Also a common filler for epoxy. When I sanded boat fillets I'd get the smell of baby powder.

We need laws for all road-going vehicles to protect pedestrians and strict liability for anyone driving a pedestrian-hostile vehicle. You want a drive a big lifted truck? You need to be on the hook for the deaths and damages from those mons

You think outsourced point-and-click administrators of company on-prem servers could do better?

"sanctioned and by design" So is "qualified immunity". Yet it's still unjust.

Do you think scooter riders would even be on the sidewalk dodging trees and pedestrians if they could using the road safely?

Measure the width from one building, across the street, to the other. The vast majority of the space is taken up by land reserved for cars. Scooters are not the problem. The fact that cars are allowed sole domain of the vast majority of pub

No heating loads, it's a natural gas furnace. Loads are just lights, furnace blower, and other ancillary loads. It's not exactly the same as just adding battery backup, because the marginal cost of adding battery backup to a solar

by coryrc 3y ago
The point of adding solar is you don't need a battery sized for multiple day outages, just enough to get you through the night. And instead of a generator which you need to spend money to maintain every year and otherwise just deprecia

My FIL had a 10kw natural gas generator installed, which is negative ROI. He could have gotten solar with battery backup for a positive ROI.

These things aren't permanently installed, so the sections you cite don't apply.

The problem is the government doesn't know what to ask for.

Design-Build contracts. As stupid as the downtown Seattle highway 99 tunnel was [0], apparently we got away without paying the overages. 0: two lanes of traffic each way and an 8-lane stroad for >$2B instead of fixing the 3-lanes-each-wa

It's stupid to recycle when we can reuse first. There are nearly zero production EV batteries which are unsuitable for reuse for stationary applications. Even if the quantity is too low for mass commercial scale (first gen Leaf) they&#

The difference is you could move electricity from the sunny side of the planet to the dark efficiently and from Northern to Southern hemisphere, which would enable you to use cheap solar power for all electricity needs in summer and winter,

Not so concise, but I've done this (kinda). I did give a presentation to the class later in the semester about a practical implementation of things they worked on all semester though.

Yes, except for items and doing better in the pack.

Pretty neat! As a fellow motor controller designer, I worry you're wasting time reinventing the wheel in that regard, but I really like your project, I also want a farming robot.

You're probably being silly, but for anyone else, gas turbines as used for generators don't have jet exhausts on them, i.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR5oVn-Fvvg

by coryrc 3y ago
Then you may as well use a gas turbine, which is pretty much better in every way that matters for generating purposes.

"Restorative Justice" is more bullying from authorities and taking time from the victim. From your link: "Victims may help decide on the punishment for the person who harm them. They often get answers and an apology. Offender

We spend far, far more on a single invalid dementia patient in a nursing home than on a poor family with young kids. And not nearly enough on preventing young single people from becoming poor single mothers.

Well, different climates have different building requirements and materials. Plus, a cathedral isn't meant for living in. I think you'd find that feeling walking the old market streets, covered by cloths to block most of the sun,

It's a staple of coastal people's diets the world over. There's half an aisle of it at the local Seattle-area groceries. Also, I don't think algae and seaweed is the same thing?

2% seaweed in diet eliminates methane. Stupid it's not mandatory already.

I think you misinterpreted. Parent poster probably was thinking "fewer subscribers per Earth sq km", but mostly it turns out to be "more satellites per sq km".

All I'm addressing is GP's comment: It's a file with zero complete lines. But it has 1 line, that's incomplete, right? Because the Unix definition of text file requires the file to end with a newline. "Line
