I’d say eliminating the AvGas is more important. Plus, a big efficiency jump in absolute terms vs. rotorcraft. There are certainly advantages to the eVTOL but I agree that it’s a pretty limited market. Although, there are inexpensive helico

It’s probably still relatively brittle at room temperature.

In this context, ceramic just means non-metal and non-organic. Plenty of ceramics have decent thermal conductivity - in fact, diamonds are ceramics and they are some of the most thermally conductive things ever. However, ceramics are very m

As I understand it this technology would work for many diesel vehicles.

That is a joke website. Air pollution actually kills people.

No, this is significant because it’s a man made canal, as opposed to the natural waterways used for trade that we already knew about. It is far longer than the other Native American canal we know of and likely had damns to control the flow

Well you don’t just send a canoe for the heck of it. You put the goods, wood, or stone into the canoe.

What the heck do you even mean? What even is a water-caused death? I suppose humidity/heat related deaths might count, although those are tens or maybe hundreds of thousands and hydrogen combustion would have a negligible contribution

No, but they do require a lot of nasty metals to make, whereas hydrogen combustion can be done with more commonplace materials.

According to Dr. Jack Lewnard at ARPA-E, electricity costs about $100 to $250/MW-hr to deliver when amortizing the costs of the expanded grid infrastructure needed for electrification. The costs of expanding the gas grid for hydrogen (

Air pollution is estimated to contribute to 7 million premature deaths each year ( https://www.who.int/health-topics/air-pollution#tab=tab_2 ). That's about one in ten deaths where air pollution was a factor (obviou

Capitalism seems to have no trouble selling you those diesel cars. It's dealing with the consequences of their emissions or ensuring that they have a long term fuel supply that is the problem.

But you don't know his life. Why judge from afar? I'm not saying it's normal or recommendable for the average person. I'm just saying, we don't know.

Who are we to say how much is the right amount for this person? To play 6,000 hours of this game he must have a reason. Perhaps he's particularly passionate about it, perhaps there is someone in his life he loves to play it with.

Prediction: This is going to reduce the cost of producing non-stylized animated motions and lead to a lot of movies that look something like Polar Express.

You can see in the other Tweets posted by that account that he acknowledges that he knows Twitter has fake users prior to making a private offer. Although the fake users thing was never and is not a valid legal reason to void the contract.

Right - Visa, Mastercard, Apple, and Google are walled gardens and should, in my personal opinion, be held to a somewhat higher standard in terms of free speech (Yes, I know that the first amendment doesn't apply to companies. I'm

There's some dignity in doing something that has a point . Doesn't negate the need for better, safer working conditions and good pay but there's a big psychological difference between digging coal (which you know will go on

In this case, "preferential treatment" means affirmative action, something that is done everywhere else in America. No one was proposing quotas or something like that, which are federally illegal.

Home Depot's private label brand (Everbilt) are absolutely graded. An SAE grade 1 or 2 is unmarked but if you look at their metric bolts you'll see the 8.8 grade mark.

by elil17 4y ago
Yeah, it is. I wouldn’t worry about low grade bolts from unknown sources, really, unless it’s a safety critical application. The cost benefit to the manufacturer for cheaping out is almost nothing. To make it look like a bolt you’re going t
