Agreed 100%. Fully remote can be just as (or more) productive as onsite, but the processes need to be created specifically around fully remote work. Very few companies are doing that. They're giving remote work the old college try,

General FYI: Ikea furniture (like all particle board furniture) will be much more durable if you add a line of wood glue to the edges when building. It's a simple step that only takes a few extra minutes during construction, but the

This is exactly what will happen. Even if Trump doesn't run independent, a large portion of his cultists won't vote for DeSantis because they will feel betrayed by the GOP. https://twitter.com/LindseyGrahamSC&#x2F

Many people have discussed this. You can simply google and read to realize that your concerns are unfounded.

Hydrogen will be produced when electricity exceeds supply, but it will be used to decarbonize existing H2 demand, which is massive. As for smoothing out the electricity supply, EVs themselves are likely to play a large role, as will home ba

Worldwide, about 50,000 FCEVs have been sold, vs about 7 million BEVs. Comparing the safety of the two on an absolute basis isn't just dumb, it's intentionally misleading. Pretty sure at this point you're a paid propagandist

Long-haul trucking is the one possible on-road application for fuel cell tech. But with the rate at which battery tech is advancing, and the massive head start that existing recharging infrastructure (the grid already exists) has over hy

98% of H2 is made from fossil fuels because cracking water is very expensive. H2 is already expensive when reformed from natural gas - you can expect to pay 20-30 cents per mile to travel in the most advanced, fuel efficient H2 vehicle

>And what is hydrogen but fuel made from water? 98% of H2 is made from fossil fuels. You know why, right?

If you have to resort to semantics in an argument to make your point, you've already lost.

Nothing I've said is bullshit, let alone the post in totality. Feel free to point out a specific claim I've made that you believe is bullshit, and we'll proceed from there.

Why is it so easy to spot the right winger these days? Oh that's right, it's because you all parrot the same nonsense. The valuable materials in EV batteries don't get used up - they're still in the battery, and can be r

Agreed. I think Toyota embraced H2 not because they wanted to replace a complex ICE with a complex PEMFC, but because a) Japan has no oil or mineral reserves to speak of, and b) when they started down that path, battery tech was woefully i

Nah. I worked as a project engineer in a hydrogen fuel cell test lab for a few years. H2 is EXTREMELY hazardous. It can be ignited by a miniscule amount of energy (i.e. a tiny static spark will do it), and it has a very fast flame front,

The purpose of an economy isn't to create jobs, it's to create wealth. Jobs are just how we've traditionally incentivized wealth creation and distributed said wealth. Automation will be good for humanity in the long run, as

Same. 2008 was a potential world destroyer. This is small peanuts by comparison.

This sounds great. Would you mind sharing the company name? Perhaps in a DM if not here?
