If we can’t find the cosmic frame of reference, then how do we know it even exists? Sure, you can assume it exists, and call that a hypothesis. If only someone had a way to test that hypothesis.

TL:DR The batteries are based on Iron oxide chemistry. Form Energy is building a factory that is supposed to make the batteries for many grid energy storage facilities, such as the one mentioned in the headline.
Anyway, this sort of development sounds great. This is exactly the kind of thing we need if we are to switch to renewable energy. Li-ion batteries should be reserved for mobile applications, such as cars, laptops, phones and earbuds. There are lots of other battery chemistries available, that have a lower energy density, but they have other advantages to compensate. Those chemistries are much better suited for industrial scale applications like this.
Good point. Sounds like it would be a good idea to replace the RNG chip with a weather station. This way, sunshine, wind, rain, temperature and other conditions control the frequency of the motor. Anyone who can predict that deserves a Nobel Price.
Add a long pipe labyrinth so narrow it will cause turbulence and loose an unpredictable amount of energy that way. The mathematician who can predict how that mess works out gets a noble prize and a pack of drill bits.
If you find out that your current ram is obsolete, you probably have lots of other ancient stuff in your computer too. By the time your ram is too slow or there isn’t enough of it, your CPU is going to be abysmally slow by modern standards. Even if your mobo is still fine at that point, it won’t support any of the upgrades you have in mind, so you’ll end up changing everything anyway.
It’s a fantasy unit you can use when writing a story about dragons and wizards. Sort of like this:
In the harmonious town of Metricville, life was a symphony of simplicity and precision. Every measurement, from the smallest millimeter to the grandest kilometer, was a multiple of 1000. This elegant system made calculations a breeze, fostering advancements in science and technology. The townspeople thrived, their lives intertwined with the beauty of sensible units.
However, in the shadowy town of Chaosburg, an evil necromancer named Malgath seethed with envy. He despised Metricville's success and the clarity their units brought. Driven by hatred, Malgath devised a sinister plan to plunge Metricville into confusion.
One stormy night, Malgath cast a Foul Spell of Demonic Confusion over Metricville. The once orderly units twisted and warped into a chaotic mess. Millimeters became inches, meters turned into feet, and liters morphed into gallons. The multiples between units were no longer a neat 1000 but a bewildering array of 12, 14, 21, or anything Malgath desired.
The townspeople awoke to a nightmare. Simple tasks became arduous challenges. Architects struggled to design buildings, scientists found their experiments in disarray, and even cooking a meal became a perplexing ordeal. The once thriving town was now mired in confusion and frustration.
Build a bund wall, and throw a pump in there as well. Then, just pump the liquid back into the tank to keep it full at all times. In order to deter mathematically inclined terrorists, use a variable frequency drive and make that frequency change every second. The problem becomes unsolvable.
There are other options too. You could fill the tank with tar, any really thick slurry, molten sodium, hydrogen sulfide, 2-mercaptoethanol, propane just to name a few. Drill into a tank like that and you’ll regret that decision instantly.
Can confirm. If you wish to listen to something while in the train/subway or in some other noisy environments, such as a bus stop right next to a busy road, ANC really helps a lot. Obviously, it’s no replacement for proper hearing protection, but instead of cranking up the volume through the roof, you can listen to things at a very reasonable volume despite the noisy environment.
You know, in some countries boyfriends hold hands in the public.
Man, that is just such a cool little easter egg. Totally love it!
Yes. Bean is completely dead 💀, buried and forgotten. RIP 🪦
I’ve already installed Mlem and Voyager to replace Bean.
There are batteries designed to handle cold climates. If you buy a car from a warmer climate and intend to use it in a cold climate, you really should check which kind of battery it came with. It’s probably a summer battery.
