- Comment on Solid-state batteries 1 day ago:
End range anxiety and fire hazzards with amazing longevity
Current batteries can be DC fast charged. Range anxiety is a Gas and Oil media term and real EV users do not define this as a problem.
Fire hazards -EVs already catch fire at a fraction of the rate of ICE cars. If you are worried about fires, keep away from any ICE BMW or Ford, where in Ford’s case, the gas tank can fall out.
Longevity - CATL packs are seeing over 700,000 kms in taxis already. The EV motors fail much more frequently due to coolant leaks.
Solid state requires clean room manufacturing, so they will have a place in specialized applications because they will always cost a lot more.

Um…Netflix has games.

Drop temp to 180c. The low layer height and line widths are just remelting the plastic.

[This is a typical Prusa experience and why I stopped buying them.] (youtu.be/fbQjWMXGZ4k)
- Comment on 3D printing for beginners 1 week ago:
Prusas are for people who like to fuck around with printers and beta testing as part of a “community”. We’re past that point, thankfully.
- Comment on 3D printing for beginners 1 week ago:
See recent reviews of the INDX Prusa… typical design issues.
I just bought a U1. I print protein models, which are the most difficult things to print and the very first print on the U1 in two colors with a third plastic interface for supports was perfect.
- Comment on The Prusa Core One INDX isn't a functional 3D printer (yet) - Made With Layers 1 week ago:
And that’s why I bought a Snapmaker. Josef Prusa needs to grow up and look at the competition these days. People don’t want to be Alpha testing his printers to get a sense of “community” any more. His printers are for people who want to fuck around with printers more than actually printing anything.
- Comment on The solar boom is rapidly transforming emerging economies 1 week ago:
Some of these agencies had a ridiculous number of people doing sweet fuck all. Over 10,000 worked at Health Canada, one of the bloated and inefficient agencies. CFIA had 6,400 people.
I know you work in government but the model of poor productivity is not sustainable in a country with this GDP.
- Comment on The solar boom is rapidly transforming emerging economies 1 week ago:
Carney is actively fighting imported solar panels.

because the extruder slows down around corners.

first layer does not have an “infill”.
- Comment on California just made it legal to turn balconies into tiny power plants 2 weeks ago:
Good luck with that. Boomers think solar panels are ugly.

They need to transport the entire writing team to the surface of the sun, or nearest star.

I checked out at the musical. From what I see, it got much worse. Get real writers.

Africa is not a country.
Sasol Chemical is in South Africa.
- Comment on How I Installed DIY Solar Power and Started Running My House on Batteries 4 weeks ago:
In Canada our electric code requires everything be connected to the breaker box so that electricians can work safely knowing there is no current in the building.
if a panel is plugged into the existing house circuits, shutting off the main breaker will shut off the current.
- Comment on How I Installed DIY Solar Power and Started Running My House on Batteries 4 weeks ago:
Increase in house value due to solar system is likely making this moot.
don’t buy this bullshit. has no effect on value, and likely has a negative impact as many DIY systems are hacks.
- Comment on US Federal Reserve raises interest rates for the first time since 2023 5 weeks ago:
This is Trump’s guy, which means the US debt load is fucked.
- Comment on Removed the stupid loud beep from the kettle It beeps when it’s done. 5 weeks ago:
I have similar issues with insanely bright LEDs on everything.
- Comment on Do you trust this power strip? 5 weeks ago:
Why use wire for sustained large loads, it’s a power bar with a fuse. Solder joints don’t arc or get loose.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek’ at 60: ‘Strange New Worlds’ Co-Creator Akiva Goldsman on Why It Keeps Boldly Going 5 weeks ago:
Because no one is watching this shit.
- Comment on An interesting issue 5 weeks ago:
Filament drying is YouTube delusion.
Cue “hydroscopic, meaning plastic absorbs water”.
- Comment on Solid-state battery hits 381 Wh/kg as Taiwan mass production begins 1 month ago:
Of course it is. It’s not rare and can be recycled.
- Comment on Solid-state battery hits 381 Wh/kg as Taiwan mass production begins 1 month ago:
260 Wh/kg in a good modern battery.
- Comment on What the humidity level in your area? 1 month ago:
Thomas Sanladerer soaked rolls in a bucket of water to prove a point.
- Comment on What the humidity level in your area? 1 month ago:
People who obsess about filament because of YouTube drying end up driving off volatile plasticizers and ending up with brittle filament that ruins a roll.
Like every fucking YouTube video has to explain what hydroscopic means like we’re in grade 7 science class.
