While they are a competitor to Tesla’s powerwall/megapack business, the folks over at Eos Energy Storage are building large zinc based batteries that while less energy dense than lithium batteries are non-flammable and cheaper to make. Their Power Cube is a large stackable battery and management system built into a…

Never saw the movie but I enjoyed the book. Of course I read that probably 25 years ago.

So let me get this straight, News organizations get gov’t to force Facebook to pay for shared content. Facebook decides it doesn’t want to pay and stops allowing the sharing of news content. News organizations now want to investigate FB for not sharing content.

Wait, Kylie arrived in a Mercedes and left in a Cadillac? It means she must have went home at some point or had a minion swap cars. 

One thing that annoys me is the negativity in some of the writing. A section called ‘Our Garbage Infrastructure’. Yes, there are problems that need to be overcome but that doesn’t mean we have to be negative about it. As Roosevelt said “Complaining about a problem without proposing a solution is called whining”. 

I read those for the first time in high school (over 20 years now, holy crap) and have read them a few more times since then. I think Simmons did a very good job with world building. It was a fun read.

I thought The Fall of Hyperion was the weaker link in that series. Shit did get really weird in Endymion and Rise of Endyion though.

Huh, looks like they named a motorcycle park after me. I’ve never been to SF but I guess the folks in charge just wanted to recognize what a good dude I am. I will gladly accept that recognition. Next time you’re out there, tell them I said hi.

Agreed. Keep the damn units the same. It is like saying “If I take the freeway to Jeff’s house it is 10 miles, but going backroads it is 120 furlongs.”

while maintaining the best features customers want.

What if we decriminalize stealing from robots. Then no crimes will be committed and government statics can show a reduction in crime and lawmakers can reward themselves with a raise.

Oh my!

Maybe she accidently got her boobs done by a butt surgeon? And then went and got her butt done by a boob surgeon. Classic mixup. We can confirm by checking for nipples on her asscheeks.

Did she end up buying the boat? 

Ooooh. That is evil genius level plotting there.

And when you drive, each additional person reduces the cost per head for the trip. When flying, each additional person increases total cost.

True but that doesn’t change the status of property bought before the ban.

Not sure what’s up with the red lines around her eyes. I thought the line was a cut a first. Is this some new trend that my old ass self was unaware of?

Obviously, Cox’s greatest role ever was on Super Troopers.
