That’s a good point; it becomes less economical if you need multiple of these cells just to counteract the self-discharge. Even so, it’s really just a demo of the technology; they do mention they expect to have a 1 watt model later this year.
Almost nothing… Maybe some very basic scientific equipment, but they do note that they’d be able to use multiple batteries layered to produce higher output, and that they’re expecting to have a 1 watt version later this year; that’d be far more useful in practice.
This is wild; the battery would outlive the electronics it’s powering in almost all cases.
The output is incredibly tiny, but I wonder if it could be used to trickle-charge a higher-output battery for use in electronics that only need to be used infrequently for short durations.
The problem is, nobody in this administration gives two shits if they get ‘condemned’. It only matters if someone actually steps in and does something about it.
The agents that arrested her were masked and had no visible badges or identification. There’s nothing stopping any random group of people from doing that and claiming to be ICE agents… I’d like to think that if I saw something like that happening, I’d step in and try to physically stop them; in reality, though, it’s easy to sit in my house and think that, but I don’t know if I’d be able to do it in the moment. I think we’re well past the point of physically resisting this bullshit by force, though.
“thousands of hours of video.”

What the heck, did they just submit every piece of surveillance footage, every news article, every Reddit post talking about it, just every piece of media in the world that had the words ‘Luigi Mangione’ in it anywhere?
If you mean “enough copper to make a pickaxe and hammer”, panning is by far the most reliable method. If you mean “Enough copper to make everything I want to make with it”, are you using a prospecting pick? (If not, do so.)
Vintage Story is fantastic. It was described to me initially as ‘Minecraft for adults’ and it really lives up to that description. Also has a very vibrant modding community with a ton of well-maintained mods and installation is a single click on the official website. Highly recommend.
With Activision Blizzard, anyone can say “Yeah, fuck those guys!” then buy the latest game when it releases, and nobody is the wiser.
With Tesla, they’re getting vandalized on the streets. Insurance rates are hiking. It has social stigma attached. You can’t buy a Tesla and hide the fact that you have it. It comes with social backlash.
Even the folks who had no intention of buying one can contribute to that public sentiment, and as long as that social backlash remains, it’ll be effective at dissuading people from buying them.
Is he implying that he secretly hates Jews? Or placating to the haters in his voterbase that are anti-semitic?
I strongly suspect that it’s not because it was a genocide against jews, but rather that it was perpetrated by Nazis, and he doesn’t want to paint them in a bad light.
Nothing at all. DEI is just being used like a catch-all media buzzword to justify racism. To Trump, DEI means “Anything at all that I don’t like about anyone who isn’t a cis white male”.
If he resigned and divested, maybe. He won’t, but maybe.
Ooh, this is rad - thanks for the link!

Well, I didn’t know nor care about this book before, but now I want to read it.

The organ? Or did the church you visited have something else?
Somewhat different style, but there’s also Starsector!
Geez, I’d forgotten about that game. I spent an unreasonable amount of time playing those.
Not pay for their service. Pretty simple. If only there was a way to watch their shows without doing so.
That’s a fair point, but they could have been up front about it, or at least adjusted their advertising some. They basically told consumers “We’ll get you the best deal, and if we don’t find one, it doesn’t exist”, which is a spurious claim anyway, but it surely misled people. They could have just said “We’ll see if we have any coupon codes available” or something less committal. There still would have been a lot of value for regular consumers… if you weren’t using a coupon code, 5% off is better than nothing and if they weren’t being dicks about the referral links, nobody likely would have cared in the slightest.
Even if they do, unless Musk divests entirely, they can still get fucked. As long as hurting Tesla hurts Musk, they’re just a means to an end.
