Tubeless can be a pain but it is exceedingly good at dealing with the small annoying punctures. Pretty typical to not notice a puncture at all before it seals. Caveats: for some reason pinch flats in the sidewall seal poorly, and the sealan

I have done a 3000 mile tour (Great Divide). The scariest parts were a highway section in southern colorado, and after I finished and was just biking around in El Paso, both because of cars. It wasn't the bears or lightning or anything

IMO: The US suffers from the notion of exceptionalism spawned from its position of massive advantage after WWII, as well as a deep seated aversion to mass transit that was borne out of the backlash against desegregation. I'm probably m

Infrastructure can also drive development in places that it reaches. If you work in SF but fancy living in Hollister, and the train only takes 30 minutes to get there, why not?

They do retain their power because of the notoriety of the stories they head. It's a matter of taste and thus hard to argue, but I do think his titles were kind of clunky. Can you imagine if Blade Runner retained the title of the work

I get the sense that the team represented here are going it alone e.g. there aren't amateur rocketry organizations around that they can work with and gain knowledge and working practices from. Maybe someone on here who is in amateur ro

Bit of a tangent but occasionally I wonder how close we are to people disappearing into cyberspace for 10 hours at a time and thus using a Texas catheter à la Neuromancer . It seems like there are a notable minority of tech people who re

Thanks for this detailed comment. I don't have your expertise but I have noticed that there is some inverse correlation between "unique visual spectacle" and good storytelling. E.g. Avatar II, which was visually quite strikin

Fuel reduction for wildfire mitigation, if that's what you are referring to, doesn't focus on mature trees, which are pretty important for the long term health of forests. This doesn't so much address the health of forest eco

Fun read, it reminds me a bit of Neuromancer x Universal Paperclips.

You're 24? Don't take this the wrong way but you have loads of time to do "youth shit." As you get older, people expect you to be more competent in life and work. If you leave work for two years to bike around the world,

A lot of what Americans eat is kinda grim? I couldn't eat the sausage at the hotel breakfast in Little Rock this morning because it tasted like new vinyl smells. Wrt Bangladesh... I imagine the job might be a little harder during Ramad

Typically I would dismiss this as a bit overwrought but I came back from overseas last week and promptly was forced to drive in Boston, an activity that both takes place in the heart of US puritanism and perfectly encapsulates something tha

I used to get them occasionally. A few years back I started doing loads of cardio exercise and I noticed a while back that I hadn't had the flutter for a long time. I always wondered if it was due to increased cardiac fitness.

Went and found the LTT video. It's unclear what he did there. He said there was a spark, and then he ran outside with his pack. Spot welding the cells isn't usually that fraught. Yeah burying a thing in sand is legit. Depending on

For most things cylindrical cells are the right answer. They don't puff up, they're available with protection circuits, they're cheap and highly available, you can get them in a variety of sizes and capacities, even in differ

There's some optimization that happens in the chemistry and construction details for specific uses. Also with bigger packs inter-cell consistency is really important (good cell integrators will test and bin them by ESR even if they&#x2

I can't see what the construction looks like but the mention of 'fire arrestors' gives me a lot of hope. If you haven't designed a battery that can take a cell runaway safely, you haven't done the work, and clearly

I'm sorry but you're dead wrong about the BMS. BMS doesn't address any of the things I listed. You're also wrong about standardization - standarization at the cell form factor level is correct. Different applications hav

When battery packs that have a non-zero chance of literally killing your users are commonplace, it actually does make sense to vendor-lock the battery. Believe it or not there is actual engineering that goes into making batteries beyond spo

There's a lot that goes into manufacturing battery packs beyond the cells. How's your thermal path to ambient in your home wall battery? How is the inter-cell thermal isolation? Is there a path for gas discharge in the event of a

I wonder if there's a confounding factor here, because that's precisely where I tend to notice it the most. The anticaking agent lends a grainyness to an otherwise smooth foodstuff. Are you thinking more of a cheese sauce, or chee

This, I think, is a case of Different Thing Same Name. The same way that coffee runs the gamut between the gnarliest of instant coffees to 3rd wave single-origin craft brews. Almost every step of the production chain is different, and while
