Probably not for a battery.  You would want to keep the entire thing at some type of steady state and remain predictable.  I’m not familiar with the nuclear reactor systems, but those are most likely similar to the solar systems that heat molten salts.  Those salts are nitrate salts, similar to metal quenching, sodium…

It’s not an investment. It’s gambling. Gambling is a form of entertainment.

When the jackpot gets big enough to be in the news, I buy tickets. For me, it’s worth a few bucks to have the chance to win, and to dream about what you’d do with the winnings.  Dreaming about $1000 isn’t worth a dollar to me.  I don’t dream…

Sure, but what’s the alternative, setting up that warehouse in an area with a larger population and actually paying people a decent salary?

I know you weren’t attacking the riders, I was just busting your balls a bit.

Hard disagree on the element. It may be ugly but holy god was it functional. Its the peak embodiment of function over form and that needs to be celebrated. All of this and my second QOTD submission about the 2014-2018 dual-screen Acura interiors got ignored.

If you’re income level doesn’t get you to $7500 in federal taxes, you shouldn’t be buying a $50,000 new car. 

I thought it was bald eagles per school shooting?

I get the logic behind it, but this case is the one you always worry about. 

It was brilliant!

What? It clearly shows ICE vehicles having 60.916 times as many fires as BEVs per 100,000 sold? The f did you get 15x battery fires?

These videos are more obnoxious than the slideshows they tried to force on us. Just give this old man a text article. I won’t watch videos or a slideshow I can’t scroll through.

Miles per kWh is such a foreign concept to me. I mean, I understand it, but it’s used so rarely in the non-EV-fan world that I have zero reference for what is good or bad.

Go, go Power Rangers!

lol, i see no lie. 

For me, the puzzles are a supervised experience. the fury only lasts a few minutes, so I pick them up (small pieces included) right after use. I don’t leave the puzzles around like chew toys and squeaky stuff. I would imagine if left on their own, most dogs would continue chew the small parts in hopes of finding more…

Totally, but that’s where canning and refrigeration come in. One of the design ideas I’m kicking around in my head for our retirement home is an updated take on the old-fashioned “root-cellar” instead of a second refrigerator or pantry. That’s years down the road though.

As for the soil, a basic worm composting bin…

When it comes to AWD, EVs and ICE-Vs share pretty much nothing mechanical in common. The magic to AWD in a car with 1 motor is the center differential which determines where to send power and how much. In an EV, this is done by having multiple motors. You could argue that Subaru will put more thought into the exact…

Grab one of those mini jump box thingies. I keep one in my I95 survival kit in the back of the car. Not only does it pull duty for jumping cars but it charges the phone as well. Small enough to fit in a console or glove box to boot.

That’s a high performance cooling mod, brah

Autopilot is OK, but FSD is a pipe dream with their current technology. While I would play with FSD occasionally, I’d *never* trust my life to a faulty system like that on a daily commute.
