Quoting myself from another post with that topic:
Mamdani’s plans and actions are almost too good to be true, but true they are and they are more than a silver lining for a lot of people.
People like him are so desperately needed in the world of robber billionaires enslaving the whole world.
Those robber billionaires might not realize that yet, but people like Mamdani are going to save their lives by nibbling at their looted fortune.
And if the Mamdanis of this world fail, we can always resort to eating the billionaires.
The sea doesn’t bill by the hour.


I know how to reverse that ‘irreversible’ price spike…
Boost. Apparently there’s a setting I wasn’t aware of.
Plants need direct light to grow… most need full sun.
That’s only true, if the solar panels are not properly adjusted to this use case.
The solution for that is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivoltaics#Spectrally_selective_modules


Who has the balls to suggest killing himself?
I’m using Boost and there’s indeed a huge difference between this post and the source.


The cornea should be one of the most sensitive areas (in terms of irritation) of your eye.
I don’t know, but if I had to guess, I’d say it plays a crucial role in feeling that burn.


I say we need both.
People who go long distances need to stop to charge.


I beg to differ.
Charging time is still a strong deterrent for a lot of people considering EV instead of ICE vehicles.
I’d be happy to have such capabilities available, because I often charge my EV away from home and it’d be nice to have it done even faster, although I’m quite ok with 10-80% (equalling close to 300 km/190 miles) in around 20 minutes.


Those chargers are useful for the next generation consumer EVs.

Alas, the BYD ones will be hard to get by in the USA. Unless some American EV manufacturers can keep up with the Chinese EV manufacturers, ICE cars will be “recharged” faster than EVs - mission accomplished, I guess.


kW and kWh helps understanding charging speed/capacity better than MJ and MJ/s.
Btw. 1 MJ/s = 1 MW, but you surely know that.

Equipping houses with solar reduces upgrading work on the grid.
When it’s hot and the sun is shining, air conditioning works without putting any strain on the grid and with a properly sized battery this even works at night.
Better use the big solar parks for industrial use of electric energy and put the source of energy as close to the destination as possible.


USA has forgotten what declaring independence means.


If they are really going to serve consumer segments, I’m in.
Just like with solar panels, I’ll happily consider affordable state-of-the-art Chinese products, if companies from other countries don’t want to serve me at all or skin me alive.
Both RAM and solar panels should last a while. If replacement is due, I’ll have a look at the market again.


Anything from 3 times a day to once each 3 days should be considered normal/healthy unless there are reasons to expect other intervals.
…as would the users…
