Round them all up and send them to Greenland. I hear they really like it.

Basically yes, but sodium ion batteries can be as good as LFP and used in all the same applications, if we go beyond the very near term. The LFP is limited to 500 Wh/kg (cathode material basis) but sodium can use layered oxides with more than that. (The problem is anode-side (charge-) density.)

People need to shut up with their "both sides" bull crap. At this point, IF there are only two sides, then it's US versus THE PEOPLE KILLING US. I can't believe I have to say this as if I was still teaching middle school, but THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO KILL ITS OWN CITIZENS.

Let’s Build!* * Concentration Camps, because Strategic Competition

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.

3/ Second, the cause and scope of your awakening is relevant. Are you here because the leopards eat your face? Are you still on board with the leopards eating all of the other faces? Has this experience given you any empathy for the faces you were cheering the leopards to eat last week?

1/ Thoughts: It's good when people who didn't agree with me change their minds. However, exactly how much grace I offer them post-revelation depends on a range of factors. My tent is big and so has room for many people. It's also large enough that I can let someone in but not sit with them.

If anybody needs proof of the recent incompetence at SpaceX. This should have been done before everything else.

Things to learn from the American Revolution that may apply today. I wrote these to explain the significance of that era, but it is very applicable today

When you realize you used your influential platform to make this version of our country happen

C'mon. You're waaaaaay behind the curve. The minimum *now* is the entire government being removed. Dems just want to preserve the power structure they hope to rule within. But this too is untenable. This *is* a Revolution now. Nothing less.

This could be the start of the revolution. Typical event for this sort of thing.

One of the reasons I never really used it in the first place.

People aren't nearly talking enough about the career of Trumps favorite President McKinley. It's worth doing it. From beginning to end.

No launch today. Isar Aerospace is standing down from today's launch attempt to address an issue with a pressurization valve. The company is currently assessing the next possible launch opportunity.

Like that, geothermal is a disappointment waiting to happen. It works for a few decades and then people realize that geothermal isn't actually limitless and renewable and only economically viable when extracted at unsustainable rates. That doesn't mean it can't be used, but not at that scale.

Important perspective from Greenland.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Honestly I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this Orwellian space bullshit. Putting lipstick on a cosmic space pig about a horribly destructive, wasteful and regressive year at NASA. 🧪🔭 www.nasa.gov/news-release...

In 2018 I was at a space conference and stood about 4-5m away from Trumps Nasa Chief Jim Bridenstine, when he said that "We live in a post-westphalian world, we get involved with each other" - referring to the peace of Westphalia, the end of the 30-year war in 1648. And that's what he meant.

This is quite possibly, and worryingly, the only interesting thing to have ever come out of Davos in my adult life.

My sense is most Americans have zero clue just how enormous a deal this is here across the Atlantic.

The energy density comparison would be a lot less tortured, if people could start to simultaneously refer to cathode material energy density (500 Wh/kg for LFP, 650-750 Wh/kg for mid/high nickel NMC) and cell level energy density. Bonus points for finally switching to kg/kWh instead of Wh/kg.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

Trump's obsession with Greenland and erratic interventionism towards Venezuela are almost textbook case studies of a declining great power externalising its growing domestic instability into external imperial quagmires

What's so surprising about that? For the last 5 years the word "bizarre" has stood in for fascism in the USA.

The only way back into any alliance is for the USA should be to submit to a rules-based international order, including full recognition of and submission under international courts of justice.

2024: can Europe defend itself ALONGSIDE America? 2025: can Europe defend itself WITHOUT America? 2026: can Europe defend itself AGAINST America?

How it started ... How it's going

The EU should offer membership to Canada, Alaska, New England, Washington (state), Oregon and California - as separate member states.

This is exactly how to treat the USA today. Deal with each state separately and offer the benefits of democratic rule in exchange for preferential treatment over all states that do not resist the Trump tyranny.

All heroism is lack of choice. And yes, the situation in Ukraine is terrible and there will be serious (and naturally "unforeseen") backlash towards the rest of Europe over their treatment - a few years after the war is over.

Ihr könnt aufhören, mich zu der Firma zu befragen. ;)

Das nennt man Absicht. Künstliche Knappheit um Immobilienpreise künstlich anzuheben. Politische gewollte Umverteilung von arm zu reich.

The USA doesn't need a democrats to win the next election - they need a revolution. A complete destruction of the political order that has brought them to where they are.

Here is the other data.

They keep blowing up rockets every two months or so, but claim launches every hour. Won't happen. Musk lost his mind. Don't do drugs. It's bad for you. Even when you're the richest drug addict of the world.

And Biden and Olaf Scholz and many, many others.

Inzwischen sollten wir vor Fake Politik warnen.

Don't expect the babushkas to topple Putin. They are driving the war and the men into their deaths, so long as they get paid off. Once the money runs out, they will blame everything on the evil patriarchy in Russia. This is what happened everywhere in WWI. There is no good side in gender politics.

Even in Europe, few people realize that the EU has a land-border (ok. a moist-jungle-border) with Brazil.

Und Milei steht als "Miley" da. Was schnell mal passiert, wenn man ohne besseres Wissen Милей rücktransliteriert.

Apropos Berlin: Wer für Vance "Vans" schreibt, kennt den Namen (nur oder vorwiegend) aus der üblichen kyrillischen Schreibung. Ванс. Und wer Giffey schreibt und gleich in der nächsten Zeile Giffay, kennt auch diesen Namen wohl nur aus der kyrillischen Umschrift. Гифай.

Kick him in the balls. It worked with Cecil Rhodes.

Merz ist ein Trumpist. Machen wir uns nichts vor.

Yet another example of "ecologists upset after discovering that there is more life in a given ecosystem than before and warn that having more life will have dire consequences for life in this ecosystem". Classic story. They'll never understand where their credibility has gone.

Guys, a Trump run military attack on Venezuela will not be Iraq War pt 2. It will be deeply fucked up in its own unique way.

Trump wants to monopolize oil in collaboration with Russia and Saudi Arabia. Pretty obvious now. Destroy all alternative suppliers like Iran and Venezuela and then put pressure on Europe. The only chance may be a political solution in the US. That is, overthrow the dictator.

May your 2026 be as cozy as a cat draped in velvet

Ein Medium, das gezielt "rechte" oder "linke" Leute rekrutiert, sollte sein Verständnis von Journalismus überdenken. Unterschiedliche Perspektiven bekommt man durch Vielfalt bei Herkunft und Lebensgeschichten. Und nicht, indem man "rechte" und "linke" Bildungsbürgerkinder rumeiteln lässt. Rant Ende.
