE now 29% lower than any fossil fuel option, says EY⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, no storage, but you can calculate LCOE with storage, and that is pretty close too, problem is scaling it up, we don’t have enough mining capacity to scale it up to replace fossil fuels entirely, either we find multiple types of batteries so we can distribute load away from lithium nickle and cobalt, or we start to scale nuclear, those are our options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thieves return Android phone when they realize it's not an iPhone⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So the way these thieves work most of the time, they don’t know what to do with stolen items or how to liquidate them, so they’ll sell everything that they have to a bit more sophisticated criminal who knows how to liquidate stolen items and knows buyers of everything. Ideally when they steal a phone they don’t care what phone it is, they’ll sell it to their middleman, middleman will pay probably pennies on the dollar since it’s not an iPhone and street level thief wouldn know it’s value, middleman will probably sell it to someone that will gut it and take components out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japanese experimental nuclear fusion reactor inaugurated⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not saying storing potential energy doesn’t work, it works and even though we lose some energy in conversion it’s still better than chemical batteries. No question there, my point is simple, we don’t have enough infrastructure to cover the world’s baseload demand by releasing stored energy. We need something that can produce baseload power 24x7. Geothermal and tidal(debatable but close enough) are the only viable renewable energy sources we have that run 24x7 and they’re not enough to cover the world’s energy demands. Adding PSEH doesn’t cover it either. We need something more and nuclear (fission or fusion) are the only other options that don’t emit CO2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japanese experimental nuclear fusion reactor inaugurated⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dams are a whole another story ecologically but even leaving that aside, we are talking 200-300GW capacity currently in the world for PHES, even if you construct damns on every possible lakes, estimates are around 1000GW that world can build. World currently consumes close to 8000GW on baseload. We won’t even cover 15% of baseload with PHES.

  If you’re trolling with your storage as magical solution keep trolling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japanese experimental nuclear fusion reactor inaugurated⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are, and they are good solution but they are not good all and end all solutions, both wind and solar cannot meet baseload and when you start talking about battery storage as solution, scaling it up requires more metal mining than will ever be sustainable, so pursuit of fusion, pursuit of tidal energy, pursuit of better nuclear, pursuit of better geothermal are viable exploration options as we need baseload generation substitute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like I need a separate body towel (big towel), and 3 other small towels for hair, face, and hands. 4 towels in total. Is that normal?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly if your towel lasts 8 years, kudos man you’re doing better than me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like I need a separate body towel (big towel), and 3 other small towels for hair, face, and hands. 4 towels in total. Is that normal?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be devil’s advocate, it’s still 3 times embodied carbon of a small towel, that doesn’t need to hurt the planet. And you’ll probably replace towels every year or so.

  I know it’s nitpicking and annoying to point out such a small thing when people are buying 3year cruise tickets. But it’s still true.
