Sure, but it's still fucking stupid.

I just buy toilet paper from Costco once every one to two months and I'm fine.....these people are insane, stupid, or both. Seriously WTF does toilet paper have to do with survival? Just get a bidet if it gives you this much anxiety FFS.

I'm all for Sodium batts in cars, but my understanding is this battery tech is a different chemical composition than other Sodium Ion batteries. Most of those are not solid state AFAIK.

Actually exciting battery tech that isn't just fluff. They actually built the thing and tested it, rather than it being a theoretical, not-easily-produced thing and it worked.

As others have said, this is for grid-scale and not EVs, but still exceptional progress and very important for energy storage.

That article screams "written by an AI". It repeats itself so much, it's like a kid trying to hit the 1k word requirement for an essay in high school English.

I mean .... Vance is an idiot, but I have three boys. Between me, my wife, and my three kids, we each eat 2-3 eggs worth of scrambled eggs some mornings. 5x2 is 10, 5x3 is 15. That's right in line with his claims, if he counts himself and wife, which he probably is and just being an idiot again.

That said, I don't have eggs EVERY DAY. FFS my cholesterol would be sky high. I do buy 10-15 dozen eggs at a time, though, because the local farmer's market sells 15 dozen for $25-30 and eggs will keep for 6-10 weeks in the fridge that is consistently the same low, near freezing temp (perfect for the outdoor, secondary fridge).

Ok bud. Sure thing.

As a straight dude, my first internal knee-jerk reaction was "this is such a stupid solution to a stupid problem", but then my mental "Don't be an asshat because not everybody is like you" guard rail kicked in.

Clearly this is a product for a market of people that it works for and I'm happy for them. Enjoy your neat keyboard thing, long nailed peeps.

I honestly think Generations gets hated on more than it should because the Enterprise D is destroyed. People love that ship.

"GIMME YER BELT!"

Voyager. Hands down.

When even the captain acknowledges it, it's bad. At least Picard had Starfleet support at his back.
