It probably doesn't matter. This type of battery is not all that interesting for things like electric cars, rather more so for things like grid energy storage on a massive scale. Think 1000s of these in a large building, getting charged during the day with excess solar energy, releasing it into the grid at night. Stuff like this is what has been missing to make even better use of renewables.

Too easy.

  1. "Tubthumping" by "Chumbawumba". It is easly the most annoying and obnoxious song, and the lyrics are so stupid.

IF the wizard feels particularly generous, I have more:

  1. "Hey Soul Sister" by "Train"
  2. "All Summer Long" by "Kid Rock"
  3. "Dragostea Din Tei" by "O-Zone" (the maya hee maya ho song)

There are so many more, but just thinking of them makes me angry, so I'll stop.

Just a few million terawatt hours more and we're as good as there!

STOP DOING C++

  • Templates were not supposed to make your error messages explode into unrecognizable gibberish
  • "Yes, please generate 5000 pages of garbage instead of an understandable error message!" - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

Look at what compilers have been demanding your respect for all this time:

???

They have played us for absolute fools.

There is this restaurant on a volcano on Lanzarote, in the "Parque Nacional de Timanfaya", where they cook with the heat from the magma below. I am sure you could cook a pizza with that, as well.

There are different kinds of wasps. Where I live, out of the many many kinds, only two are annoying in that they are aggressive and try to get your food. All others are chill and will leave you alone if you leave them alone. We had a nest outside our house one year. Often times, our paths would cross. A wasp would collide with us, just sit there in the air for a second, then fly around us. No time to chat, gotta get food for the hive. Also: bees and bumblebees will just take the day off if the weather is shitty. Wasps? MUST GET MORE FOOD. Hailstorm? Tornado? Lightning strikes five yards away? No excuse.

"Will it blend?" - in today's episode, Larry Ellison, massive waste of skin and resources.

This is me. I got a bag of old weed from a friend who had stopped smoking years ago. I had never smoked a blunt in my life, and wasn't a regular smoker either. So I did what any reasonable person would do abd turned it into a science experiment.

It was the late nineties and info on such matters freely flowed on the net. After some research, I decided to first produce hash oil, then make cookies from that. The process involved a lot of acetone and was pretty scary, and I would not try that again. I got some fine looking resin, and made the cookies. Then I tried one, and waited. Now, remember the guy who gave the weed to me said it was ages old and probably lost its effect. So I did what any reasonable person would do, and ate all of the cookies. You know, to make sure Id get at least some experience out if it.

The experience then started and lasted some 16 hours or so. It was weird seeing these strange cartoons play out before my eyes with them being fully open, and it was scary seeing my lungs pump air a few feet outside of my body, but other then that , it was quite an adventure. One I never repeated.

Zuerst sollten lieber die Bonuszahlungen für die Leute eingespart werden, die sowieso schon jährlich mehrere Million ~~verdienen~~ bekommen. Sorry, aber wer braucht mehr als 200k€ Gehalt pro Jahr.

Behob das für Dich.
