Sodium-ion batteries are not hype though, they are in production use in multiple industries already. They are generally superior to Lithium based batteries in all regards, with the exception of having a bit lower energy density. An equivalent LiFePO4 battery might be 70-80% of the size for the same storage. It’s not a big deal for large applications like cars and solar storage.

TLDR = money matters more than morals and safety to them

The voltage being sent down would have to be really high to avoid loss going through such a long and probably thin cable. Like the difference in voltage loss going through a 100’ romex cable of 10-gauge wire with 12v DC vs 120v AC - you just can’t do it with 12v DC because the loss is far too high, but it’s no problem with 120v AC.

Magnify those losses times 500 for your 5000’ cable… maybe you need a 5000v line… then you have a dangerous high-voltage line flying around in the air. High-voltage transmission lines can arc to ground if they find a path, even though they’re insulated wires.

But I guess those guys probably know about that stuff too.

It’s not that hard to comprehend both measurement systems. Both are valid and it’s up to the author to choose how they want to express their figures. You can send them a complaint if you want, but complaining about their measurements here isn’t going to change anything.

Yep they should have. At least they did some things, more than prior or subsequent administrations have.

I certainly didn’t say any of those things. Perhaps you could read what I already wrote, again.

I hear tell them cameras is full of valuable minerals like gold and copper!

That’s fake news. The fact is that Epstein was dead, and they prosecuted and sentenced Maxwell during the Biden term. They also investigated Epstein’s financial ties, uncovering $billions in wire transfers to Epstein from people like Les Wexner, during the Biden administration - look up Ron Wyden’s investigation, which was suddenly denied access to those records in January 2025.

Dogs and cats also are great for helping you notice things, you can watch them and see what their super hearing directs their attention to. That’s why hunters sometimes use pointer dogs and stuff.

Well that’s a little bit of progress

Potatoes are just overgrown beans. They grew so big they lost most of that healthy bean fiber.

Well on average, people are dumb, and the average goober probably doesn’t know how to properly manage the use of a PHEV to get good mileage. It’s a learning process, and the cars should come with instructions about it taped to the dashboard so that goobers will notice.

Basically you need a charger at home, and you use the EV mode for city driving, and the gas engine for highway trips. You can get more complicated to max your efficiency but the basics are simple enough for the average goober to learn. When I got one, the dealer knew a lot less about the vehicle than I did. They didn’t tell me how to do anything.

That’s nice, mine can as well. If you can also connect a mouse and keyboard, then you’d have something to game on I guess. Touchscreens are no good for gaming to me, my thumbs are wide and not precise enough on a touchscreen. So if I have room for a monitor, I’ll just plug a computer into it.

But I don’t want to play any game like that on a little phone screen. Do people not understand that bigger screens are better?

We got along just fine before DHS ever existed so we don’t need them anyway.
