- Comment on New solar carport opens at 4,300 meters on Mount Everest 2 months ago:
It’s just a bad headline, I think it’s on highway G318 in Tibet, so you might be able to see Everest from there but you’re probably not starting a hike from the charging station.
- Comment on New solar carport opens at 4,300 meters on Mount Everest 2 months ago:
It’s on the Tibetan side of Everest, and it reads like it’s on China National Highway 318 (G318 on Google maps), which is actually really not very close to Everest but I guess it’s the nearest main route on the northern side. Totally misleading headline. The average elevation of the Tibetan plateau is 4500m so the actual headline is “china builds an EV charging station on a main road in Tibet”. The base camps that most international travellers use are on the Nepalese side.
- Comment on UK Space Command successfully launches first military satellite 2 months ago:
Seems like it. SSTL (who made this satellite) do loads of earth observation stuff already so the MOD probably just bought time on those satellites like you said.
- Comment on Do bike tires increase pressure in summerm 8 months ago:
I think the atmosphere can increase in volume when it gets warm because it’s not a proper closed system, so the pressure doesn’t go up in the same way.

I too watched veritasium today

They meant to say you interpreted the comment incorrectly, but that got autowronged to “commenting correctly”.

They mean outrun in terms of acceleration/speed in a straight line, not outlast

That is well cool
- Comment on A tiny radioactive battery could keep your future phone running for 50 years 10 months ago:
The radioactive source isn’t used for power in smoke detectors, it’s used to detect smoke. What small scale devices use radioactivity actually for power?

Some phones can already do that, like wireless powershare (Samsung)
