You are a billionaire you can custom design a new car with no spyware using reliable parts from other large brands

So why not keep time as a constant and if individual places want to change times they can do that

Even just single states can have vastly different sunrise and sunset times and changing 300m people’s schedules so that a few people can have a few extra minutes of sun in the morning for part of the year seems absolutely ridiculous

A local school district could very easily do a 1 hour shift as the sunrise gets later so that it properly aligns with their local school pickup times

It’s not a joke if you hit boron with a neutron it releases the energy in the form of an alpha particle which is just a helium atom.

So take some boron-10 put it in a neutron flux and you get helium. This is being done in nearly every nuclear power plant in the world every second

Helium may not be renewable but we can manufacture it from things like boron

Well you see three is the phrase pussy cat and there is this thing called a bussy and if you put them together you get a bussycat

R134 was the “safe” refrigerant to replace R-12 because R12 is 11000x more potent of a ghg than co2

There are some new refrigeration units that use R600 but the vast majority of refrigerators are still R134

R600 being a highly flammable gas (it’s butane) has slowed its rollout a lot. Hence why a solid state non volatile refrigerant is still a cool development

Old school refrigerants were absolutely horrendous ghg even modern ones are pretty bad with R134 being 1430x worse of a ghg than CO2

If we can reduce that, that’s good! And metals like titanium are recyclable so yes initially extracting them is bad but the full lifecycle isn’t as terrible

In capitalism as a whole economic mobility is not very prevalent. If you are born poor you generally have a worse education, worse nutrition, worse job prospects, etc

If you are born rich it is orders of magnitude easier to end up in a high paying career since you have a financial support system

The idea here would be to make sure everyone is given the same tools to succeed and the same options. For example anyone who can pass their could go to med school vs only people who can afford to go without a livable income for 13 years while working 60-100 hours weeks

Then you reward people who choose to do things others don’t want to do which is the compromise

You can have that as home as well where the person who cleans the bathroom gets an extra cookie after dinner

This is in huge contrast to capitalism where the owner of the house gets the entire box of cookies and is benevolent enough to spare a pittance of food in exchange for the bathroom being cleaned

Everyone would have their basic needs met, and nobody would have 10,000x what other people have

They are claiming a weight of 400Wh/kg so the extra weight should be at least another 70lbs if it didn’t require any extra bracing which it probably does that while it may not be a lot for a 3000lb car it is sizeable for a 400lb bike

it’s a lot worse than other EV makers misleading claims, because 12mph is literally a joke of a speed to test at considering that’s slower than a cyclist on a non motorized bike and it is not even considering a fast speed to run at.

A still misleading but at least defendable claim would be if they did one at 25mph and called that their city range but 12mph is just an insulting claim

Adding the extra weight of the battery will reduce the range but more importantly going 12mph is not a way of rating a street legal vehicle… it’s like bragging about a laptop having a 30 day battery life when it’s in standby. Drag is a function of velocity squared which means that going at even 45mph you are experiencing 14x the drag and at 60mph it’s 25x the drag

Catcher in the rye was a forced book for me and I didnt like it because I thought Holden was insufferable lol. Why do you think it’s a good book to read?
