In the vein of this thread, my parents introduced me to Pink Floyd as a child and I love them to this day.

I even read through all the footnotes and followed up on some of the references. Overall, it's quality writing, regardless of the topic. The author is good and I think the fact that they are an editor on Wikipedia shows.

Comment on Sionic Energy unveils 100% silicon anode battery with high energy density in ~enviro
Nazarie Link ParentThis statement felt incorrect so I checked the Tesla Model Y. It's got a curb weight of 1998kg and a battery weight of 771kg (according to Google). That's ~38%, which I would not classify as...Batteries are just a tiny proportion of the car's weight
This statement felt incorrect so I checked the Tesla Model Y. It's got a curb weight of 1998kg and a battery weight of 771kg (according to Google). That's ~38%, which I would not classify as "tiny".
That being said, based on the rest of your statement I see you realize batteries are heavy and lowering that weight is a good target. I agree fully. But I happen to think lowering charge times drastically is a much more important target. Today, charging a BEV is an event unlike refilling an ICE. If we can get BEVs to recharge almost as fast as an ICE, it increases the ease of adoption in a broader segment. Range is quickly approaching the ICE average already. Even though most people don't need that range very often, they still insist on having it available. Obviously, this is just my personal opinion as an observer.

The family sharing beta was great and I'm glad to see it come out of beta now. There was one point when a valve employee called out my underage kid having an account, but I explained that I controlled the account closely and managed all purchases myself and they were ok with what I was doing. YMMV

The way the breaker panel is designed, you're only getting a single phase per standard breaker slot. And the phase you get alternates, so any two adjacent breakers are on different phases. And any 240v circuit would have a double pole breaker. As another poster above said, you have to cut both phases of a 240v circuit at once, so using two single pole breakers for 240v would be bad mojo.

Nazarie Link ParentThe same can be said for more insulation or alternative architecture that's better at passive heat dissipation. Combine that with this technology and you can have even better results.The same can be said for more insulation or alternative architecture that's better at passive heat dissipation.

If satisfactory is kinda related as you said, maybe try Dyson Sphere Program. I saw someone else recommended Grounded and I second that suggestion as well.

I've basically given up and settled on buying the exact same pack of TP without doing price comparisons.
Those crazy deals you mention are really common at places like Dollar General (if you have one). They are also notorious for listing a discount that's not even in the system, so you have to watch them like a hawk and call out any "mistakes". Contrast that with my local Publix who will proactively tell me if I missed picking up items that were part of a BOGO or something similar.

It's an interesting point. I've been having a lot of online interactions lately where I inferred a tone from the specific words used and it's causing me to overanalyze things a bit. I'd say the use of the word "such" set a negative connotation to an otherwise neutral sentence. Word choice and it's connection to emotions is so strange and interesting.
