I think the biggest advantage to such a reactor is that it solves two major issues in nuclear power. Containment costs and disposal costs. Containment is solved by the thousands of feet of rock and disposal is just filling in the hole with

"A Mile Underground" is way below most ground water deposits. Most wells are less than 1000 feet deep. The world's deepest aquifer is less than 2 miles deep. You would not bury a nuclear reactor in such a place. Also, nature

I guess the fastest stroke is the Fish Kick. Since you are kicking sideways and underwater, the pressure wave from your kick isn't being reflected from the surface or the bottom of the pool, allowing you to go way faster. It's bon

It replaces hydroxide ions between phosphates in the calcium hydroxyapatite crystal structure of the enamel. This reduces the loss of calcium due to the mild solubility of the mineral and neutralization reaction of the hydroxide with acids

West Virginia isn't too bad incest wise. About the same as California honestly. However they are in fact dirt poor. Poverty is the main indicator of "Low IQ." Along with race of course. IQ is kind of a shit measurement. http

It does happen, but usually it's not a problem if they don't do it too often. The amount of nitrogen in a single breath of air is pretty small and their time at depth is very short. Repeated dives can increase the amount of dissol

The only drown proofing I can think of is what the Navy Seals do in BUDs. They tie their hands behind their back and their legs together and then pop up for air when they need it. It's a lot harder for those guys because their body fat

That's just 17 yards. I've done that far on a single flip turn. Did you just spend like 70 seconds under there or something? Some lifeguards are a bit weird. I've always taken those "Don't hold your breath underwate

Plant based meat substitutes are a nice treat occasionally, but they are way too expensive to be an every day thing. Also, Impossible products make my guts rot. My favorite by far are the Beyond Chicken patties with Tikka Masala. I'm n

I wish there was some beacon or something I could wear while walking that would let cars see me and not hit me or at least slow down. There are just way too many drivers with their heads down looking at their phones. I see a ton of them jus

I've never understood the reasoning behind this carve out. Tips are supposed to be in addition to the worker's wage to show appreciation for good service. Not a replacement for their wages. This has made tipping from a nice thing

It blows my mind that Starlink is already profitable. I vaguely remember that it was thought that they wouldn't be able to make a profit on it without Starship. Falcon 9 is just such an excellent rocket. I guess it makes a lot of sense

I'm pretty sure that x86 could be more power efficient than it is now. But I have rarely run into an implementation of x86 that wasn't pretty dang power hungry. Probably for the explicit reason that it isn't a huge priority f

If you want to criticize x86 then you may want to support the assertion. Maybe something along the lines of bloated legacy features and horrible power requirements. However, in my opinion it's perfectly fine for a desktop computer. Jus

Trucks do the most damage per mile. But there are about 10 time as many cars on the road per truck. Also cars have gotten WAY heavier recently making road maintenance a nightmare. Also commercial trucks do pay more in taxes than cars.

Mostly because motorists are the ones that destroy the roads the most. In addition, the roads are rendered un-usable by pedestrians and other vehicles because they are filled with cars.

I would love to see a road use tax. Pretty much turn every road into a toll road then use the money to fund alternatives to driving. Cars are obscenely expensive compared to public transportation and micro-mobility. Stuff like bicycles, e-b

I think this is a great opportunity for Louisiana to socialize their power grid. The same thing happened in California. For profit energy providers raise rates when usage is high, and then raise rates when usage is low. The result is that p

I think the Hyundai Ioniq 5 uses an 800 volt battery. So you can get half a megawatt at 625 amps. Although most new fast chargers are about 350kw (Usually charging around 230kw on average) right now so you are only pulling about 435 amps.

by foxyv 2y ago
The thing that gets me most excited about these batteries is less that they can go further, but that you can cut your battery in half and have a viable electric car. If the cost is lower, even better. I'm looking forward to the day whe

I would probably tax the producers of foods with sugar in them. It would encourage reduction of sugar content in everything while increasing the price of purely sugar filled stuff like candy and ice cream. But you would probably be better o

Yet another reason why cars suck. They don't just kill children by running them over. You can have your baby next to you on the bus or train. On a bicycle it's immensely difficult to forget the kid in front of or behind you. Cars
