What about a pitcher?

Sodium batteries are more grid scale I believe. They require seriously high temps to operate and thats best shared in massive banks

Not just grid scale, already been used in EV’s, less temperature sensitive than Li-ion, way more charge cycles but not quite as energy dense as lithium per kg but that’s not a downside in a static installation.

That article triggered me to send it to my friends. C be crazy.

It's not standard conforming C. asm() is an extension.

I just downloaded a game I bought on steam 12 years ago and played it. I hadn't really thought of the game in the intervening time. If this had been minecraft, I'd have had to pay for the game again because I didn't convert my account.

But no, subnautica was ready to go, though the base building was just as buggy as it was before.


Also, a lot of it makes no sense. Bonobos is listed as "Avoid" because it was bought out, not because the product was made worse in any way. Some entries have reasoning about avoiding because the product was made worse, but most are just "company was sold" or "owned by a conglomerate"

That isn't reason enough for me to avoid, maybe to watch for things, but not avoid. Wake me when a product is worse on purpose, like the title claims.

And it's just ai slopped text too. This is the reason ThermoWorks is "Approved"

> Independent and honest; manufacturing is English rather than American, which matters for framing but not for stewardship

What does that even mean? That says absolutely nothing.

Same with the reason lodge is approved:

> Family-owned, US-made, priced honestly. The anchor of the entire counter-list.

Says nothing besides the AI wrote everything, and likely claude.


This is really dishonest framing, unless you really, honestly can't tell a difference between pulping a mass market paperback romance novel that there's 3 million of in circulation, and shredding an 18th century botanical text that there's only 2 copies of in existence.

You call of dishonest framing, but you're begging the question twice.

Once that AI companies are really shredding 200 year old rare books, and once that libraries are only weeding mass market pulp fiction.


That is literally what this article is about.

The "article" in question is a tweet. The "rare botanical text" is just an example the author of the tweet made up in order to generate sympathy.

The tweet is about a 404 Media article about the practice. It's linked elsewhere here.

Does the 404media article mention that rare botanical book? I saw an excerpt here elsewhere of their examples and it wasn't in that list.

Also I had a family member work in libraries. They got rid of books for very small prices based on how many people checked them out. Not how easy they were to replace. One example was a 100 year old gold leafed book they sold for £5 to someone who removed every page to sell separately.


To strip away your rhetoric, you are saying it is Ukraine's fault for Russian drones flying into Romania.

The only loaded rhetoric is coming from you, I merely stated what the incentives are. Note that the situation is somewhat symmetric in that Russia also has an incentive to misdirect Ukrainian drones toward NATO airspace (which has happened).

> misdirect Ukrainian drones toward NATO airspace (which has happened).

Claims to such effect has been made in public by reputable persons but they are not very credible nor has any supporting evidence been shown in public.

Drones getting lost due to GNSS jamming is happening.

But intentional misdirection towards a target would require GNSS spoofing capabilities over an impractically large area and that the drones would be susceptible to simple spoofing. They have satellite navigation, inertial navigation, terrain following cameras and listen to ground based radio sources like cell towers and are designed to operate in hostile RF environment. Just sending a fake GPS signal (several of them) won't make the drone divert to a specific target or direction.

I'm not buying the misdirection story until more compelling evidence is made public.


I made no claims as to whether misdirection is happening or feasible, only that there are incentives for both sides to do so if it is, while there are no incentives for Russia to take on a much larger enemy while it can barely handle Ukraine, which OP was implying was the obvious explanation.

His name indicates a troll.

I read the article. It absolutely does support the title. Unless you someone consider finger printable devices sending unencrypted location data somehow doesn't enable stalking

The article just say it's insecure, the title says that such security is a "feature for stalkers". I'm sorry, I don't see how insecurity makes it better for stalkers.

Clearly, they care

As someone who has over 800 gallons in aquariums between three tanks in his house, I'll say structural support is not as important as people make it out to be (ask an actual structural enginer). Anything up to 120 or so is just fine hanging out on a floor without extra support.

Also steel is completely unnecessary unless you're doing something wild like that guy in NYC with a 17,000 gallon home aquarium. If you're just throwing a 200 gallon or so on a second floor, an enginer might not care at all if its across the joists or has a wall below it, but even if its completely open below, the "support" might just be a joist of a different design, or an inch thicker or one extra joist. Steel is really not nessecary
