I’m pretty sure you get more than 20 pages out of an ink cartridge.

But the electric company already charges us for that “stress” not the government. The tax should be covering the road wear and tear, it shouldn’t be needed for the electrical grid, which is mostly private anyways.

Why do we care about how long an electric car has been “idling?”

Most apps mirror it for your own view, but show the original orientation to everyone else.

Membranes don’t handle cryogenic temperatures, and a piston adds quite a bit of mass, and doesn’t handle deformations from a cylinder very well. (The header tank is currently spherical.)

And Japan has nearly no native source of steel to make so many extra containers.

I counted 30+ ships the other day just sitting outside the harbor in Port of L.A. waiting their turn to unload. That’s far from normal. And since they are anchored in deep water with no shore connection, they are running generators to keep the lights on.

This is a Wendy’s, sir.

Ullage is the empty space in the tank. Ullage collapse is when the empty space is not at the top of the tank, but mixed in with the liquid.

The tower catch is for the SH (a.k.a. booster) not for the SS (Starship) since that still needs the Mars landing capability.

I think having separate Mars landing vehicles and Earth landing vehicles will be a problem of delta-V, because Musk expects to have atmospheric reentry to slow down at each end of the trip. That can’t happen if you need a different vehicle to land on Earth after you leave Mars.

Facts? Sources? What are those?

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find mention of the Scratchy scene. It was talked about several days ago, and they were working on FX for the scene just two weeks before release, but could not finish it. It was intended as a big scene for several of the side characters, including Monica, that would be…

I don’t see this as a primary display for smart glasses. BUT I could see this used behind the OLED display for smart glasses, to make part of the view opaque so you can see the AR visual. Then the refresh rate matters less, and it doesn’t have to be as high resolution. Combine the strengths of the two technologies.

I think that value is if it was an average meteorite, which might not apply for the carbonaceous kind.

There was even a James Bond movie about that.

That same “primary identity” thing is also why email is targeted so much. So it’s not email security we are bad at, it’s just security in general.

4G was a big battery drain when it came out too. In fact much bigger than the current gen of 5G phones. I’m pretty sure the phone companies plan is not “do nothing.” New phones will come out this year and next that can do 5G with less battery usage. This is a tech world, chips improve over time.

Thanks for the context, that does help explain your position. I’m sure there will eventually be people who take apart battery packs to replace individual cells, especially as more EV cars start going beyond the factory warranty. (There are already some third parties that specialize in rebuilt battery packs.)

Removable connections between multiple modules are less reliable than a fixed internal connection in the module. Adding enough insulation to make each separate module safe to handle would also add extra bulk to the battery when they are already trying to fit as much capacity as they can into tight spaces. Airflow and…
