- Comment on Google Deploying Huge CO2 Battery Facilities with Company Energy Dome 3 days ago:
CO2 is a nice substance for this due to its relatively high temperature of fusion at modest pressures (and cheap ubiquity). I’d wondered why this wasn’t more of a thing with air, using excess energy to liquefy it, to later let the LN2 to be vaporized/expanded in a turbine and the LOX to be used in rockets or something. Or maybe use excess power to electrolyze water for fuel cell use later.
But yeah, CO2 makes a lot of sense despite its relatively poorer specific heat ratio for adiabatic expansion compared to mono and diatomic gasses.

That’s a surprisingly apt description of Hell, at least for me.
My friend was at a much nicer hospital, albeit they didn’t see anything made of gold. They had their own room. It certainly wasn’t paradise; I think the recovery from sepsis gave them a clarity of mind and purpose that transcended the casual discomforts. Plus they were medevac’d 400km from their home, so they were more socially isolated than normal. Sort of like a monastic experience? Thankfully they have excellent insurance, so the medical costs weren’t a giant concern like they would be for most people in the US, which probably would have been mentally debilitating otherwise.

My best friend spent a week in the hospital with a life-threatening condition. Besides the almost dying part, it was the most relaxing and life-refocusing event of their adult life and they’re grateful to have experienced it. A forced reset and some compulsory solitude can be a blessing sometimes.
Were I to ever go to prison, I think I would personally love to get some solitary confinement time.

It would be nice to see shelter and support being provided, rather than a bisected bench designed to discourage the ability to comfortably lie down for a night’s rest.

Nothing wrong with it if you were, tho. Nothing wrong with you not being, tho. Nothing wrong ever. Except maybe nonconsensual anal sex, but only because it’s nonconsensual.

Nah, I get that exposed flesh isn’t always comfortable or safe and the practical solution is to just steal the skin of some other animal (or convert crude oil into super soft knit fabrics). I’m just of the personal mindset that if someone is comfortable enough in their own skin that they are completely fine going about their business in the buff, that the rest of society shouldn’t lose its shit and just be like, “k whatever u do u naked person wear sunblock.”

This is a case where every other organism on earth, except for maybe the junk bug, looks at humans with a confused air of disdain. Like, why did you manufacture this intractable problem by mandating clothing and shaming nudity in the first place?

Hotdogs are fine. They’re already cooked and ready to eat straight out of the package. Some might even say they’re palatable in this format. None will ever say they’re healthy.
