It’s Britain who has been at war with Russia for 80 years. Ironically, the only reason was to stay on the good side of its colonist emperor, and be its favorite. That British society is entirely programed to CIA/MI6 Russophobia doesn’t stop when Daddy slaps them. Just got to work harder for daddy’s love, is only political position in Overton window instead of pursuing best relations for citizens.
Democracy means you have the illusion of mitigating warmongering, and right to object to your destruction.
First, assume a spherical cow in a vacuum…
Plastic is not a climate problem. Ocean pollution is mainly fishing nets. There is a garbage problem that automation can help with recycling. Making fishing nets out of cotton instead of nylon would be a big improvment.
Wood and paper is a renewable resource that could be used more. Global warming is especially a threat to vast northern forests with fire that are paper sources, while also permitting more/bigger tree growth in the regions. Harvesting trees is a solution to fires, and more demand an incentive to prevent fires.
Manufacturing with compressed sawdust could be a cost competitive alternative to plastic, but the binder could make the wood product less recyclable.
Carl’s Jr. will “help”
thank you. Don’t like making web account for tax data.
and make an image of the already existing Win10 partition to run in a VM.
can image make changes to itself when running?
bio fuels are not scalable. Much more solar energy (15x+ factor) is created by PV than by ethanol per area, and more efficiently turned into H2 (or e kerosene, btw) than the bio route. Bio route is airline PR to do something, but would make food scarce at scale.
300atm compressed H2 has more energy than batteries. 600wh/L electric. 900 wh/L heat. LH2 is equivalent to 1100atm compressed. LH2 is right for aviation because the tanks are light/simple, and they are filled shortly before takeoff. It’s a big weight savings over kerosene.
Article says whole system is 1000wh/kg (including support machinery). There are 5 (including intermediate step) reactions of air and sodium. I’d guess they are using 100% humidity air. H2 is part of the reaction with humidity, and is a much more rapid and “exothermic” reaction than transformation to SaO.
Hydrogen is clean electrolysis too. Would cost less.
1200 Wh / kg of sodium
That is about the H2 energy release from sodium reacting with water (perhaps just humidity in air).
however gasoline is a whole 3800 Wh / kg
H2 has 33000wh/kg, and a fuel cell gets double the energy of a combustion engine/turbine, and so if you were starting with sodium, might as well pour water on it on the ground, and fill the plane up with automatic high pressure H2.
There are no emissions other than water vapour from the sodium process because the reaction leaves solid/liquid byproducts (that are too valuable to discard) other than H2.
It’s a red flag that they don’t compare to H2, which has significant aviation FC prospects/research, and has even higher energy density by weight, and the advantage of exhausting water vapour and so fuel weight goes down during trip.
Sodium is also produced by electrolysis. It can make a lot of H2 and heat by reacting with water. In fact, the reaction of 1 ton makes 1.8mwh of heat, + 1.4mwh of H2 heat value (900kwh electric), where hot H2 might have extra energy potential for electricity or combustion (not sure).
Sodium metal costs $2000/ton. Reaction with water makes 42kg of H2, and so about $46/kg of H2 is too high. The heat would improve the efficiency of SOFCs (described matches article) by getting the heat for free, and maybe 1.2mwh/ton electric. SOFCs have always had the advantage of working with polluted fuel blends.
Perhaps if sodium or H2 production was combined with desalination process, then cost of green sodium or H2 could be lowered.
Are you soft for America??? Be hard and fuck every hole in the ground. Gay pornstar hard!
Huawei has sold a lot of phones last year based on “surprising advances” from SMIC. They have shipping AI chips that are benchmarked based on announcements that drew skepticism at the time. Not sure about this company’s product or how close it is to shipping.
Yaweh was the “subgod” for Israelites.
Yaweh was one of the sons of El in Caananite religion, which has the same Noah myth, and the religion/people is based on one of his son’s decendants. El was accepted by Greeks as the same god as Zeus. Many other Caananite polytheistic gods had Greek equivalents.
When Moses wrote the tablets, he was basically doing a religious coup to claim the Hebrew/Israelite “subgod” was the primary god. Denouncing Idolatry, and “thou shalt not covet” was also a rebelion against the main/historical Phoenecian/Caananite religion to when Israelites war against Phoenecians “do not covet their idols, destroy them”.
clicked link about a dead pigeon… was expecting/hoping to see some deepfake examples.
They sell everything in China, afaik. In Trump 1.0 economy, there was a huge number of unicorn startups (Wework, Doordash, Uber) that lost money. Many of them are profitable today. That practice is good for economy in that equity investors are subsidizing consumer value.
Bottom line is that dumping is a political attack against abundance. Disruption usually requires a marketing effort to ramp up scale, and it would be unreasonable to force price increases on any company losing money, when they would not lose money if their sales volume was higher.
The US joined the war in Europe as a war on USSR. To limit their gains. Colonizing the western part.
