We should push out American ones as well
- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 1 week ago:
And? I do my groceries by foot or bicycle and it goes just fine. Same with public transit. There’s also home delivery, that goes by bicyclists.
Groceries are mostly doable I’d say. But what if you need a larger or heavier item? Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to get rid of the car and am bicyclist myself, but realistically? Between bad weather (while rain can be done, it is not a very pleasant experience, moreover when it’s cold as well), shit public transport and more complicated payloads and such, it quickly gets complicated. And all the kudos to you if that works for you, honestly.

36 hrs sounds quite well suited for a i.e. 30kWh battery that you could charge it during night or whenever electricity is cheaper. Depends on your case of course, but it probably could be done like that.
- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 1 week ago:
Then you might consider a big enough battery if that’s not in MWhs. You’d charge it during night perhaps and switch to it when needed?

Can’t you manage it with a battery and wind/solar?
- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 1 week ago:
Bad weather and payload capacity wants a word with you.

Aggregate? It shouldn’t be necessary these days, care to elaborate?

*his poverty, right

Awww, Windows. You can mitigate that by using a PIN on bitlocker drive. Possibly.
- Comment on Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe From US Authorities 1 week ago:
Cloud is much more problematic here as a shitton of companies rely on it.
- Comment on US government shutdown now longest ever 1 week ago:
It’s the best and most beautiful shutdown ever, nobody could do it so magnificent except for perhaps Lincoln, but he didn’t do it.

Ditto. Also insanely configurable.

- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 3 weeks ago:
It’s still roughly half of the NMC. I wonder what’s the charging speed.
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 3 weeks ago:
Yep
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 3 weeks ago:
The price 🤯👀
- Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started 3 weeks ago:
It’s unlikely you will see a car powered by those in near future if ever as they have relatively low density. But you’ll definitely see those as home battery and such where size/density doesn’t matter that much. And I bet it’s less inflammable as well.
- Comment on Ukraine Seeks to Purchase Over 100 Gripen Jets 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think there are plenty of dogfights in this era. Airplanes are mostly used for dropping bombs and rockets against ground targets from a safe distance and shooting down cruise missiles and drones.

Kudos to you to see through them.
- Comment on Israeli guards stripped and filmed Thunberg naked, wrote 'whore' on her luggage 4 weeks ago:
Israel wasn’t really much different at any point in time. The only difference is that now they are doing it on a bigger scale.
- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 4 weeks ago:
Somehow I’m not surprised. They simply don’t care, it seems.
- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 4 weeks ago:
Sorry, I have no idea, but I see there is a trial option, so I’d say yes to former at least.
- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 5 weeks ago:
My biggest grip with Tidal is that their catalogue is a mess - albums from same named artists grouped together.
- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 5 weeks ago:
Try Tidal. At least it pays artists more and has better sound quality. Allegedly. The downside is that their catalogue is more messed up like albums from different same named artists grouped together.

There are some (many is really a stretch) but not available in many countries nor supported by many merchants.

We need Digital Euro yesterday.
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 1 month ago:
You have some valid points. Yes, economical aspect is crap, countries should push laws demanding that producers guarantee recycling and/or state clear lifecycle of the battery (actually it should be applied to all products). Even still, there are companies that do recycle batteries for profit, so it’s not that absurd. But you miss the whole other aspect with different chemistries, many even harmless to the environment. You are focused only on current li-ion it seems which are not very network storage friendly anyway.
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 1 month ago:
I think you are wrong then. First, even Li-ion batteries are recyclable to a huge amount, usually the problem is that different manufacturers pack them differently without any blueprint and then it’s much harder to recycle them. Then there are a ton of different chemistries with ones really harmless (i.e. using sodium instead of lithium) but they come with less energy density. Which isn’t that important when it comes to energy storage for the network purpose but it’s important when it comes to cars and portable electronic devices. Also different chemistries have different lifetime, i.e. LFP batteries have better durability and are less fire prone than the standard li-ion.

Sure, but even then we don’t have a solution today. It’s all in the fuzzy future.
