I’ve been trying for years to get my wife to stop using aerosol hair spray. After reading this article I’m honestly surprised she hasn’t died with how much she uses….

Honestly, though bad from an energy use perspective, if they’re led lights it might very well be more expensive to disassemble (and repair) the ceiling enough to get the codes and properly program them than it would be to just leave the lights on for several years.

And I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth that required surgical removal, and I never took anything but ibuprofen. They prescribed opioids, but I never felt the need to take them. Everyone is different.

I agree that it shows what it states, but focusing on that is of very limited value without additional information. You might be condescending as hell and consider that beautiful, but I don’t.

It’s taking a single data point out of context of the broader picture. That’s fair criticism of the way that data is being presented. If the map also showed the percentage for the largest share, then I would have no issue with it.

Right, but focusing on “top share” misses a lot of detail. You could have one state where the the majority is renewables, but no single renewable category exceeds coal, so coal is listed. And you could have another that gets 90% of its energy from coal, and on this diagram they both look the same. That’s what I mean by misleading. It’s technically correct but it’s only part of the truth.

This is somewhat misleading because in many cases the “top source” is still much less than 50% of the energy mix.

Technically, epigenetic inheritance is a thing, so they weren't entirely wrong.

In addition to the other poster, you have to think about how much other stuff you need to lift into space per person. If each person needs about a metric ton of stuff in order to survive once they're in space, then we would need to launch 8 billion tons of stuff into space. And that's not counting the mass of the vehicle to get them into space. Even if we figured out how produce enough antimatter and how to reliably contain it and use it as a fuel, thats still an epically large amount of mass to lift into orbit. Just building the ships and infrastructure to fuel and launch them would be a monumental task. It's as much an economic/labor/political challenge as an engineering one.

What happens to the hydroxide?

Or would you slowly find yourself to be more of an observer of a fuzzier view of the world, becoming gradually more dream-like and less controlled, as more and more of your brain-function is replaced by artificial neurons? It might seem normal at first, but more and more often you might realize you were doing something without ever consciously planning to do it. Maybe a bit like zoning out while driving and realizing you don't really remember driving the last several minutes, but instead it's like losing the last few hours.

Adding a nickel foil layer is inevitably going to increase the size and weight of a battery cell, so they're arguing that you don't need as many cells because charging more often is not as big of a deal if each charge is shorter.

It's trying to frame the downside of their solution as less of a downside.
