Ken Griffey Jr is something like the 3rd highest paid player on the Reds roster this year. He hasn’t played for them since 2008 and in 2016 went into the hall of fame as a Mariner, but the Reds owe him deferred salary through 2025.

CCS or J-1772? 100 DC fast charging plugs would be a lot, I'm guessing most of these 100 are actually J-1772 L2 AC plugs and not CCS combo 1. It's pretty cheap to get an adaptor for J-1772 <--> Tesla in either direction for

3-phase is not really for consumers. It’s for commercial and fleet operations where a 3-phase AC charging setup can deliver far more power with much lower amperage circuits. When installing chargers for an entire 15+ storey apartment buildi

Type 2 supports 3-phase AC, something both CCS combo 1 and NACS don’t. That alone would make a transition in Europe a terrible idea, especially since the Tesla connector doesn’t even seem to have a path to 3-phase support. Yes, Type 2 Combo

Modern mass timber has advanced a long way beyond cheap particle board. Read up on cross laminated timber. Manufactured and cut exactly to size and often requires no cutting on site.

Even a single house worth of ground works is 30-60 days pretty easily.

Laminated strand is certainly under the heading of mass timber, but I’m referring more to cross laminated timber (CLT). It still uses resin, but with much more wood it doesn’t suffer from the sort of rot and de-laminating problems OSB has,

Here in Canada it’s extremely common for ground works for a new subdivision to take over a year. Individual houses can be done in a much shorter time, but digging a basement, setting all the forms, pouring the concrete, waterproofing the wa

Modern mass timber more than corrects that problem. It does a fantastic job using fast growing, new growth lumber to produce highly precise parts that are factory produced exactly to spec to nearly eliminate waste.

Absolutely true, but you still need a plan for protecting the water lines. You need some kind of underground insulated structure below the frost line that can handle direct dirt contact. Annoyingly concrete remains the best option.

I live in a ballon-framed house built in 1926. Coming up on 100 years and with reasonable maintenance there is no reason it won't last another 100. There are some terribly built wooden houses that will just rot away, but it's not

For regions that don't have to worry about a frost line helical screw piles and mass timber are game-changing building capabilities to construct concrete free. It's even possible to build carbon negative thanks to the timber locke

CCS is the big DC pins at the bottom. Ford and GM home charging happens via J-1772, the smaller AC pins. Tesla re-uses pins for both AC and DC which is a big part of why their handles are so much smaller than CCS Combo 1. There are plenty o
