Isn't protection against dendritic failure (or formation of dendrites) a major sell of solid state batteries?

Iranians are protesting because their economy is collapsing from targeted attacks by the US/West. Foreign media records them and says they are trying to depose the theocracy, propaganda to justify a military incursion. Wild claims of c

The idea that Iranians are marching in the streets begging for a monarchy is so absurd only the dumbest will believe it. And specifically they are "dying" to bring back the clown prince, son of a foreign puppet that was deposed by

You are correct in that part of the reason they are hired is because they are ostensibly indentured servants. They cannot quit because without another job lined up they have to leave the country. But I don't think we should be correcti

Well it kind of is. Tesla are not coy about their plans of moving away from selling consumers personal vehicles. If you think cybercab can eat any significant percentage of Uber/Lyfts lunch there is value. It takes a lot of hubris to t

I bought a refurb gen 4 thinkpad on amazon for like $350 and it arrived almost brand new. Installed arch, setup some commands to underclock the processor on login and easily boost it when I'm compiling. Battery life is great but I&#x27

You cannot take someone seriously when they hold conflicting thoughts. Doublethink and doublespeak are signs of disingenuous sociopathy.

I suspect two things, low-calorie diets consisting predominantly of fresh foods and vegetables. And active lifestyle. It is unreal how much a good diet and walking everyday will change your entire life.

I don't know you or give a shit about you. You need to be a man and be accountable for your own life. Why are you expecting others to subsidize your mistakes? You are weak and your life is the outcome of your own actions. You should ha

How much do you pay as a percentage of your salary in taxes? In total of course. I pay 30% in taxes for federal and state. House is paid off but taxes is about 3% my salary. My insurance is more than I need (I don't use it at all) and

AI is barely a blip on why the job market is dead for entry level, and dying all the way up the ladder. Every one of my engineer friends says the same thing. "My team is 80% indians" and more than half are not qualified for the jo

This is even less than statistically insignificant. Every single person that doesn't return their cart does so out of laziness. Besides just being an asshole, the cart will take a potential parking spot that someone else later needs to

The government should not be bearing that cost. It is idiotic to ever put the state in charge of people's health.

The addition of flouride to tap water supply likely affects brain development. Let's not go adding lithium too. These things are simple enough to advise the populace to use on their own. The government should never play nanny, ever.

There are far more than 500 people working in Starbase. Most of them do not live there so it's kind of pointless to mention that.

It is the duty of Americans to vote for good congressmen to represent the whole Republic. We need to hold them accountable. Failing to do that relinquishes our right to complain about the things they are doing. Everything else you are sayin

If congressmen never voted on double edged swords or poison pill legislation out of principle, they'd all be labeled do-nothing grandstanders like Thomas Massie. While it may work for Massie, as his constituents are smart enough to kno

Optical media is unmatched for archival purposes. I have photos, videos, and documents I'd be devastated to lose. I simply cannot trust magnetic or solid-state storage over the long term. Luckily blurays are still somewhat cheap in Jap

There are drugs like metformin which appear to have a drastic affect on lifespan in patients with or without diabetes. But yes generally, premature death seems to come from bad lifestyle choices over a lifetime, so being proactive is gonn

Very grateful to have had good self-learning, education, then mentoring before LLM's existed. And although they are such a boon to productivity I worry what they will do to my ability to think on my own long term. Like reaching for you

This post was more about some midwit trying to coin a phrase than a breakdown of future design patterns one could entertain. Clout chasing nonsense.

Do EU nations consider themselves sovereign or not? Cause it seems like if the EU can punish them for exercising sovereignty, they are beholden to the whims of outsiders.
